Nice going Shane especially for a first time :up:
Might be a bit upsetting if they get snagged & lost, so hopefully you're not too precious about them :lol:

They're a combo of 2/0 and 4/0 depending on the lure, Mustad Kaiju and Decoy singles.

Look the part for sure. Give them a swim yet? Every time I tie a fly it goes straight in the pool to see how it looks. Customized a spinnerbait just before and I'm hanging out to see it in water.

I've only done a sink test to confirm their sink rates. Swim test will be tomorrow, although being stick baits it'll be as much a part of the action imparted as the lure itself.

They are looking good and I hope they work well for you. It would be a bit of a buzz to catch one on your own lure :up: good luck everyone.
