Went a different direction on this top water. I made it out of maple burl, man that stuff is hard to carve. No paint, just a clear coat. It does have an internal rattle and it walks great.

The good news is it works great and I'm sure it will get em soon.
Pretty cool!

Something a little different. I used unflavored gelatine and Berkley Gulp Recharge to make my own Gulp shrimp. Also poured them into a small ice cube tray to make cubes. I'll post a recipe up after I do some testing. It will dissolve in water but I'm not sure how long it will last. I made it very concentrated so it's as firm as a regular lure. I'll find out how it does and post some results.
