Our newest kit,
and another Salty's exclusive!
We've made it easy and simple to duplicate a real nice symmetrical
perfect profile-the body easily sands down until there's no cross
hatches visible anymore!
At a full 5" and a finished size ~1.8oz., this closely resembles a
juvenile menhaden/bunker.
As in the full size lure, we've used large .092 magnum stainless screw eyes to make this lure as
durable as possible for predatory fish!
Can be used in fresh or
saltwater. Heavy/Large size belly
keel weight as in the originals made famous by the professor himself.
Includes a pair of our retro yellow flat eyes as used in the lures of
yesteryear.
All parts included
except for hooks and split rings. We recommend Rosco 5H split rings and
VMC 2/0 9626 Permasteel Saltwater treble hooks.
No tail hook is used on this lure-just a dressed bucktail stub.
Lure can optionally be routed inside with a dremel or carving tool to
make lure through wired. Do this before the halves are glued for best
results.
Rattles can be installed inside very easily by hollowing out a space.
The dual shell architecture lends itself to some interesting ideas.
This is an advanced kit and not meant for
first time or inexperienced builders. We give you a 3D profile which is
glued together to get the full profile,
it's predrilled for the belly keel weight only, all other holes are
drilled by the builder with a simple battery drill or a drill press.
Requires 1/16 regular & 5/16" brad point drill bits, drill, epoxy, foam backed sandpaper,
pliers, pair woodworking clamps, and a file.
Can be painted with ordinary spray bombs,
remember to seal first and then can be painted with Testors/acrylic paints and a small brush
from AC Moore,
let them dry thoroughly and coat with a few coats of
clear spray paint or brush with epoxy etc in thin coats for more
durability.
See the pictorial page or our free lure forum on this website for more information.
Limited availability! Due to how long it
takes to manufacture these they will be in short supply.
