Hi. I've posted my work on here before. Just finished up a new model "CJ".

All my balsa crankbaits are handmade in New Braunfels, TX.

Nice work. Do you put a 3D eye in any of those?

Great looking cranks

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways with a fishing rod in one hand, 10# LMB in the other, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and yelling "Wow! What a Ride!

A few new colors. Just recently went to a show in Tennessee. Yes, drove there from Texas. It was awesome meeting pros such as Casey Ashley and Aaron Martens!
