[seabass]

thanks Ron.i am glad you like it,steve

[Justin Snyder]

Very nice, I had the same thought. Let us know how it works.

[mullet]

 That should work. That's cool, Steve.

[seabass]

Justin,it work great.this is not the first one that i have made.i use ones like this in shallow water because it is not attatched to a string.you have to be able to go after these.these are great for fish in the creeks.thanks for looking,steve

[Scowler]

"Mcnasty" is an appropriate name.  Pretty cool.

[SEMO_HUNTER]

Nice work, how do you get the fish off? I'm assuming that you pull the entire shaft all the way through?
Cool.

[seabass]

that is how you get them off semo.there is no string attached.

stickbender,you just named my next one.mcgnarly.thanks buddy.

[stickbender]

     You're very welcome .  That looks like something I would like to avoid being the target of!   How are the barbs held in place?

                                                      Wayne

[seabass]

the barbs are held in with tite-bond 3.the barbs are made with bamboo skewers ct down to length.they are as tough as nails and don't break.you guys should make some.they are great for shallow water.

    Hmmmm, that might be something to take out to Montana for brookies....   Thanks for showing this.
