I'm posting pictures of a new crank bait I am working on. Hope to have prototype ready for Saturday.

These are Balsa wood and all handmade. The picture with 3 items is the 2 sides and the cardboard template. I cut the out with an razor knife, glue them up, rattle camber, and counter weight.Crank bait templatesSanded

Thanks guy's, I know it looks like a typical bait but when I am finished with it...it'll knock your socks off.

If there are styles or any ideas let me know, I can fabricate just about any type of crank bait, jerk bait or top water.

Not really a lot cheaper to do just a couple, not making 10-20 is a different story.

But it is a lot of fun. If you want to get started painting, you can get a airbrush compressor for $40.00 and a airbrush gun for $20.00 at Harbor Freight Tool. I use model car paint because of the pearls and bright colors.

If I can help you let me know.

Got side tracked on putting finish on them, but have made more blanks. I should have them done next week.

Take about 45 minutes from start to finish for a blank.

First of all...I was not wearing jorts, nor did I need a hair cut that day....perhaps you should pay more attention to fishing instead of the way you look.... Zeet, you are starting to display the classic symtoms of a water head.. you know, water build up between your brain and your skull..http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=waterhead. Maybe Stinkdaddy needs to FIZ your brain... to much pressure.......besides,Jorts are the only material strong enough to hold all you and Stinks money.......hehehe...
