...these are completely hand made from sart to finish. Since they are hand done, no two are identicle. They are made from balsa wood,any/all of the bucktails are real squirel tail, not synthetic.
Best of all...thay produce fish.These are all Sold

...when I make up another batch, I'll post 'em.

    Very Nice Bloviator......please let me know if the next batch would be for sale. I can never have too many bass lures! Thanks for sharing the pics!

    yota, when I get some more finished, I'll post 'em....and yes they will be for sale also. Love to make 'em...and the side benifit, is that they produce! The pics don't do them justice really. Only primo hooks are used, same with split rings...all hardware is the best available. All screws are put in with real epoxy. The way I finish them, I turn soft balsa wood, into a super tuff wood, each has a special base coat (MANY coats) then LOTS of finish paint coats, the a slew of clear (gloss ot matt) coats. Each bait has at least, 20+ coats, probably closer to 30, of some kind of paint/clear.


    I'll get a couple of the guys around here to post/attest to their quality. May be a while before I tackle anymore [:D] May geta lathe and do mostly "chugger" and "lucky 13" body styles...as the hand carving really takes a lot of time, thanks for the compliment yota. Been making my own, and fishing my own for many years...and they do work! Even though I bulk up the balsa, only hardwood will hold up to the teeth on muskie or pike, but these will take a beating from a LOT of bass, no worse for the encounter...just some minor scratches...thanks again...[;)]

    Mommas boy,
    Are you really going to get them pretty lures wet by putting em in the water ??????
    The ones I got from him (the 4 on the bottom) are to nice to do that to, so I'm just going to look at em inside the house where it's not so wet...[:D]
    I don't have time to put em in the water anyway, cause I'm to busy carving on wood, and making it shiney like this...

    damn mrbruce looks like you have some talent also. do you sell the stocks or just for yourself. very nice. you guys that have talent are something else. i can barely walk and chew gum at the same time. the only thing i can do very good is shoot with either hand and fish. sometimes i am wondering about my fishing. it will be hard to send one of those pretty lures into the waters of tablerock lake. maybe BLOVIATOR will give us a replacement if we loose one. for free of course. he he he. nice stock

    Mommasboy,
    Thanks for the complement, but I did that one for myself. About the only time I can be talked into doing one for someone else is if it 's going to be for a XP-100 rear grip.
    Those I absolutely love to work on, and would do one for about any one that asked as long as it was during the winters up here. Summer time is going to be taken up with fishing, and killing groundhogs with the 6br that will set in that Blue rifle stock..
    Here's a rear grip blue laminate for a XP-100.....before n after....

    hey mrbruce those are nice. i have a savage model 510 striker in 223 which is simular to the xp100. i got that thing and have never shot it or even put glass on it. what kind of scope is that on yours. i probably could not afford it. i am just a poor boy down here in missouri. BLOVIATOR is the guy that has the long green. maybe he would load me the money. what say BLOVIATOR?

    hey BLOVIATOR janet sure loves the special lure that you made for her. she is trying to find a shadow box for it and the certificate. you can bet that one will never hit the water.
