This design has caused me all kinds of frustration and multiple failed attempts to get it to work right but I have got it beat.
Just finished painting and there is no choices this time this is the color. Will start clear coat tomorrow and a white rubber tail will be added

Nice work ... if it's nameless & you attach a black twister tail, call it the "Ghost".

A black tail would look good on the pattern and they are easily swapped/replaced because they screw on/off
Unfortunately I didn’t look at my supply of 6inch grubs before painting. I only have white and I order bulk from the US for better price and none in town. But the winner can go with any grub color and style with the soft tail lures. I will have recommended style for action purposes though

Ok after talking to LUNKDAWGEH by PM he has decided he would like the lures to go to some young anglers
So by the winner’s request Immigrant could you put theses lures in those kids hands. I will also add 2 of my dressed pike spinners to the lures already offered to add to LUNKDAWGEH’s already kind gesture
I will PM you for mailing information tomorrow

A bit off topic, but I'd be interested in commissioning you to make a larger wooden crankbait. Full disclosure it won't be used for fishing. I have some space on the millwork in my lake house that needs filling. I'd love to have some "artwork" from a fellow Albertan outdoorsman on it. Shoot me a PM if interested. Cheers.
Some great photos in this contest BTW.

I would like to thank Smoky buck and Lunkdawgeh for their kindness and generosity. They represent what the outdoor community is really about. I hope my son and I will be able to “pay it forward” one day. I will post some pics as soon as they arrive……as well as some of the monsters he will catch with those.

If I do this again I will definitely start building right away so they are sent out faster. Between some unplanned issues in life and hunting season distractions things were way slower then I would like
Glad to see they put a smile on his face and hope the lures treat him well. Let him know the best way to appreciate the art I do is fish them and fill them with tooth marks

Awesome to read, was wondering why this post came up again and I am glad I checked it out. This is why this community is so awesome.
Also if you ever lose that green lure someplace let me know where because I am in love with it lmao.
Merry Christmas all, happy holidays, and happy new years!!!

Lets hope that once he gets to our age their are still fish big enough to warrant those size of lures... Wait this is a positive post threat, so lets hope he can use some of those lures at our age to catch some monsters!!!

Life has overwhelmed my time this year so I could not commit to doing another contest this year but hope to do another in the future
