Just a few prototypes I finished up today.
Deep Divers- Hand cut and shaped body, hand twisted .40 gauge brass wire line tie and hook hangers, hand cut and shaped G-10 "circuit board" lip. I'm conservatively guessing 12+, but won't know for sure for a week or two. I don't know what pattern I'll paint these yet, but they'll probably be something for the "big water".
Shallow Divers- Hand cut and shaped body, hand twisted .40 gauge brass wire line tie and .40 gauge stainless steel hook hangers, and "circuit board" lip (leftovers from the "bloody thumb" incident from a couple years back :D). The top two have a tight to medium wobble and should get down around 2-3 feet on a medium retrieve. The bottom bait will run 3-5 and has a nice medium wide wobble. I'm not sure how I'll paint these up yet.
i have a fancy pants, 7'6" honey colored rod for you to test drive these on in 2 weeks.

Sweet! Microguides, split grip, and all the fixin's?
Pretty sweet. I hand carved a couple last week. But don't have anything else other than the bodies. If you are at the open I 'll have a ton of questions for you.

I'll be there. Hopefully I'll have a ton of good answers for you :D.
Those look awesome! Can't wait to see the paint job. ;D
