Ok after 24 hours in the tumbler… We finally have heads… We need to grade them now.

Some are first run gems… Others are good seconds that with a little work will be gems themselves. Then we have just plain seconds that look pretty good but not quite top shelf. They go to ebay… Then we have the thirds… Boy are these ugly but I have a lot of guys lining up to get them. I flush em out cheap and they still work great. Some including myself think that they may work better than finished product because their rough finish grabs more air for smoke and creates more turbulence…
Then we have the rejects. All the way bad. They get saved up and get the hammer to recycle their very pricey insert spacers…

Now we have a good head in hand… We need to precisely measure and cut a hand painted top shelf vinyl skirt.

Now we slide the skirt over the neck and slide up to the head sealing in place with a couple drops of super glue…

Some of my customers want neck tape so we add a strip of varying designs and width depending on what the shop wants…

Then some get just raw lures to display. Some want packaging. It can be with our name., their name, backed or unbacked, punched to specific size pegs or hanging hooks… We can even rig on request…

So that's how just the econo series lures are created… One day I may walk you through a custom bait or two…
