Thank you for the kind words, and yes y'all are spot on about the steps it takes to build one. I painted both sides of the blades and will paint the heads to match. So basically it equates to three crankbaits painting wise. Then you have to put it all together and skirt it they will make some nice personal stock spinner baits because I'm sure no one will pay what they are worth in time. Matt - Save me a couple because I guarantee you I will pay for those spinnerbaits. Those blades are awesome and the bass won't know the heads are painted upside down.

Haha I haven't painted the shad heads yet. I will try my best to pay attention.

Craig--
If you go to page 6 ( in Building lures & pouring plastics)there is a topic titled "Where to get this mold" and it will explain my way to build just the shakey head version. On this one I just snip below the skirt collar instead.

Very nice work, the patterns looks great...could tie a little dark braid around that back hook hanger (or hook) and make it look even more realistic. How about a photo showing the edge (width) of the lure? Wondering how that style rattle bait fishes compared to other vibrating lures?

Cool design on those lipless cranks. Would be interested to see the unique wobble on retrieve.

How about a photo showing the edge (width) of the lure? Wondering how that style rattle bait fishes compared to other vibrating lures? I've not had a chance to fish these yet. I'm kinda wondering the same thing about how they fish. They have a large weight in the nose toward the front hook. I'm guessing they are really designed to rip off the bottom and let settle back. They are a little wider than a rattle trap, with the top rounded (no flat spots to make it wiggle)

 Wanted too try customizing some Jigs. Found a TFF'r too buy some jigheads from. Took a 6011 1/8 welding rod. It worked perfect too plug the brushguard from the powder paint.  Have a few Blowin Up Skirts that I had in the tackle bag.  Coated with Junebug and watermelon flake. Galaxy with disco red. Two tone Fail! Will post a pic after I get them tied together 
I'd Tack That!!

They are a little wider than a rattle trap, with the top rounded (no flat spots to make it wiggle) Great craw patterns...I prefer to fish realistic patterns whenever possible. It sounds like they are lift and drop style bait. Thinking a double treble on the front hook hanger and an EWG on the rear would be a good hook combo. Add a few inches of braid to the back hook hanger and you have a pretty dang realistic crawfish bait. They do have internal rattles? Good post Swalker9513

yes, they have rattles. I got a blank out, and there is a weight behind the front hook holder too.

Dang some of you guys got some serious talent!
I see one soft bait that I am going to need a custom color done in and one crankbait that is the best craw pattern I have ever seen! I will be in touch with a couple of yall and see if we can work something out.
