    Hooray! My hands were shaking as much watching as yours were in the video. I'm so happy my baits are getting out into the world and making a name for themselves. They grow up so fast, *sniff*
    I don't want to break your workflow, but I'm most excited to see the one with three trebles (don't want to give away what it is) catch some pike. The walking bait sits very low, but it walks like a champ, I tested it.

    What a gratifying exchange this is - someone working hard to make something with their own hands (including the personalized notes) for (one of, if not) their favorite content creators, and seeing their labor smash the fish on that channel. How cool! Well done, both of you.

    Years ago I was in a small tackle shop in Walker, Minnesota and they had a big pike mount from that 1920's. A big one , over 40 inches. The lure? A large pine cone painted bright red, with three treble hooks and an integral wire leader. Brilliant. Those old timers made the most of what they had.

    I've been tying flies for almost 40 years and the best dry flies are always the simplest. Just a piece of cork, shaped like a time capsule pill, down to the size to fit between a 20-24 hook. Painted simple chartreuse colors. Green, Orange. Sometime not painted at all. Teeny tiny. Trout don't leave it alone.

    You got me all excited and I made about nine or 10 of the popper frogs out of wine corks. I painted mine up in all different colors with nail polish, and then clear coated it with some varnish. I had 250 pound mono that I used to run through the lure and crimped it on both ends. I also added rubber skirts to the tail end. They look just like frogs! I’m sure when it gets warm enough, they’ll get hammered
