Fish Farmer Posted October 14, 2011 Report Posted October 14, 2011 Gezz" Roy you gots really good talent . Love the paint jobs .
asdve23rveavwa Posted October 14, 2011 Report Posted October 14, 2011 Those baits are awesome Roy!! Nice work!!
Harrison Posted October 14, 2011 Report Posted October 14, 2011 Amazing work, there is definitely an art to it. Speaking of Art, some of us have seen some of Roy's other Art skills on canvas. I know this is a lure making thread, but I'd love to see some Roy's other Art as well. Its been a while.
Spiel Posted October 14, 2011 Report Posted October 14, 2011 Thanks for all the comments on the flies folks. Here's my first attempt at making my first wood reel seat for a float rod (I know it's not bait/lure making, but it is totally fishing related). It is only in the rough stages at the moment and needs to be refined somewhat but overall I think not bad for a first go at wood turning.
Roy Posted October 14, 2011 Author Report Posted October 14, 2011 Chris! Dat's bootiful! At first I did think it was a tunable duck call though. I'm planning my next Rod order though.
Spiel Posted October 14, 2011 Report Posted October 14, 2011 Chris! Dat's bootiful! At first I did think it was a tunable duck call though. I'm planning my next Rod order though. Hopefully I'll have it perfected at that time Roy. Just to note the front reel foot hood on these type of seats is hidden beneath the cork like this.....
fishnsled Posted October 14, 2011 Report Posted October 14, 2011 Some very impressive work gentlemen.

I have seen some of your rods in person, and the finishing is true artwork in itself.You should post a few pics here, i'm sure others would love to see the detail you put into these rods.

Thanks Paul, appreciate it. Lot's of my rod pictures have floated around the board over the years and a few are available in the "Members Business Directory."
GBW Posted October 15, 2011 Report Posted October 15, 2011 Thanks Paul, appreciate it. Lot's of my rod pictures have floated around the board over the years and a few are available in the "Members Business Directory." I'm still waiting for mine... ; That is some stellar wood with there Chris!
Spiel Posted October 15, 2011 Report Posted October 15, 2011 I'm still waiting for mine... ; That is some stellar wood with there Chris! Just say when Geoff. As for the wood work, I can't take credit for the design, that belongs to a friend of mine.
GBW Posted October 15, 2011 Report Posted October 15, 2011 Just say when Geoff. when, WHEN!!!! LOL! we still need to get out but that will be a PM or email soon...
esoxansteel Posted October 15, 2011 Report Posted October 15, 2011 Dang I thought that by Monday night there would be a lot of different bait makers posting here it could be a great thread lets see what ya all got I would but am not very savvy with the puter, so taking pics of the 10 to 14 inch deep diving musky baits, 8 inch jerk baits etc that I make and uploading them, for all to see is out of my league, hench why I do not post fish pics as well, what is the easiest way to do that and I would love to give it a shot, some are very similar to Roys though, cant go wrong with an oversized wooden Jake, and the jointed Pikie look a likes
mistyriver1 Posted October 15, 2011 Report Posted October 15, 2011 Great thread Roy ! Some beautiful baits you have there. I started making bucktails, bootails and spinnerbaits a few years ago and now I"m on to the flashabou. Have had good luck with them and they are easy to make. That is usually my winter project..here's a few

Spiel Posted October 19, 2011 Report Posted October 19, 2011 Just finished this a few minutes ago, totally fishing related though not a lure.
BillM Posted October 19, 2011 Report Posted October 19, 2011 Chris, did Ernie do the seat on that rod?
Harrison Posted October 19, 2011 Report Posted October 19, 2011 Just finished this a few minutes ago, totally fishing related though not a lure. wow, beautiful. I'd be afraid to use it.
Spiel Posted October 19, 2011 Report Posted October 19, 2011 Chris, did Ernie do the seat on that rod? Good eye Bill, yes Ernie did do the seat, I did the matching butt cap. wow, beautiful. I'd be afraid to use it. Thanks Phil.
GBW Posted October 19, 2011 Report Posted October 19, 2011 I did the matching butt cap. this is just way to easy to take the shot...
Spiel Posted October 19, 2011 Report Posted October 19, 2011 this is just way to easy to take the shot... I said "cap".....
Roy Posted October 19, 2011 Author Report Posted October 19, 2011 Absolutely gorgeous, Chris. I'd have trouble getting around the heart tremours and palpitations slapping that thing down in a Down Easter.
