This is a pair of lures that I built for Gerry Carrol who makes Gerry's Girls bucktails. I really like his baits because they are built super-durable and the blades spin the instant they hit the water. These lures are going to be gifts for friends of his so I can't mention any names until the guys have the lures in their hands. These lures are both 12" and are made from 1.25" cedar. A buddy of mine cut the lumber himself from a tree that was in his brother's yard. I used the usually 1.5" x .092" stainless eye screws, 3x split rings in size 7, and 7/0 3551 Mustads. The lures are wrapped in python skins that have been hand- painted to add a bit of color. I used red reptile eyes on one and a pair of gold/silver fish eyes on the other. I made the diving lips from 3/16" lexan. The lures were finished off with 10 coats of Diamond II epoxy. The finished weight with hooks is 14.8oz!
