Looks great. What kind a wood did you use? Does it float or?

I suspect if you stick a lubricious price on it and get a picture or two with a 9 or 10lb bass hanging off it they will sell like hotcakes.   lo

Awesome looking bait, I know the big girls here in Louisiana would chomp that.

Thanks again guys!! I made the bait out of balsa wood and I carved the tail out of balsa wood. I carved another tail and made a mold so I could make a flexible tail. Here is the new tail.

You do some awesome lure building!  ~c~ ~c~ ~c~

I saw some of that film for sale recently, for doing a "real" finish like that and couldn't help but wonder how they would look! Very impressive!  ~heart ~heart ~heart

Balsa wood? Is the hook harness attached to the joints somehow? I would imagine any bass capable of eating that bait would demolish it on the first jump. Why’d you use such a light wood?
