watching this with interest....trout are fun to catch and good to eat...flyfishing is fine untill the dreaded NW comes up,which it does as soon as I get the swizzle stick out of the case....drowning a worn doesnt have those issues and the fish taste just as good....
so now Im puzzled...you started out with light weight wood...and are now adding weight???...lead wire put through drilled holes of correct size might help...like pinning a knife handle.
Lure making is a never ending enterprise; endless design, redesign, retesting and scheming. Lots of fun when it all comes together :)
Its a floating stick bait, trick is it needs to float near vertical. That lead wire is an interesting concept. Where does one get it?Quote:

Soon to put it together and epoxy the guts up then start on the paint
Now, there is the cost of the product, and what some one will pay for the product. How do I get one one of these to give a thrash, and hopefully add teeth rash too? ;)
Looking shit hot!
