Here are a couple that I,ve made recently that are quite large, fragile, but may produce some dinner this summer, 8) when the ocean is kinder!

The spinner blade is my idea of more stuff to lose to the rocks?

The leaders are 2mm mono and crimped. the heads are epoxy and were kinda fun to make! ;)

Nicely done Gary. Don't know if your familiar with it but EZ-Body but it makes short order of epoxy heads. I fits not available up your way, send me a PM with your address and I'll send some along.

Keep up the good work and stay warm,  ..  Lou
