$1000 master lure...

Just finished this one up last night. Only change will be a lefty 1 lip instead of the lefty 2 as the #2 seems create too much roll if you retrieve too fast. If you fish this thing painfully slow it works perfectly... After I added all the hardware it became a slow sinker, which is what I wanted. Still need some practice with the tail loops...maybe I'll watch one of you guys some time so I can figure out how to get mine rounder and tighter.

Again, Numby helped with the specs so some day I'll have to give him one of my kidneys or the like as payback...

Specs:

7" Birch body, which is actually an Atom 40 copy, but turned at a much smaller diameter than the big 40 and obviously jointed.

Lefty 1 or 2 mid slot depending on preference.

2/0 hooks and flag tail

2.25 oz total weight

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
