The do-it crank blanks have been somewhat hit or miss but this little lipless is really, really good. Its only 2'' but a hefty 3/8 oz and fishes about 3ft deep when you reel it steady. I primarily fish it in shad colors.

LC repaint in my red/black craw and a vision 110 knockoff. Going to sneak off to a local pond today to find the right hooks that make these jerkbaits suspend.

The way a 2.3'' preybait lines up with a Z-man finesse eyes jighead is a thing of beauty. This lure gets lots of bites and has multi species capability. I typically use it on an alabama rig when the bass are feeding on tiny shad. Even though its only 2.3 inches it has much more bulk than a 3'' keitech.

I call this color "sugar creek sunfish." This is a repaint/replade of a terminator titanium wire. These discontinued titanium wires are indestructible and have a different vibration. The titanium was so hard to bend, it took a couple minutes to get the swivel on the end. The blades are made by nichols and sold on tacklewarehouse.

Modified the 45 degree trokar swim pro to hold a 30 degree.

These underspins are built around a 4/0 30 degree vmc jig hook, have a bullet shaped head that comes through cover well, double wire weed guards, and double wire keepers like a jackhammer. I'm excited to test these!

I wouldn't say mastered, I still can't paint a bluegill crank for the life of me.

Here are some poison tail swim jigs I've been working on. This mold has really grown on me since I found the right hook for it, I sell a lot of these. We run them with z-man elaztech swimbaits, rage swimmers, or fat keitech swing impacts.

I use a 4/0 Gama G-Finesse hybrid worm hook. I learned about this hook from Harvey Horne's swinging football head class on bass university. It has more bite than conventional EWGs and has insane penetration due to the slick coating. It isn't the strongest hook, but its strong enough. I put a tiny grip-pin keeper on the hook to retain elaztech baits, and i tie the jigs with reverse flare. I catch largemouth with these here and there but my friends on the west coast are absolutely tearing up spotted bay bass with them.
