Here are my buzz shad. The overall length of the bait is 6" from line tie to rear hook. Hand carved wood blank was used to make the mold. There are resin bodies with a delta prop blade.

Very nice! And a nice story to go along with it

Yeah, and a lot cheaper!

Thanks guys. Have not had it on the water yet fishratz, most of the water is solid here in Ohio :-)

very, very nice!

thanks guys
-
thanks! i will give it a try

what color did you use on the back and the stripes? i like it!

this is my balsa pigtail frog. you are right this frog lunges forward and the wood part of the legs make the baits "spit" giving it a little more attracting action. this is my first one i have made out of balsa. i normally make them out of cedar. i had to put a balast weight in the balsa frog to keep it from rolling. thanks for the comps

here is my try at the famous pumpkinseed.

here is my first decoy. 5" long made of basswood. its weighted also. had fun carving and making this! now if only spear fishing was legal in ohio

i use foil tape. i use the tape they sell at wal mart because it is thiner and dont have as much adhesive making it easier to smooth out.

Thanks mark,I dont know how it swims yet. all the water here in ohio is solid! i just finished molding and making a pop mold 4 days ago. no reinforcement in the legs. i did think of that because were the legs meet the body it is fairly thin. i did not want to make it to thick because it would more than likely kill the swimming action. this is the first soft pastic frog i have made. had fun doing it! can't wait to get out and see how it swims.

I like the idea of a mermaid frog? It is very original, and I'm sure it will catch you fish.
thanks for the compliments. i started making this lure in 2005. i have made many changes to this bait to get it to what it looks like now. i have caught many 5+ lb. bass on these. the black one being my favorite. i call it the pigtail frog.
