I found a little warmth in the cave and was able to knock out another small batch of cranks.   The bluegills are much lighter in hand, the pics are bad.

Ah I see chocolate shad! 

Looks sharp!

I like the burnt yellow pattern on top - very nice!

Very nice! 8-)

Very nice looking baits Marty. Its hard for me to decide between the top pics of each group. Very nice work.

Nice work Marty!

I still need to get you to make a batch for me sometime.

As always marty, amazing work!  Those bluegill are growing on me every second...    The burnt orange one in the top is my favorite, this batch! 

Thanks guys,   I was shooting for a twisted hot mustard on the top bait.   I think light chocolate brown scales would have looked better than the redish brown.   

nice nice

lookin good

very cool like usual 8-)

Like them all Marty, can't pick a favorite.

Really looking forward to seeing your new cold water baits. Do these bore a hole in the ice and cut their own line path too?

The water doesn't get that cold down here.   Sounds like I need to start work on a new project for you John.
