Some hand made customs

A buddy and an occasional fishing partner dropped by the shop a while back and presented me with a few of his handmade minnow baits. These are patterned after a Grandma but they are made of wood. All the cutting, sanding and painting he does by hand. These are built with .092 screw eyes, lexan lips, 3-d eyes and e-tex coated. He even included his own custom hand poured tails. They have an action very similar to a grandma except they dive a little deeper and have a little slower rise. He did a very fine job on these three, as he does on all the baits he makes. I appreciate his gift and I hope to get them chewed up come spring time.
The colors are little musky, shad and bluegill.

  1. These baits (I have a few) have a wild wide kick. Therefore you donot need to yank and crank so much. Fish DO chase these buggars. They are well made.
