I guess I got started carving in 2000. I had been fly fishing for many years and
like to use poppers for small mouth.
well being a lure collector too I decided to try to make a popper similar to
a heddon pop eye frog, and it really caught the fish.
From there my
collection of old baits moved toward Paw-Paw / moonlight baits. I really
liked the Wotta-frog so I decided to try to make something like that and the
darn thing caught fish too.
Well I started surfing the web and found the Carver comp web site and saw
some really great stuff. That's were I discovered fish decoys. and figured
id try that too.
So far the lures and decoys I have made are mostly carved from
Basswood, except for the first few baits, I made them from pine and poplar
scrap I took from old skids at work. all are carved by hand, and i try not
to use any power tools at all.
I mainly make these to fish with and a few for friends, I only sell a few
and would much rather trade for something to ad to my collection of hand
carved baits and decoys.
any way thats how i got started. if you have anything to trade let me know
