Craws: The Sequel

[Cheetam]

I took what I learned from the first craw attempt and all the great input I got from everyone, so this is what I came up with.  Two different versions, really.  One is more on the green side, the other more brown.  Both are much darker than the Rusty Craw I posted last week.

Wow, take a look at the larger pics to see the amazing detail.  Nice job  !!!

[MadWags]

Simply the Best!

Thanks guys.  I'm trying to get a different look on these baits, so they are still a work in progress.  I'll probably keep messing around with the color combinations and how the plates are laid out for a while (or until I get tired of "tinkering"  ).

Tim, I give discounts on orders over 1000, so you may want to make it 1001.

I'll take the "1" to put you over the top Tim! (Plus a dozen, of course.)

Very nice again, Jeff!  See ya at the show to p/u the ones I badgered you for?  Being across from the Dare Devil booth in GR last wknd had me "home sick for those" and really excited to see your work in person.

Funny you mentioned Dare Devil.  I painted up one of those a week or two ago.  I'll have your stuff waiting for you at my table (unless someone makes me a really good offer...).

those baits look to pretty to get wet.    looks like I will be hearing the wiz of you tossing cranks for a while this spring.   might even have to put the drop shot rod down and throw one myself...

Jeff - on the cranks that have the adjustable weight system, what size hooks would you suggest?

I use a #4 for both, but you could probably go as big as a #2 for the bottom hook.  IMO, though, the #4 is the perfect size.  Thanks again for stopping by!
