going in a different direction...

I'm kind of getting burnt out turning wood. So I decided to spend some time trying to learn how to make tins. I've got way to much time into these, but I did manage to get exactly what I wanted.

The spoons on the left are 3.5 oz for a dying tide in the canal.
The middle spoons are 2.5 and for the beach.

The 2 piece tins are 3 oz, the fron half is 1 3/4 and the back half is 1 and 1/4. The action on the fixed hook is suprising subtle, I think it will be good for getting down in mild current.

The 3 tiny ones are like 1/2 an oz and 3/4 of an oz, I was thinking I could maybe use them when peanuts are around or as a teaser. I also tried hooking them up to the back 1/2 of the 2 piece ones and they had a nice wobble and were right around 2 oz.

The ones on the upper right are 2 5/8. I wanted something a tiny bit lighter than a 4h hopkins that was heavier in the rear and would be easy to bring up to the surface for albies or blues...
