Few that I have done up more to come today since im on call this weekend and married to the phone for work. But time well spent for sure now if any of them work will be the next thing or I wasted some time and money but fun doing it.

Nice looks and combination of colors.
It's never a waste of time and money.
If you don't like them, they make great gifts to another fellow fisherfriend.

good job chad. i also like the middle ones and the purple one near the top. (lite) also like the single hooks better than trebles easy to tie a trailer hook to it also for short strikes. cant wait to see them work .

If only fish could speak....... The rest is up to us. Nice work. Every time I think I've got the color thing figured out, I'll get a strike on something totally different. Maybe they do speak, just in code..... :)

CPMaple, Great colors but I see that some have octopus hooks on them. How do those work out for you? I've tried them a few times, but found they tend to hang up on the split rings and their eyes are off-set which can sometimes effect lure action. Just a thought ....
