Lets see one thats so close to a bagleys honey-b that you can't tell the difference!

To what purpose? You want to learn how to make one, can't find anymore, or want to buy a dozen?

I certainly can't speak for John, Marty, or the others, but I personally enjoy the art of luremaking, copying baits is certainly not easy, and is rewarding in it's own right, but it's not art, either

To copy a bait is pretty easy, if you have the bait is just a matter of putting on a copy machine to get the exact profile of the bait.  Take a few measurements of the body and bill, then get the weight.  cut out the blank, carve, sand and paint.  It is just that simple.

Now design your own bait from top to bottom, get the lip angle and action just where you want it, that is the real deal about lure making.  

Now if you want a bait that is better made than Bagleys with a similar action to a

Honey B, that's a bait I can build.
