decoy= an act that your girfriend does to get you to the alter,then shut's you off after you say I do.

working lure= a lady of the night who doesn't say no.

Lightbulb was just thinkin here...

from your tail idea Capesams...on the decoys...

i stretched a mac pic to conform fit to your plug body shape...

and thought of an alternate tail ...since they are already chambered
on the smallest plastic spatula's...would be tougher than rubba...tails.

Great work Capesams,
You called them a work in progress which I really like. I guessing that each time you fiddle with one you adjust a little on how the final lure will act or look like. Shows you got a good feeling and understanding of trying to reach a goal for that lure. Great work and Ideas!


Its only art if it don't catch fish!
