Slim pickings

Uh....not exactly slim, but something to liven things up a bit.

Super nice! I just turned some of those, have yet to hydro-orient abd machine. I think one may turn out like that one.

Cool stuff George, I am honored to be put in the same sentence as tagger. I just hope he dont want too cut me in half (from jaws kinda - "Hey Chief were gonna need a bigger saw")

The slope looks to be 40 deg, no? I think you will find that thing is gonna go down and fast kinda tough from shore but stop reeling it in and she comes up quick.
The 30 deg and slightly less are easier from shore and with the right wood/retrieve they can stay on top or close to it
fun lure

No I'm honored sir ,, I think you got more time in on this one than me ..Great lure ... would like to try the single belly hook one like that ,.. Want to get an original ... I make the big one with 2 belly hooks and the tail hook .. I run 1 5/0 on the belly and 1 5/0 on the tail .. runs the same as the 3 3/0.... thanks Tobias for that ..look at all the money we are saving on metal lips ..

I've done the large ones in sugar pine, but if I use a tailweight they don't swim well. Without a weight they have a tight wiggle and when I do the tailweight they tend to kick out and turn over. If I make more I need to figure out a jig to cut the head angle, the way I've been doing it is scary.
