Good work Jacques,

 

To try it out remove the treble and go to visit somebody that has a pool.

 

 

on your next prototype you might want to bring the treble ahead to the bump on the under side and find a way to put a single hook on the back end as a trailer hook.

Thanks Dan!!! That is a good advice for trying it in a pool :thumbsup_anim:

and for the hooks, well just want to try it this way for now but I'll keep this suggestion on the back burner for future one depending on the results.

Thanks again everyone!!!

Nice job on The Little Woody Jacques!

 

Here's mine, it's 14 inches long and has an incredible action.

 

I call it THE BIG BONER.

Something that long should have tail planes to keep it level.

Thanks Mike!!! The big Boner of yours looks pretty good B) Have you landed any fishes with it??

 

Today just made a couple more with a slight variation of colors on the dots..... still have to give it another coat of varnish and then will be posting the pics.

 

Thanks again everyone!!!

That's awesome Jacques! Hope you don't mind but I'm going to totally rip off your idea and give my own lures a go!

Keep us posted as per your results!

It's OK, I don't mind and totally understand LOL :Gonefishing::canadian:

Just finished a couple more and made one a little bigger. Ran out of red and black stickers so used blue instead :wallbash: Also positioned the eyes a little higher on the head!!! Here's a couple of pics

Please do Jocko.... would like to see it.

 

Well I'd have to dig it out of a box and get a picture of it. But I just might do that.

 

People tie their own flies, so I'm surprised we don't hear of more people who put their woodworking and artistic skills to use skills to use and create their own lures.

 

Did you catch this thread a while back?... It involves painting of an already-manufactured lure but I still thought it was neat! ...

Ok. Now we need to see something. Either a vid to see it moving in the water or a pic of a fish with it in its mouth.

 

Ok Cudz, I promise to have pics and a video (if weather permits) of it in the water this weekend.... only 3 Dodo's to go LOL
