Large handcarved finished

Finished these guys up. They turned out to be a real project. I don't know how the musky guys do those real big baits all the time. They took several coats of clear to get where they are and could probably use another to get them real glassy. Alot more materials than I would have suspected all the way around. Epoxy, plumbers epoxy, wire etc. The two hook ones are 9" long and 1 3/4 around at the widest part. The smaller one is from the same template just modified a bit. The Rebel looking one is a body that Copycat gave me and I finished up. I need some tails for these and I will be seeing a couple guys tomorrow who could probably help me out there. I swam the two big ones with two different lips and saw almost no difference. I was going to try them with a third hook on the tail but liked them the way they were with two and didn't even try it. These were fun but I can't wait to get back to my small stuff.
