Jointed "shallow pal" in jailbird.


Regular "shallow pal" in perch


A new 22" jointed "battle cruiser" in rainbow trout. Not happy with this one. More fine tuning needed.

Fish might like it tho!

What size hooks do ya put on them Hutchy?

The top ones get 6/0, and the bottom gets 10/0

In all honesty, the fish won't care lol

They're nice looking, good work !

I like that bumble bee one!

Those are nice.
You ever try trolling a weighted sardine can lid?
Caught the odd pike on those.

I haven't, but I've seen guys catch pike on literal rocks on videos

I tried to make some smaller lures, like say number 5, 7 or 9 size stick baits. I just could never get them to track true. They sure looked like they were balanced but that was not the way they worked. I did catch one bass on one.
Nice work. I like the paintng you have where there are not definitive or straight lines between the colors. There are not many definitive or straight lines in the natural world.

Really cool, I've been messing with tackle lately, about time to crappie fish here.

I have caught Pike on my rock lure to win a bet with my son. You do beautiful work on those lures. Great paint jobs!

You made the whole thing?? or bought made up blanks? if so where? They do look nice, great job, I like them.....jk

All hand carved and assembled. I cut the lips, and bend the through wires, epoxy, sand, paint and then two or three layers of epoxy that gets torched as it cures on a lure spinner

Thanks.

Send me that rock and I'll paint it up lol

Thanks man. Its a classic musky pattern called "jailbird"..

My first time trying it

On the bottom lure bring the pink out a bit more, red stripe along the top of the pink line, then violet along the body to that dark spine.
It will kill in waters with whitefish.
I’d also use the same noted pattern and add a bright silver to the belly, early and late season lakers that are up shallower will inhale it.

Funny how nobody has asked to come and test them under your supervision there Hutchy....
waiting for the boarding pass,,,that would be me

Can you show some of last years models and their battle scars.

A 22" rainbow trout lure...I'm happy if I catch a real RT half that size!

I do too
