Nice work man! just a few hey? youve been bloody busy, how long does it take you to make a lure?
roughly 1-2 hrs to turn -sand-fit bib -hook holders .all depends on shape and size..painting thats a different story.had quite a few stuff ups at first. as you paint one colour let it dry and same for each other colour. then spray with clear gloss sealer . then fit split rings & hooks takes a bit of time from start to finish:cheer:al

i like experimenting with different body shapes as well, still got a few of my own from a few years back and they still consistently catch fish..
