Hey there mole,
 
That is a good question, I am currently working on finished baits and due to how labour intensive finished lures are the kits have hit the back burner. I am also in the process of creating a new popper with the help from Falco, I have just recieved some spec's today so this may well be able to be offered in kit form. But one thing is sure I don't want to produce some rubbish lure that is no good for anything. I will keep you posted Smile

Hey Unlimited,  Not as yet, once I have the weight sorted for the above lures, I will get some footage. I will be sending out some trial kits for evaluation to some F.net members and hopefully they can give some feedback.

Hey DH, I have made up piper style lures before, here is a pic of a jointed spook/stickbait I made a while ago. By memory it was 20-25mm in diameter and 240mm long and was weighted to sink slowly when not retrieved. Would something the same or similar suit?

Here is two styles of poppers that I will be making up in kit form. Hopefully this week I will be able to get into the engineering shop and see if I can get a custom mold cnc'd for casting the lead tail weights for these lures.....Nothing ever happens quickly enough!Angry
 
 
Top Popper is 130mm ( 5") long and will be around the 3oz mark without hooks. 10 degree angle in the face ( hard to see in pictures )
 
Bottom Popper is 200mm ( 8") long and will be in the area of 4.5oz - 5oz without hooks. 5 degree angle in the face. Both should put up a nice splashWink
 
I have been working on a stick bait model on the side and hopefully will be able to include this option in the near future also.

Poppers at this stage 2cold, I will be working on these and hopefully get a few pics up with a few different styles shortly.
 
In the future I will work on a kit style stickbait, there is alot more work in stickbaits when trying to reproduce each bait by hand, but I will see how we get on.

About 3-4 oz, but it does depend on where the weight is in relation to the shape. The blank lure weight will also affect how much and where it is added.
