Hey, heres a few pics of some stickbaits ive been making, any pointers?? go easy its my first stab at it.

All Cedar, S/S through wire with Owner 700lb swivels, lead weighted

Ended up making 8 now, its kind of addictive, all different shapes and weights and swim quite different to each other, ones hopeless.

Raw plug







Rigged and waterproofed for testing, next to Hots Kieko



Paint Finished - Yet to Rig



Done

How do you shape them? 
Are you using a lathe or just sanding them down to size? 

:) Looking at making ones similar these! They look great

I cut the basic side profile on the bench saw and then shape on the linisher, and finish by hand. Cant see a lathe being much use unless youre making something symmetrical. Good luck!

Not looking to sell anything sorry mate, just making them myself as a hobby.

Im still playing with them getting them perfect (in my eyes) aiming for long smooth wide swimming action, but they all swim a little different as theyre very different in shape. Ive got a few swimming really good and still going on some, looking forward to top water season.

How are you testing them? In the pool?

The ones you have working the action that you like do you imagine you would be able to redo it or is each one too unique?
(Asking because if one turned out to be your favourite how easy it'd be to make two favourites)
