first popper (please comment)

[crankybait]

well, here it is. on the bottom, the epoxy dripped a bit... but i dont think the fish will care. hows the color, ect?



i think this would go along nicely witha ll the gear im getting from my contract i just love when parents underestimate me...

[crankybait]

oh th back of this lure is black

[bassintxlady]

cranky....that's an awsome job you've done there....i would throw it....and i'm sure i would catch a lunker on that one......most excellent....keep up the great work.....

[JB]

cranky,
good job, you'll really enjoy it the first bass ya land with it..better get in all the fishing you can before med school takes over yer life

[bass kicker]

that is a vary good job and have you tested them yet to see if they make the proper popping action

[crankybait]

thanks a lot guys. id really love to catch on this lure. txlady, im doing another right now. itll be in the colors you wanted. just to show you if its the right one. have it mixed already. and yes i tested it in my tub. has a sort of differnt action... when you drag it forward, it surges forward, pushes water, then dips back. it really does look cool

[Christopherkeene9]

SWEET good job can't wait to see more!!


Chris



P.S Kevin you need to make a tackle making board!!!

[bass kicker]

try a spook type pattern

[crankybait]

chris- i have two more. i carved em today, theyre now drying (epoxy). one is like a spook and lipless crankbait hybrid in this same color, just a bit darker, and red belly. the other one i foiled. it is a copper color with a purple back.

bass kicker i dont have much sandpaper left. i cant do a spook right now

[bass kicker]

i just suggested you give it a try i dont care when

[crankybait]

i suppose id do it. theyre floating lures, right?

[Bass_fishing_girl]

Cranky, it looks gr8! Let us know how you do with it. I really like the color also.
San

[InEccess]

Yeah Cranky, they're floating lures. Just think of a hot dog, or a cigar while sanding. That's about it.

[va_basser]

not too shabby there Cranky..next one maybe put a feathered treble on the rear?

awsome....cant' wait to get it and wet my line with it.....

[bass kicker]

when you going to make me one

[betursweetbass]

Very nice work there young man, really like it, I'll take one in blue back and sliver body, baby bass, and shinner colors please. Oh. and if you would, put a smaller O ring on the back of mine and tie a feather to the trebble hook. Check's in the mail, and OH.....can you tell me why it hurts when I do this?

[bassintxlady]

no way.....i'm waiting on my lure first there buddy!!!!.....and in my medical opinion....."stop doing that"....lol.....do you concur there cranky????.....lol.....

[crankybait]

bass fishing girl- thanks a lot. i have another one in this color, its my best mix. i still have a can, so if anyone likes it i can easily whip some up, since i gotta finish it fast.
ineccess- ok i might make one
va- i would but i dont know what kind of feathers to use. any suggestions? ive got some white marabou...

kicker- ill make you one when you ask and im done with the rest.
betursweetbass- i dont have silver but when i get it ill make you one. got a design you want? and would the o ring be the thing the split ring is on? for poppers, i have to make em big since i make em with wire going thru. otherwise, i couldnt cup the mouth. i found some screw eyes btw. id need to use wire for any weighted lure or poppers. ill let you see my other two designs, but theyre a bit sticky. probably in 3 hours or so.

txlady- um the lure i did in your colors, i foiled. it looks more of a copper color. and i put the eyes too far back. but imagine it without the foil and thatd be your color. the foil i shard to put on without wrinkling it. and yeah, "stop doing that" would be a smart choice

[Wishing2BFishing]

Cranky, I am impressed, very impressed.

[crankybait]

yeah? thanks man. i just made two more. i already carved them, just painted and epoxied em. one of them screwed up on the paint job. the bottom is very ugly. but the design looks like a winner. the second one i really like. i painted them in txladies color, then added black dots on it. ill post pics of the 4 you havent seen tomorrow, since the ones from yesterday are still sticky

[bass kicker]

thanks cranky i am not in a hury for mine since bass season dosent start here until the end of june

[Wishing2BFishing]

Looking forward to seeing the newer additions to the "Cranky Bait Company".

[bass kicker]

[Fishing4Soup]
