Lucky Craft style

Featured Replies

Here's one of my newest baits.  I styled the body after the Lucky Craft RC and BDS series crankbaits.  PVC, coffin bill, 1/2 ounce, 3" long not counting the bill, dives down to about 3-6'.  I used 1/8" thick lexan for the lip instead of the 1/16" lexan I normally use.  The thicker material is harder to cut with metal shears, but I found it easier to install the line tie straight in the thicker bill.  It was also easier to control my dremel tool while I was sanding the bill to it's final shape, because it cuts through the thicker lexan slower.

I used Seal-Coat Lure & Jig finish for topcoat.  The finish is pretty nice, although I think it would work best on plastic lures or baits with carved details.  It's a little on the thin side for my taste, but only the fish will be able to tell me how strong it really is. :)

Let me know what you think.

WOW!!!!

Very nice FW! That'll catch em.

Nice paint job, but I really like the lure it's on.  :)

Way to go!  Really nice.

I made a few of those a couple of weeks ago. They wiggle like crazy with that tow eye position.

Looking good Fishwhittler.

Ben, that bait looks great.   One of my fav color patterns.

Nice looking bait Ben and like Marty, it is also one of my favorite patterns, clean and  simple.
