    Bait To Heavy?

    I know this is sometimes the case and even for some specific fish around here. But I just want to give it a little more action to avoid it running still when lacquered. I know I should just start over with a different wood but I just wanna make this thing work:P The wood was so hard to carve so it would be a pain to not make the best of it. I'm going to drill a series of holes first in the top, the wood is plenty strong to have these air pockets in it. I know that grinding the lip edge to an angle will also work sometimes but this would be my resort because I suck at doing that.
  2. Normally I make balsa baits and the line tie is directly in the lure body but this time i tried something different. I wanted a somewhat deep diving crankbait that would trow far and was durable. So I tried beech wood. Damn that stuff is hard! This would also be the first bait with a line to in the lip. So i just tried it out in the water but it was not what I was hoping for. It had some action but not enough. I didn't use any weights in the bait because the wood is already so dense, could this be the problem of it lacking action ? It's JUST floating in the water when it has hooks on , and I suppose it might even suspend when painted and lacquered. Would it work if i drilled a couple of big holes in the bait and sealed this up to up the buoyancy a little? Or should I change something with the line tie or the lip? thanks

    wow , really nice lures, what do you intend to use them on? looks like a great walleye/zander crank. Aren't you afraid to pull the line tie out?
  5. ok thanks for checking glad to hear that haha
  6. I noticed the same thing before but I doubt it, he must be using some super super glue to hold it that tight, I guess it's just a very shallow precise slot. The action is very nice indeed, nice hunting action like most Finnish wobblers.
  7. Here's another one from a Finnish private company, a little more detailed.

  9. Does anyone have any experience with the revo s if so is the side play i have in the video normal? I bought this reel unused trough the net and this is my first baitcaster so I haven't got much experience with them. Apart form the side play the baitcaster casts great, i'm still waiting for my first backlash.

    I think my wire is just to hard, If I do that, it just springs back a little, I can never get it that tight.
