Impressive work. You working for Rapala over there?

[Piatu]

Only in my own company and mostly bare hands.Only crankbait body is buyed, all others i have maked by myself.

Usually i make appx 95% of my lures with fishskins, but in couple of months i have got abnormal much of foiled/painted lureorders from companies.

[bassnbucks]

I have been trying a few new things while not bowhunting. I already can't wait for next spring.

[Nhamm]

Piatu those foil works are unbelievable. Man those look spectacular. Don't know much about lure making, but a lil on what fish want, and tell you I want those lures on the end of my line!!

Hi,

This post is incredible work. All of you.

I was wondering in regards to the crankbaits, does one need to pay the retail price or is there a way to get them discounted, due to the number some of you do?

Is your first color white?

Cool stuff!

Thanks
