FishHeadRic Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Man, It's been a cold winter this year eh? Haven't been able to get out on the water too much so I've been keeping busy in the Man-cave re-building the lure stocks. Doing mostly poppers so far but I decided to give a frog a try as well and I think I got it down pretty good. Gotta get some better shots of this one. Gave it away and only got to snap a few pics the other day when I went to my buddys house. Going over there tommorow so l'll try to get some better shots. Here's some pics of one of the other ones I did. These pics came out a lot better. Close up of the eye. Good ole laundry bag scale pattern. This one came out great. Swims and Pops like a champ! And the latest one I did was a Fresh water Bass lure. Inspiration for one of the other Canucks on one of the boards I've been posting on down here, Etch-a-sketch. Do any of you guys know who he is or have any of his lures? Leopard Frog with spinners for feet. Snag, l've got a few more in the works with your name on 'em. Just a few more weeks. Enjoy !!!

medmart Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Great job man love the colors on the poppers Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greencoachdog Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Excellent craftmanship Ric!!! Those lures a very purdy, and I'm sure the fish will love them! I enjoy lurecraft as well, it gets the creative juices flowing!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Excellent job Ric, that's pretty impressive work !! They appear to have a thru-wire set-up, so how did you attach the belly hook hanger ?? Is it all one piece of wire, and if so, I'm assuming you cut the lure in 1/2 and bent the wire down thru the bottom then glued the pieces back together ?? If it's a trade secret, I'll understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishHeadRic Posted February 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Hey Guys, thanks for all the complimnts. Outlaw, if l'm not mistaken Etch is from Brampton. If any of you guys ever get a chance to see or aquire one of his lures l highly suggest it. He does some amazing stuff. Lew, they are all thru-wired. The hook hangers are actually 180lb sporo swivels. I'm drilling the hole and passing the swivel thru one of the ends. It's a nice and neat set up with a belly grommit to finish it off.
