      This is the internal wire harness and rattle. I put an aluminum disc on the sides of the rattle chamber to make it louder, it's loud. I'll add lead to the bigger holes below.

        This gives a little size comparison to the others I did. It's quite a bit bigger. I'm looking for a dive depth of about 1-2'.

          Here it is with the lip and sanded. I'll get it finished this week end.

            You’re a craftsman Kevin! I think if I lost one in the water, I’d go swimming for it.

              I got the big crank bait painted today. I went with a redfish pattern on this one.

                  I carved this out of balsa with a load rattle inside. I'll see if they'll eat their own. LOL

                    I took it to the pond and got it tuned and running straight. It has a nice wide wobble and the rattle can be heard as it moving. I can hold my rod high and wake it, it has a hard float but I think I can probably get it down to about 3 feet. Turned out like I hoped. It’s a big fat crank bait for sure.

                        Thanks. I'm used to losing them, it does hurt though.

                          Threw the big crank bait at some reds yesterday, they wanted to play volleyball with it instead of biting it. Had a few knock it in the air but didn't stick. Maybe next time.

                              I really like your crank baits. I am doing plastics too.

                                Pretty cool, reds would love those frogs. I catch more bass on the ribbon tail worms than any other lure I make. Nice work.
