Seems like it took forever to get this far. Smaller lures are much easier... It wasn't until the skirts were all the up before I saw " The bulge". A couple more minor tweaks and it's time to get wet!!!
The next batch is gonna be even better!

Tell eme about the head on that lure. The slots as they look are different. CXan you maybe take some different angled pics. Thanks. Great job.
Looking good, looking forward to some reports of them in action. Give them hell.![]()
This is the top of the lure. I'm running 2 small jets on bottom to the sides and a larger one centered off the top.
This blue one has 2 very loud rattles and no added weight.
I'm working on recessing the vent tubes 1/4 - 1/3 of an inch inside the edge and making the openning of the vents bigger to force more water thru. Also may make all three vents a tad bigger.
I'm working on 1 slant(med size) and a large wahoo bullet(7-9 oz) for the spring time, as soon as I get this first on ready. After them I'll try and get a little more creative.
These pics. really don't come out on here. I need to get a tripod and decent lighting.. Have a great night and if anyone sees anything that I can do to improve the looks let me know. I'll have to wait until she's drug around a bit before I can tell what to modify as far as shaping and cutting cup on head
Cool very cool. Those jets are to create bubbles to inflate your skirt and give it a more 3 dimentional view?
I actually made them for 2 reasons. First is to try and mimick the vibration of a swimming or fleeing fish. The large top vent replicates top fin and tail and the 2 bottom vents for the side fins. Skirts should diffuse the smoke trail a bit. The second thing is to help stabilize the lure and help it track better. The weight system we use (when used) is molded with the center brass tube. The lead mold is flaired a bit at the bottom to act as a keel.
