Very nice baits. Did you make these? If so BigM has some competition!

Yeah, these are all mine. As long as the bass bite, that is all that matters.

Those are very nice, I remember seeing some of those pics on TU.

Ernel is a very good bait builder but he's not my competition.  He is a fellow custom bait maker that I consider a friend.  There are a bunch of guys across the country that make outstanding crank baits.   We are all trying to make baits of the highest quality and that catch fish.

Thanks Marty. Very well said. The bass are the competition. That is what I was trying to state in my post. All the rest of what lure builders do is part of the maddness.   ;D

liking those cranks ernel, keep up the good work

Thanks.
