Here's the second blank one of my sketches put to shape , the lure is about 4" in length .
This type of "Banana"-lure with its narrower neck portion is still a bit trickier to carve as the previously shown models with equal width of body all over their lengths .
Most finacky is to determine about the symmetry of the belly portion , since it's impossible to eyeball down its length for checking .
Best way is to really care for equal removal of material on either side whilst carving and sanding , always switch sides to do same work operation evenly .
I am still a little concerned , that the diving bill on this one may still be too large , since after my experience a narrow neck portion most likely causes the lure to turn over to swim on its back easier , especially a curved lure like this particular one .
To minor the pressure on the bill , that causes this overturning(together with the body curve) , the lip should be rather small .
But anyway , there is still room for a balance weight in front of the belly eye , that would let the lure more stable .
I am still planning on a similar "Banana" like this one , but less curved and still a little more flat , I just love trying different lure designs
