Here's a little monster for Saltydog
He said he did not have anything with a surfster lip, well his first is hopefully a special one. This baby is 8 1/2" long and 4.5 oz. We seem to agree on big baits! Wood is AWC. All custom. I cut the lip with tinsnips from 24g stainless and shaped it on a doming block (took a few tries to get it close). The glass eyes originally were clear and I painted them red. Its funny he should ask about the cupped eye sockets, because this one has them. The paint scheme is my favorite old Creek Chub pattern, White Scale. I don't tie often, so I am a little rusty, but the tail matches the paint. Retrieve this one slowly right on top for some tail wagging action. It does roll some, but the white sides flash like crazy and I believe will pull in some fish.
Saltydog, I can mail this baby or bring it to plugfest. If you want me to mail it, PM your address. I hope you enjoy it and catch a cow!
Larry, this was great idea. Thanks for the opportunity to build specific to a fellow angler and builder's request.

I'm going down cellar right now to start my marathon assembly session. I will post asap. My daughter was home all week, school vacation, and I had to keep her busy so it ate into my time. She is gone with wife to work so now I can get at it. Sorry for the delay but that is how I roll.
