Perch & Walleye

A couple Widetails and some Dawgs I did recently for a friend.

Causalities

A few causalities from last week.
This is the way I like to bring baits home from a trip.
Pike and muskies are very hard on soft plastic baits but at times are about the only bait that interests them.
You can see the missing and or torn tails in this photo but each one of these bodies has multiple cuts, slices and bite marks too.
These 4 baits were responsible for many, many pike and a musky or two.

Birds of the Far North

A few pics of some of the birds we saw from our recent trip to Canada

Testing 2 New Shad Sizes

I am doing some testing of a couple new size shad bodies....one is 12" and the other is 15".

These in this photo have a couple different rigging options and are going to be tested later this week

Hopefully at least one of these versions will prove worth while.

Size Comparison

Here's a pic of the new shad bodies
15 " (top) and 12" next to a Big Boy for size comparison.

Baits

Just some recent stuff.

Not Your Average Big Boy

Here's a pic of my friend Erik.....with his newest tattoo.
It's a Big Boy swimbait in the now famous Dr. Carp color.........oh by the way, it's done in life size too !!!
Looks very nice...
Thank's for sharing the photo.

Before & After

A few 10" Swim'n Joe I did for a friend.
The Firetiger became the Sherbert,
the Sucker became a Brown Trout,
the Crawfish is now Dr. Carp,
the Tennessee Shad, Old Pike and Hot Pike all started life as Night Shiner

Many Different Things

Here is some pics of some mag sized Dawgs, a few Widetail swimbaits, some Ribbontail swimbaits, several Ribbontail Chatterbaits, some fast sinking and slow sinking Big Boys and 8" Paddletails, a couple sizes of shad bodies and many different tails, some with molded in hooks and some without. Some of these tail will fit commercially made baits and some are totally unique and can be used on many different types of baits.
