Vince,

those Rocket Shad.... are a 6" bait??? confused

how much do they weigh???? confused

what Depths due they run???? just a little curious???? confused

I've seen your shad around the net for sometime now..... Very Happy

and its gotta be one of the sweetest you make...... cheers

I am willing to bet I can get a big ass snook to swallow one of those bad boys!!!! " Fatfingers "..... "Art and Retrospective"... - Page 2 962367

fatfingers 1/7/2010, 2:09 pm

Thanks, Roc.

I'm not sure how much they weigh...I'll try to check that and let you know later. But they when casting they'll run from 6 to 10 feet and when trolled they'll go from 10 to 20 or so, depending on how much line you let out, how fast you're going, etc.

fatfingers 1/9/2010, 8:49 pm

Here's one I just finished. Hope you like it. Its a "walk-the-dog" style bait, like a Zara Spook, but this one I call the Fatfingers TopDog and it is for musky and northern pike. It is 8 3/4 inches long finished in a 23k gold pattern:

I gave the whole bait an undertone of blue ghost pearl and gave the belly micro scales:

Beautiful stuff !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like you have the deep diving problem figured out !!!!!!!!!!!! How deep can they go ???????

fatfingers 1/23/2010, 10:38 am

Thanks,, FJR. The Threadfin Shad that I designed about two years ago will easily run to about 20 feet or more when trolling and 8 to 12 when casting.
