Did these last week.  .37 oz with short shank #4 treble hooks.  Loosely based on a RC 1.5.

Those are gorgeous!  I really like the middle one. 8-)

Those look great! I love the body style 

What is the paulownia wood like? Is it closer to balsa or basswood?  Just curious.

Great stuff, Bob!  Love the recessed eyes...very clean. 

And firetiger!!! 

Bob, you are one of the masters and I always enjoy looking at your work.   Those 3 are top of line.

Beautiful work!!

those baits look awesome. great job!

Thanks for the comments!

Danderson, paulownia is a species introduced from the orient that now grows wild and on tree farms in the U.S. It is a hardwood but is light weight. A standard density chart lists it as 16 lbs/cu ft, compared to 12 for balsa and 23 lbs/cu ft for basswood. I like it because it makes a lively bait and is easy to build with because it's hard enough not to require through-wire techniques.

I wouldn't mind picking up some of those. You thinking about selling some of those little beauties?

Those are gorgeous! I really like the middle one. 8-)

Agreed.  That middle one is just fantastic.

Very sweet work. I like all 3 of them.

Very cool...!

Bob, your baits always look top notch.

We live to close to each other, when you gonna invite me to your shop so I can spend some money that I don't have.

Shop!?  If you mean that workbench piled with fishing stuff in the garage, come ahead!  I do baits with hand tools (mostly a Dremel) sitting in a lawn chair!  That's why it's a hobby, not a business.  I religiously avoid business ;D

my favorite is the first one

they all look great though!
