New Lures In The Line-Up - SALTWATER TAKEOVER

So this lure making stuff is addictive. With parts not running a whole lot considering you get them in lots of 100,  I have started expanding here and there. This week I starting making my own classic style DucknBuck Classic Spinnerbaits, Saltwater Spinners, and Spinning Jigs. These are much heavier weight wire, larger blades, and stouter hooks. The jig heads are 1/4oz weight and tipped with a 3/0 sickle hook that really locks on a fish, and the wide gap hooks on the spinners are 3/0. All of this equals up to one heck of a fish catching piece of hardware! They are going to tear up the specks, redfish, striped bass, largemouth, and probably Pike as well.

Check'em out and if you like them, I have some for sale on EBAY or on Etsy. You can click on either of these to go directly to my listings.

Decoy carving and Painting - First Species : Hooded Mergansers

I just started doing some decoy carving this year. Currently I am finishing up putting the final touches on some hooded mergansers I have been carving and painting over the last couple weeks to put up for sale on my Etsy store. Its a lot of work but I find it relaxing and a way to make a couple extra bucks. Plus it is a dying art that I want to master and pass down to my boy, Jackson.

Regardless whether he picks up the carving blade or not he is going to be one lucky boy because for every species I carve I have been saving one or two just for him. His are special though... they are not just show pieces... they are hollowed.... they have keels... they are balanced to handle the local waters, they are true gunning decoys ready for action when their day comes. One day that day will come and boy I can't wait.....

Stay tuned for my next carving project... a 6 pack of Greenwing teal!
