Friend of mine told me he'd had good luck on a coach dog Devil's Horse at Falcon so I thought I'd build something similar for myself. Of course I had to "personalize" it just a tad.]]> Thu, 17 May 2012 04:03:32 +0000 http://www.tackleunderground.com/community/gallery/image/10540-no-fish-left-behind/ http://www.tackleunderground.com/community/gallery/image/10539-pvc-prototype-1/

Just a little baitfish type paint job in transparent paint .looks metalic down the back with pearl sides and yellow belly]]> Tue, 15 May 2012 03:50:02 +0000 http://www.tackleunderground.com/community/gallery/image/10535-transparent-bait/ http://www.tackleunderground.com/community/gallery/image/10534-pvc-cranks2/
Same group, upside down. Position is everything. Hahaha
I think you can see the bills better on this one.]]> Tue, 15 May 2012 01:41:05 +0000 http://www.tackleunderground.com/community/gallery/image/10534-pvc-cranks2/ http://www.tackleunderground.com/community/gallery/image/10533-pvc-cranks/
A group of 2 1/2" PVC cranks I made. All the bills are 1/8" lexan.

The one on the bottom left caught a 7lb2oz bass two weeks ago, and the bluegill caught several last weekend.
The four on the left are copies of the Bomber Switchback that runs to 14', but I'm not sure mine run that deep. I do know they grind the bottom in12'. They all weigh 19 grams.
The group on the right are different. Same basic body design, but flatter sides.
The top one weighs 22 grams, middle is 21, and the bottom, the smallest at only 2", weighs 15 grams.
They have different bills, too, and the bottom one, the smaller one, has the same bill at the others. It hunts.
The middle one on the right has a wider bill, and it dives faster and deeper. It is the one I lost prefishing on Friday, and had returned to me by a competitor/friend after the weigh in on Saturday. He found it floating in the back of that cove on tournament day.
If you look close, you can see where the paint got scraped by my lure retriever when I tried, and failed, to get it unstuck in the wind.
All the paint is Createx, Hobby Lobby, or Wildlife, and I dipped each one three times in SC9000.
i used a hair comb with every other tooth remove for the stripes on the bluegill.
I added clear nail polish with glitter on some after the top coat had dried.]]> Tue, 15 May 2012 01:40:43 +0000 http://www.tackleunderground.com/community/gallery/image/10533-pvc-cranks/ http://www.tackleunderground.com/community/gallery/image/10531-pike/

Sinking jerkbait. The pattern itself looks vivid and intense, so I hope this jerkbait will help me to lure some nice creatures.]]> Mon, 14 May 2012 08:42:37 +0000 http://www.tackleunderground.com/community/gallery/image/10529-pike/ http://www.tackleunderground.com/community/gallery/image/10528-glitter-pike/
