Hey fellas,

Been too busy plowing snow and trying not to freeze to death to get much done in the shop lately. Did manage to finish this little guy....a smaller version of my flaptail with some small modifications.
I moved the line-tie up from under the chin and shortened up the length a little (had to due to a malfunction)....I really like how it turned out the shorter length (same hardware wt.) and moving the line tie up caused it to run a little lower in the water column and really get some commotion going with the flaptail. All in all it's 5.5 inches long and weighs in at just over 2.5 oz. Oh yeah and I'm still working on the custom eyes

I hope everybody is off to a good start with the winter building....Best,

MS


Happy Birthday Pops.....R.I.P

Thanks fellas for the kind words.
I made the eyes myself with left over epoxy and a concoction of additions
Its impossible to capture the essence with a pic,they really reflect and throw light, look a different color from every angle
