Heres something new Im working on.

Replica of a Creek Chub Bait Co Surfster 7400. Was going to buy on the auction site the other day but went for $180, and it was pretty beat. Buddy had an original, well fished from his dad so used that one for the model.

Should weigh around 2.5 to 2.75 oz when done.

7.75" long

Deep recessed eyes to accept some vintage style real glass eyes.

Need to grab some big surfster lips now.

Plan on doing these for plugfest to swap. Think the upper lip needs to be thicker and beefed up.

I looked up some original paint schemes from them, crazy stuff for the 50s, definetly ahead of there time.
