Here are a few I just finished. The bottom bait is "woops"y shad after dark.

not bad, how do they run? did you have to put a ballast weight in them? What are you using for the bills?

Hand carved and sanded. these baits have nice tight wiggle and run 4-6 feet depending on line size and is a very good cold water crank. There is a balast weight and the overall weights fall 3/16-1/4oz. I built this batch out of 3/8 inch thick stock.

More stellar work from Marty :)

These are the bomb, gents, there isn't a finer crank made.
