New batch of cranks

These are the biggest and smallest cranks I make. The big one is 3 1/2" long not counting the bill.

Thanks for looking.

I really like that blk/blue bait.

I really like that blk/blue bait.

+1 - - looks like a very cool little design. 

I really like that perch pattern.

I really like your backgrounds! Is the blue background an air filter?

Thanks guys.

Yea, thats two air filters stacked on each other.

Funny thing, I went out to test some cranks action at a pond down the road (I was just testing the action not fishing as the I didn't make the lures for myself), and as I was testing the blue one above I noticed that it kept veering to my right as it came in, so I pulled it out of the water and adjusted the line tie. I did this several times and finally got it running straight, but as I'm pulling it in I feel a jerk and sure enough I've got a bass. I don't think the guy that gets the lure will mind to much though. ;D

As for the rest of these lures, I didn't take the two middle ones, The top one is a complete failure( ) and the bottom one needs some work, but I think can salvage it.

Thats a shame, I love the paint job.

+1....I like how you come up with interesting settings for your shots.  I never would have thought of an air filter - - it compliments that bait perfectly.   8-)

Ben, the new baits are looking good.

I think on the baits that did not run good, line ties needs to be closer to the lip.   Your line ties are extremely high above the lip and that may be a cause of your problems.

I really like the design of the bottom one.  I only throw shad, and hitch colored lures, as I think most bright colors don't work.  I throw some un-naturals, like sexy shad, but very rare.  I think shad, splatter back, and hitch are the best producers for big bass, at least in my own experience.  But everyone has a preference. 

I like the way you made your baits, though I agree with Marty, that your line ties are much too high...  If you dropped them to half the height, you would get the action you look for. 

I never thought about the line tie being to high. I will definitely try that and see what happens. Thanks!

Well I lowered the line tie on the lures that were running wrong and now they work great. Thanks for the tip!
