Loving the subtle curves on this wooden suspending . After a dozen sink tests and numerous weight adjustments, I finally nailed down the suspending/neutral rise. Can't wait to see what this one produces in 2024.

Per usual, eyes were spot on for the paint job 👌

Fear not-- the bait designing fire is still there. Stay tuned because I'm planning on ramping back up. is just getting started 🤝

This past weekend, I traveled back to my Commonwealth roots and played around with some poplar prototypes. This wooden mouse wake tore them up. Got a few design tweaks to make, but I think this bait could be a winner 🐁 x 🎣

Played around with some new stenciling techniques and managed some cool bite marks on this Meanderer. I'm calling this one the "Satanic Shad"

Wood at its finest...

Meanderer in an all natural Gizzard Shad scheme. Really working hard to nail down hyper realism. Can't wait to start throwing this chunk of wood around 😎
