Season Greetings - **UPDATE COLOR TRANSITION**

[Leecher]

Hope you guys and girls had a good Christmas and that Santa was good to you. For me was all about my family, good company, good food and a few drinks

 

Did manage to hit the hard stuff on the 24th in the afternoon for a couple of hours but did not get sniff Had a good time and felt great to be back at it Weather wise is not the greatest up here so I kind of refrain from going fishing..... but later in the week will certainly give it a go

 

Had a lot of rain and freezing rain coming down on boxing day so decided to remain in doors and tackle another wooden project.... this time wanted to make crank baits similar to BigO's, but not the same I did last summer..... wanted to make it a copy cat of the original..... well I came close.... here's the results:

 

 

 

Now needs a coat of color and they are good to go!!!

Will keep you posted on the development

Hope you enjoy!

crankbaits are hardest to make because the lip has to be cut to get the right action

Thanks ColdH20guy!!! To do this right, you need the proper tools to under take such project (i.e. bandsaw, press drill, jobmate with dremmal etc...) otherwise you ain't going to achieve the results that you had anticipated.... also, time and patience is another factor and that's about all is required.
