Hi Larry, hope you are well!
Haven’t made any hardbaits in a while, but recently decided to make a large lipless crankbait for stripers and big largemouth bass.
I decided to sculpt something that would cover a variety of salt and freshwater forage. For saltwater I plan to do it in a porgy and also menhaden. For fresh: big shad, perc, crappie, bluegill, herring. The bait is 4.25”, 2.25oz. The master was done in sculpey firm. HS1 for mold silicone. White casting resin.
Thanks for checking it out have a nice day everyone.
