ermghoti Posted June 12, 2022 Report Share Posted June 12, 2022 There seems to be a large gap in the commonly available sizes of this lure. I can get all the 1oz I could want, I can get bushels of 2.75-3.25, but the only 2oz I see is a wood offering from 24/7, and it sounds more like a spook shaped pencil popper. Am I missing one?

Surfcaster Chris Posted June 12, 2022 Report Share Posted June 12, 2022 I make a wooden spook that weighs in at 1.6 oz...there is a gap in the commercial size range. Getting the size and weight balance correct to walk the dog is the reason I think why there are not more sizes out there. This which is why I created this one.

TopStriperAngler Posted June 12, 2022 Report Share Posted June 12, 2022 (edited) NorCalKat has a 2.2 oz 7.25" spook called a HiredGunz. He has another one at same length but smaller diameter weighs 1.75oz. I suggest make own from western red cedar dowels in 3/4" diameter. Try one at 7" and one at 9"? Just round off the ends, maybe a 1" taper on tail, or not. Hot dog or broom stick shape in other words no shaping involved. Weight so sits a bit tail down. Screw eyes, seal the wood with epoxy and glue in weights at same time, krylon it white and don't bother with another coat of epoxy. Canal rig a single belly hook. go fishing.

I bought a KVD branded fillet knife in a pinch, and it was kind of junk, so I was skeptical. Massachusetts EPO: 1-800-632-8075 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc H Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 In addition, Jigman's 2 1/4oz Jig Walker is awesome! Not sure if he is still building to sell anymore. Might be able to scare one up in the WTB Plugs forum. ermghoti 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
