chefchris Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 Finished this up earlier this week. Was shooting for wake/crank, but after paint/epoxy/sealer it became an xss, which is fine and I’ll adjust the weights on the next one. also have to play around with the hooks/rings and maybe it will make it a heavy float. made from pine, cut on the band saw, and then all hand shaped. The accent lines are burned in with a small torch. Probably my favorite part of the build. All paints are high end graffiti transparent paints, layered, 6 different colors, then gold pearl epoxy. Hand painted eyes. Hand tied custom decoy quad front hook. Cut down triple trout tail. Weighs 3.5oz with the decoy quads thanks for looking.

chefchris Posted October 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 Will shoot a better swim/sink video later this week. Water is crazy dirty after the rains here and tough to film solo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
