"Cuptails"

These are some experimental lures , that I made in winter 2006/2007 .

I took over the head-design of the old "Bass Oreno" , a time-tested great lure , but I didn't taper the tail , instead I furnished the tail portion with a deep cupping , similar to the mouth of a popper lure , but yet a little deeper .

These lures have about the same action like the "Bass Oreno" , only they don't dive quite as deep and also their "frequency of wiggle" is just a bit more sluggish .

But the cupped tail causes these lures to go down with a loud popping noise , also generates an "explosion" of air-bubbles on the surface , when the lure is sligthly jerked to dive .

The lure with the diving lip is an own design called "Cuptail Diver" , it swims head-down at rest and has the same popping and bubbling features like the "Cuptail Oreno" , but digs down to approx. 8 feet , so is literally a surface,-and a diving lure in one bait .

During first testing of it I had a follow of a bigger pike on it , but she turned away again , when she saw me standing on that platform at the bank .

The smaller "Cuptail Oreno", approx. 2" long , produced some perch already , occasionally these love surface action .
