I'm done for now. Did the Pichney 5 1/8" Danny ( bootleg shape) surface (cedar) & shallow sub surface(yellow pine). Extensive testing and trial :WHEW!. Did a few sea pup spooks. & a few big water 3.5oz needles.Time to fish,already got 2 fish in local river.

I finished the last two I was working on, and started two more for a fund raiser at my son's High School. The two completed are a realistic Crappie glide bait made from 7/8" maple, 5 1/2" long weighing 3oz. It is a slow sinking glider dropping at about 1 foot per second. I like to use these type baits when fishing parallel to a nice deep weed line, say 14'. Toss it out, count down to 5-7 feet and begin that slow tap cadence walk the dog at that weed line, just defying those ambush predators to make a move. That's a blast! The other is a much smaller popper made from WRC, 4" and 1oz, should get those large and smallmouth bass moving all season.

I thought I might post a picture of where I'll be using all of these baits as well, beautiful Vilas county Wisconsin.
