This is a 5" cedar glide bait I make which is lead weighted for perfect balance and swimming action. It zig zags side to side when twitched and swims in a wicked "s" during a straight retrieve.

This is a little more like most of my Craw-Babes, but without the carved shell-back ridge detail. It is hard to tell from this picture but the lip is canted down a few degrees from horizontal, making the action a little less lively, & more stable for faster retieves. Balsa, stainless one piece harness, Createx paint and Dicknite's Topcoat.

The shad color bait is epoxy sealed, Createx paint, 4 coats of brushed Dicknite's Clear Topcoat, Fully tied straight-pull single piece stainless wire 3-point harness, lure body is a single piece of 1/2 inch balsa, with a circuit board lip. The chartreuse-crawfish twins are made sandwhich style using 2 pieces of balsa each, but are otherwise the same besides having slightly smaller lips.. Nothing like fishing custom lures that are built for specific lakes and conditions!

The results of a long time collaboration between Chip and Myself. Weighs in at over 2 oz's. I wish I could tell you that I did the finish, but that wouldn't be quite true.:lol: Freshwater Flavors are in the works!

10" copper based crankbait. It has real copper foil that I painted over and then removed some paint to leave the scale effect.

The lure was casted out of plastics but I needed balsa to do this from the very start!!! You can do more with balsa than fish it!!! That is for sure..
