These are for Backbeach Jake. He challanged me to make one of my small spooks in any color I wanted. Did up a classic jiggy blue. Figured that wasn't much of a challange, so I did up a larger version, in a sort of olive mac color. Figured he is getting on in years, so I personalized it for him as a helpful reminder who he is

Here's a danny for redneck24. It's a very pale wonderbread like the old pearl bombers. It's one of my 3 'go to' colors.

It is 5 1/2 " and 2.5 oz. It has about 1/4 inch of lead in the tail which is just enough to take most of the tumble out of the cast without affecting the action too much. I tied a tail for it but I did not close the eye of siwash so he can fish it that way or swap it for a rear treble if he prefers 2 trebles..
