Puuurdy!

I had to look at that white crappie a second time to realize that the pectoral if was painted on and not a true appendage. And that citrus shad looks like he's looking for a fight.

unchained186, I used 1/16" lexan sheet for the bills.

unchained186 · September 21, 2011, 07:05:18 PM

Where do you buy that lexan I'm clueless on this

Fishwhittler · September 21, 2011, 08:32:44 PM

I get mine from usplastics.com.

talented what were the lips made of?

woodnut · October 15, 2011, 06:53:53 AM

although I have a wood lathe and can turn some nice shapes for topwater, I can't come close to the finish you do. I hope to learn how to achieve a finish like that. Great job.

The lips are made of 1/16" lexan from US Plastics. I trace the lip outline on the lexan, use metal shears to rough-cut the bill, and grind it to final shape using a dremel tool.

Woodnut, if you want better finishes on your lures, this tutorial will help: Trying to Achieve a Flawless Finish. The guy that wrote that builds muskie lures, and the finishes on his lures are amazing.

I hope this helps.
