Those are unbelievable! How do they swim? And do you sell baits?
Thank you! These are top water baits that swim just below the surface and create a V coming through the water.
I do sell some but mainly just to a few guys. It's sometimes hard to keep up with them.

As usual, I'm blown away by how clean your lures are, from wire to the lip to paint to epoxy.
Thank you for the kind words Eastman! Much appreciated.

Great work! Do you give your baits a coat of epoxy before paint? Your lures always come out really clean.
Thank you!
Yes, I apply a coat or 2 of epoxy and lightly sand with 400 before painting. It leaves a nice smooth finish to paint on and hides the edge lines if doing foil like these.

Love the detail on those scales!
Thank you! The scales are done with this little metal tube that I cut a section out of as shown. It doesn't require much pressure to make a good impression in the foil.

Man, these look SO GOOD!
Thank you! The bottom bait was originally going to be a tiger muskie pattern but kinda sorta morphed into more of a smallmouth muskie hybrid. lol

Understood, would probably need to upsize some of the tools, but certainly seems logical. Do you use pure lead, or an alloy like linotype? For some larger jigs, I'm switching to alloy so they don't bend as easily.
I use pure lead, but most of my spoons are 3" and under. I can understand the thought and concern for something less forgiving in a larger version, but it isn't a factor with these smaller spoons.

How large can you make spoons using this technique? I'm interested in some of the really large magnum spoons like the Nichols Ben Parker 8" spoons, or the Tony Maja magnum spoons in the 5 ounce range. These are for salt-water use.
Like: https://nicholslures.com/products/ben-parker-magnum-spoon?variant=31410851381321
The largest ones I've made were 4" long but those big ones can be done with bigger tubing. They are just copper and brass plumbing tubes cut to length and semi flattened in a vice. I then crush one end completely shut and pour lead in them before crimping the other end. (if that makes sense)

You definitely have your walleye pattern dialed in looks a lot like the walleye I catch in one of my local lakes
Nice work but I don’t think it will produce like your spin dog lure
Thank you! I gotta feeling them spin dawgs are going to set the fishing world on fire!
