Here is the rest of the baits from this weekend.   Now if I can only find some time to enjoy my work.

i like the shape of the first two a lot

You make me drool over the first few cranks, then do it again with these! Darn you! 

Great work!!...I notice that you put a dot very low on the bait compared to other "manufactured" baits. Is there a special reason for this or just personal preference?

Just personal preference I guess.   The idea is for the bass to key in on the bait around the front hook.    The truth is it's probably more window dressing than functional.

They look outstanding Marty

Big M - you've got em nailed down!  I like the simple clean look you do. And the finish is top notch  too.  Thanks for sharing the pics.  Gives me something to strive for as I start out makin cranks.

Marty, I like the 2'nd. pic bait, is that off a particular design bait? thats nice 

Nice baits Big M!  I like the two green/yellow ones. 8-)

very nice as always......they just plain catch fish

Thanks guys

Skillet, both baits in the first two pics are the same body style.   Bait 1 has a soft wobble and bait 2 has an aggressive rod shaking wobble. 

I like the sound of bait #2  ;D

Bait #2 has that funky zig/zag swimming pattern.   Gets real crazy banging around in rocks.

That sounds like a hunting action. The lure wiggles as normal, but swims in a zig-zag pattern. Looking at your bait style, I would imagine you get a lot of those. Can you build that action in every time, or is it accident?

Some say hunting makes no difference. I happen to think that change of direction catches fish.

I have a couple of body styles that will have the hunting action every time.   I have not figured out how to control how much zig/zag each bait has.
