My LAST one for this season.
 

I started this one some time ago, will have to blame MURPHTHESURF for sending me the knives to CARVE with. this one took LOTS an LOTS of hours SANDING an CARVING , got 2 outher in different stages, LOTS more SANDING an SHAPING left on them 1. STRIPER an PICKEREL. wont be done this season. this LMB is 9" long an has 10/0 tail hook, 5/0 belly hook, he most likley wont see action, unless I CUT the BAIT FISH out of his mouth an put a SCREW-EYE in place, then he'd be PIKIE BAIT. :smash:
GOOD LUCK GOOD PLUGGIN:uhuh:

well done, very artistic.

You might have to put a screweye in the mouth of the bait fish just so you don't have some jerk say something like "If it's a fishing lure how do you attach it to the line?"

BTW - How do you attach that to a line? :rotf2:

All kidding aside - that is a real fun piece!
