Pike minnow

Featured Replies

Actually it's a pike/bluegill hybrid. ;) I used U-40 Permagloss for topcoat on this bait. 

That looks pretty much amazing  ;)

Great looking bait. Nice work

what bait (or blank) is that?

Thanks guys.

Dave, that's a blank from bustinbassbaits.com. It swims pretty well. I've also tried their #4 and #10 lure blanks: the #4 sinks and can be adjusted to swim well.  The #10 blank, however, is a completely different story (I believe it's a knockoff of the Lucky Craft Bevy Shad).  Every single one of the #10 lure blanks I got is lopsided. I tried heating a couple of them and reshaping them by hand, but that didn't work. I've also tried sanding one of them till it's pretty round and then coating it with epoxy, and I've ended up with a more or less symmetrical bait. I've yet to test it to see if it works, but even if it does work there are many better blanks out there that will work without so much tuning.

Anyway, the #4 and #10 blanks and the pike minnow are the only ones I've tried from them, and having two out of three different blanks work isn't bad. I'll probably be trying more of their blanks in the future. Their #9 bait in particular looks very interesting.
