First handmade baits...
These baits are my first attempts at making hand made baits.
They are both made from balsa. I made the dbait replica (bait4.jpg) first and was astonished how well it turned out and how it runs in the water.
The second bait is a design of my own.
Both baits run straight and both have a action of there own.

First baits
If those are your first, your going to have a heck
of time getting any better. You have a natural talent.

Thanks for the complements guys, I have worked with wood but I have never made a bait until now.
I am very happy with the results. There is still a lot that I have to learn though. I am working on a few more baits right now and trying a few things different.
I was afraid that I added too much weight to the second bait (1/4 oz). It still floats but I am going to try a little less weight on the next one. It has a tighter wiggle than the flat side. The flat side has a good wobble and a small amount of side to side roll. Another thing I still need to work with is lip placement and making deeper diving baits. These two baits are running about 3? with 15 lbs mono. I would like to make some that go to at least 6 ? 8?.
Coley, Skeeter,
The flat side was my first bait and the potbelly was the second.
There is still plenty of room for improvement? so I will probably want to talk to you guys.
Thanks,
Bobby

I agree with Coley and Skeeter
That is nice looking bait. It doesn?t look like that is your first it looks like your one hundred and first. 
Nice Job
