So my friend Joe has been working on making these lures, and I have to say that I am very impressed with the results.  Here's some of his work.

Sporty spook, 5 1/4" and just over 2 oz.  They walk great!

Jointed swimmers, 7" and 2 1/2 oz.  You should see these in the water.

he makes these topwater swimmers in a few different sizes, they creat an awesome wake.

He also does custom work.  He made this for me to give to Gidget and he's working on a "Snoopy" Sporty Spook for me as well.

Very nice. I particularly like the baby trout lure. Is is a rainbow trout? I like the green with darker green  stripes. Baby bass? Very nice work.

They are impressive looking.

I think a Joe Cool bait would be awesome.

I love to see the work of the Striper guys.   good looking baits.

I like em all and especially the trout pattern.

Looks like someone is ready to go for some stripers and peacocks..... :    

Great looking baits.
