Rogervang Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 (edited) Lately my son and I have been working on a gill bait. One night he got a piece of wood and wanted a fish drawn on it. After a couple attempt we decided this was going to be our final draft of drawing (keep in mind, he's only going to be two. Haha) he was happy with it and so was I. Like any "almost" 2 year olds, he played with it for a couple mins and it ends up on the ground. I looked at it and decided to cut it out and mess around with it. As the wood slowly turns into a fish, he started liking it more and more. So what the heck. Carved out the mouth, gills, body shape ect. He even help me sand down the one side. Turned out pretty cool. So this went from just playing around to a project. Sometimes Brayden wouldn't even let me work on it. but hopefully soon enough he'll have more than enough of the same fish to play with Edited February 8, 2018 by Rogervang lendaCew, Willluvstafish, KeepinItReelFishing and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porkmeatballs Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Very nice details on the head! Glide or multi-jointed? Rogervang 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogervang Posted February 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 For now multi joint floater because I usually fish nights but I'll probably throw in some glides somewhere down the road. porkmeatballs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogervang Posted February 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 The pass weekend we found so time for the gill. We got a couple of steps down and ran into some error. On the single joint its perfect. On the multi joints, the bottom fin takes too much space. I ended up cutting it off in order to place the hardwares. The single joint will have to wait because we ran out of product. azsouth, danthefisherman, porkmeatballs and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
