Bob Bibby sent me these pics yesterday of a few pike he had whilst testing my 'rat tail' surface lure for me. The lure looks like being a winner and has also put pike on the bank for me whilst testing. It has a tight walking action but can be made to go about 10" under the surface, this lure is going to get chewed up big time.

I thought i would make a tench lure as my local waters are stuffed full of them.

Amazing body roll on the long pull.

Here's a new lure i made especially for the bream munchers that abound a certain local water, it has a brilliant action and i cannot wait to give it a try.

Well i sent Bob Bibby AKA jammy Bob a sample of my slow sinking whopper tail thingymejiggy for him to test. A few day's later he sent me these pic's, i doubt i will make anymore as i only had two kalins big grub tails one for him one for me.

Now back to the never ending quest that is lure wobble.

My airbrushing seems to be getting better, and i am happy with my new epoxy 'aristocrat' which i purchased from lundgrens. I will post a review of the 'aristocrat' when i get chance.

Heres a few surface lures i have been making, cant wait for spring.

The above lure is a favourite that i know is going to be brilliant, dog walker with a subtle splash and lovely rippling tail

This is a jerkbait that i weighted to be used 'wakebait style.

The big gob has seen better days so i just repoxied it, the disturbance this makes is awesome. I took a few pike on this las year.

The cyclops is a dog walk bait with a down facing eye, a nice splash on the jerk. I used a prototype of this last year to great efffect.

The swimming dog needs fixing up a bit, i even got a nice fish cranking it as fast as i could last year. A wake that seems to last forever. A big lure that has saved me a few times. I love the looks i get when i throw the dog.
