just recently started about a year ago making our own bucktails. Very educational!! You can make any color, shape, size from deer hair to feathers and blades galore! Yes there is the right time to use blades etc.. dont get me wrong I do fish with store bought baits such as a bulldawg, but the gratification of catching a monster on something you made is pretty cool. this fish was on a blade yes there was a happy dance on that one!!

YES Phat Walleye now that’s what I’m talking about!!!! Love your story, one of my biggest came on a bou buck that was hot pink saw the whole thing go down when the fish hit the bait at boat side. Once in the net, and unhooked her I actually sat down and started to cry and said “I made that bait”

Keep up the good work work, would love to see some of your creations!!

Wow!!! Had the chance to make a “show piece” for M & W marine in Hales Corners WI. Love it when I can use the creatively to make a bait that will never see water- will be on display in their showroom!

I've been sharpening the hooks on the baits that you made me!  :)

And getting out scouting weeds and finding some crappies here and there.

Ok don’t know what everyone else is doing during their lockdown?  I’m trying my hand at tying up some jigs for musky! First time not to shabby!  Also , getting some tinsel bucks done up.

What’s everyone else been doing???

Thanks

Waiting for the storm to move out so I can get some more teeth marks in these things. I really enjoy doing up my perch, they look so real first hand.
