A few homemade baits.

[Facepunch]

Here are a few baits that I have carved. I mainly carve rats for people, but the green crank is a bait I made for my wife, and the small glider at the bottom is one that I started tonight.

Took the time to paint the lunker punker clone tonight. Not bad for a rattle can job.

nice job! 

[Facepunch]

Thanks, lots if work goes into them. I probably went through 10 rats before I got the swim perfect and repeatable.

[LgMouthGambler]

Wow. Those are soo nice, I almost want to buy one to put on the shelf to display the beuty in the art.

Here is a big dead twitch/wake bait that is in works. It'll be 11" long and about 8-9oz when finished.

Man that is massive!!

[Ben Ott]

Looks pretty sharp. Where do you get your balsa? Any where special?

[Facepunch]

It's basswood. (Fitting lol) I get it at michaels and then whittle with a box cutter and an exacto knife.

[BassmanRudy]

Wow those look good!! Never thought to try basswood. Have whittled a bit w balsa and some cedar- will have to try this!!

Here is my latest rat, and the s-waver/glider after paint. I did it in flat black for night fishing.

Thanks, the rat building continues. One of my buddies stuck a double digit fish on one this morning in AZ. I can't wait to get pics of it.

[LgMouthGambler]

That is soo cool looking!

[BassVixen]

Great work!

[Facepunch]

Right now I'm only building a couple here and there for close friends and family. If I start selling them in the future I will let you know.
