Wakers

Flaptail inspired boulder feild cruisers,, 5 1/4" long ,, smallest ways 2.5 ounces heaviest is 2.8... I was looking at a super strike stubby sinker when I turned the bottom one.. These should cast well and are very easy to make ,so its not the end of the world loosing one .. They are all made of ayc and float level ,staying on top . Blurple with glow in the dark eyes...

I tied the ratty arse tails ..

I remember Karl F talking about cork/lead mixture to make heavy lures that float . I was going to experiment with lead and that expanding foam they sell in airesol cans . "Great Stuff" .. was planning on messing with it this winter..

Try the Hilti (sp?) foam that comes in the red can, you can re-use it vs great stuff being a one shot deal.

when it's all said and done... fish "think" just like a lizard...
and when you look at many of the prehistoric fossils found
they had four fins that used to be legs. I "know" I know...
you think i'm crazy... but when you have shaman visions
this is what i've been shown.
