    copper roach

    this is pretty much same roach patter than i did some time ago only thing different with this is that it has a copper foil on it and a swimming lip
  2. hey guys made these 2 baits last weekend kind of an experiment to see if the top water lure i designed some time ago works as a trolling bait and it seems like it does. these are made from mother of pearl veneers, the one on the front is the normal white one and the one in the back is called gold MOP

    Firetiger swimbait

    so i did little bit weight experiment on my 19 cm swimbaits i've done recently and figured that hey a firetiger pattern would look cool so here it is.
  4. they are 7.8 inces long with internal weigh system inside
  5. yeah i think i would not be sharing these techniques ether if i was doing this as a job, not because i don't want people to steal my tricks or ideas but simply i would not have the time for that or any interested after a long day of working and making lures, one tends to want to think of and do something completely different after there work or atleast i do
  6. oomoo will work but its rather flexible and i dont use it my self anymore, i use now a days mold max 30 its more rigid and tear point is much higher thus it will last you heaps longer.
  7. when ever i do a swimbait mold i make a 2 piece mold, its by far the best method i've found in making casts of swimbait segments ( and other baits too naturally). youtube if full of great tutorials in how to make one so i wont go into details with all the steps
  8. well basically i went and added a curly tail to a previous model that i made with a paddle tail but i must say i really like these and the action that tail gives is so nice. still got to add some eyes on these.
  9. it does give every lure a very unique look that's for sure I'd definitely recommend to give it a go, if you can find a place to buy it. i got mine from ebay
  10. yep like dieter already mention we have been using those curved " saddle lips" for quite a long time here, i believe the first ones were made in the 80ties. the action that give is deadly especially for zander and lake trout but naturally other species do hit those lures. btw and easy way to make a saddle lip yourself is to use a bottle neck as jig, heat up the plastic material and press it against the bottles neck and wait until it cools down. most of the lips over here are done from a softer plastic called propionate (im sure many of you know of it) in molds to insure the consistency. -Mikko
  11. so i decided to make some abalone top water lures once more, not much to say about these I'll let the pic do the talking
  12. hey guys here is yet another video from me, this time around im playing around with real shell veneers, check it out
  13. i love this korean awabi shell vaneer so i though hey i bet it would look pretty awesome on a topwater lure too.
  14. figured i'd try some silver leafing on my baits, you really have to be careful with this stuff its super thing but brings out the details quite nicely

    Rutilus rutilus

    the difference is pretty marginal to be honest so there isn't a huge difference

    Rutilus rutilus

    hey guys figured that since i know hat pike love to much on roach i'd should make a model that looks as close as to a roach as i with my skills possible. hmm i think next i will experiment with some foil to give it some extra flash

    green tree python

    so yeah i tried to imitate a green/ blue tree python here it ended up looking pretty cool i think.

    white sucker

    made this one for a lure swap with TU user ddl hope you like it buddy and hope the muskies and pikes overthere in canada will munch on this thing.
  24. So i've been trying to figure out new ideas and this snake idea just spring to my mind, though it would be a nice challenge and of course fishing with such a thing might be fun on those dull days when fish are not hitting anything else. if you guys want to see more pics of them head over to my blog http://solarfallbaits.blogspot.fi/2012/12/adder-topwater-time.html
