A bomber for JohnR

Well after feeling a little guilty about not making John a Blurple bomber I finally made it. The pearl and blurple bombers are going to the outer cape with me at the end of the month. (The top one is for John)

Action similar to a bomber? I'll have to check them out at the Cape.

Any chance of having you post your lifesize pattern to try some myself? How do you wire in the hooks on that curved body?

I would but am computer illiterate. Loading pics is done through Kodak. I have no idea how do the jpg thing. The body is curved but thru wire goes straight end to end. There is not enough wood mass there to do it like a pike. (off set at swivel hole) Just lay a bomber on a piece of wood and cut it with a bandsaw. Weighting was trial and error. These move more like a lazy baitfish than the thumping like a plastic bomber. Still messing around with them so only time will tell how they catch.
