It’s been a while since a post but I have been taking my time working on a new 8” two-piece swim bait. Also focused on using epoxy resin for a translucent body.
Not the greatest photo, but silver flakes and chrome lung on the inside.

First attempt of a clear cast, haven’t played with any colours internally yet.
Totally functional popper, extremely durable.

Been plugging away, doing some R&D and different techniques for lure blanks.

No nibs last night but it sure was a nice evening for it. Also tried out my little glow squid contraption, you fish it like bait off the bottom.

Tried catching some of these stripers tonight but as expected they quite haven’t made it here.
But the lure looks incredible.

Been plugging away at molded poured lures as opposed to 3D printed lures, the next step in better quality.
First successful solid PU popper (not painted). One solid piece, no halves.
