Finished up two more baits a few days ago and they are done curing! The first one is a shallow diving cobra that I did for a fellow from VA. (not sure if he wants his name mentioned or not). The yellow python I did for Gerry Carroll, the maker of Gerry's Girls. The yellow python is also a shallow diver. The python skin is hard to find and very hard to wrap on a lure. Thanks to MaryLou for the python skin! I let Gerry pick the eyes he wanted on this one and I think he picked a winner.
Something new I've started doing on my last few batches is securing the lips with two stainless steel .062" pins in addition to epoxy. I've also gone to a slightly larger diving lip which has really enhanced the action. Seems to be working well so far.
