Not exactly bass lures, well that was not their primarily build purpose but sure they would work.
Made these for a guy that lives in Ireland. He saw what I was making on another kayak forum and gave me a challenge to build him a lure to catch northern hemisphere pike.
I said sure and surprisingly when I asked him what size lure he wanted and what attributes he advised me he wanted something around the 5-6 cm long with abit of a wobble.
He has a particular shape in mine but after a bit of too and fro I advised him that I wanted to put a bit of shape into it that reflected the target species.
This is what I came up with

He gave me his colour and this is what I gave him back. Running size 6 trebbles in black nickel. One deep and one shallow diver.

I gave them a swim yesterday and they wobble and roll nicely. Might have to build some for myself now to chase some natives.
Hope you like the name btw. Bit of a reflection on where they are going. ;D
