Ed that predator in rainbow trout is sick. Kinda looks like a wierd alien bug form Nice stuff
Thanks Salty ... Magna Strike marched to a different beat ,, Everyone was making fishlike baits ,, they made aliens .. I really like that creepy lure ... thanks guys .. Other than darters and predators I don't know if any of these new ones even work ... I just learned yesterday when knocking off plastic to wood you have to make the lip larger to compinsate for weight of wood ... whoops .. new learning curve ..

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Bruce! Wicked nice! You know, I can tell a Slipknot plug anytime, you have a signature tail loop. Gibbs had one, Pond had one too.

I think those slant faced poppers have a date in the "Jenna Rose"!

Why even try.........

yep , patina, that's what it is

OK, I'll bring the one and only I have that matched the first one I made. Tried to duplicate it, but haven't succeeded quite yet.

Well George, it's close enough. I don't like belly grommets anymore. That danny blank was one of 2 out of 24 that was heavy for some reason, so we'll see how she swims.

what kind of wood are those alien plugs anyway? Back when I made them I used red cedar for their lightness and they swam great as long as I was precise with the body profile.
You Have to do some trading with me at the fest OK

Neat shapes, interesting idea on to nose loop, and peerless finishes as usual. Inspiring.
