I'll add some hooks and see how they vibe soon enough... ;D

As Always looking good Mike!
You made more!?! I will be catching bass on the ones you made this spring in a few weeks I bet! Thanks again!
I am always making something new... I enjoy making/designing lures almost as much as fishing. I think I missed my calling.
I really like having the weight shown on my baits, That is why I made this one to try. The fish don't care, But I do. 8^)
Blade Bait Fest early November on Union Lake. How about it.
Mike,
You know there's a spring Walleye bite on the Blade baits?
They kill them on the reefs.
I don't walleye fish, But I will give it a go if I can use a blade bait. 8-)
I will be on Union Lk tomorrow blade baiting. Bob O is riding shotgun.
I've caught them on blades on the upper DR, walleye that is
New mold is garbage... Waste of time and money. Oh well It don't vibrate unless you stroke the bait hard...

Not a waste of time if you learned something. I look forward to the next new design :-)
I vibrate if you....well,never mind. Sorry.

I've seen your various posts of your home made weights / baits etc and first off very nice work! If you don't mind me asking are you using your own home made molds? Or pre-fab'd? It's something I would like to do myself as a hobby and maybe for a little offshoot extra income. I did some pouring of plastics this year with reasonable success but I'd like to get into jigs, spinnerbaits etc as well with my own specs for size / design but have no idea where to even start...
You can IM me your tele number and I'll do my best to explain what your in for LOL...
I sure cant explain much in a text or post.
Sorry to hear the new blade baits don't work well. Maybe if you get on a hard-stroking bite they will still work for you??
I can see now looking at them why they might not vibrate well based on how far forward the lead weight is. Bummer that doesn't work.
It's not the weight forward as much as weight shape... These Shad Blades work with the weight almost all forward...

Well... there you go. Shows you what I know. The shad blade looks like it wouldn't vibrate much... but really, how many different blade baits does a guy need??
LOL... I guess I'm never content with anything... I'm always trying to improve something. Cant beat me up for that can you?
Nah... I'm not beating you up. I get bored easy so I like lots of stuff too! Takes one to know one, they say!
