New Ones For Next Year

[Dorkfish]

Where's the eye hook?? Lol

[Neighbor_guy]

It was put in right after pictures. I waited until right before the final coat of varnish because I was using wood filler for the cap on the lead cavity and wanted to be sure it was water proofed good prior to balance and swim.

A few new ones. The big muskie is 20" lol. It looks awesome and it was reallya fun to make, it even swims nice! (for a giant piece of pine with a bunch of lead in it anyway) it will be interesting to see if it brings in any fish or just scares everything away... Anyone else ever try something like this?

New work guys!

Here's another spear I forged today just need to do some cleaning and paint flat black.

PGF, Dennis Burtrum makes decoys bigger than 20 inches and use's them with success. good luck with yours and very nice too.

[PGF]

That's encouraging! I have one cut out that's about 30", but i want sure if i would go through with making it after i finished this one. I can't wait to try it out, it'll be a good reference as I'll know what a 20" fish is for sure now. The 30 would be pretty handy too!

That big decoy will bring them in pgf. That's really cool

[jasonmichalski]

The two spears I've been working on are finally ready to head out the door!! Now I have to forge three more for customers, lol!

[jasonmichalski]

This time with the picture, lol!!

[Neighbor_guy]

More fun with bright pink I hand painted this one so it has some of that brushed paint imperfection to it.

[Neighbor_guy]

and this one was a little bit dorkfish inspired, that day glow yellow paint he likes to use, I didn't want to completely copy and use the orange over the top of the yellow, so I went with the bright green instead.

[jasonmichalski]

nice work I love the herring bone pattern

[PGF]

Looking good!

another Koi pond escapee... This is becoming my favorite shape to work with, I even did the leather wiskers on this one. I cant wait to see what they it looks like under the ice.

[jkranz36]

As soon as my wife gets home and I'm done with daycare duty, I will be hitting the ice to try my new decoys finally!

[Neighbor_guy]

I really like that brown/yellow perch!!! The gold sucker is sweet too. Nicely done!!

[Betterlabs]

This is my main go to decoy I carved for myself and customers!

[Neighbor_guy]

Just finished up the last ones until after the new year. Nothing over the top, just decoys I thought might work, here are a couple of highlights...

No matching the hatch with this bunch. Just bright colors
