Do you through wire or use screw eyes , I’ve done a few and through wired them but I’ve noticed not many makers do that with wood lures so I’m going to try some longer screw eyes next time I make some . Need to look how to make a dryer though so I can paint and epoxy them rather than just sealing them and using jigskinz .

Spintec in ribchester do some 25mm ones if that will be big enough . Can’t copy and paste links for some reason tonight so I’ve took a screenshot . Lureparts.nl do bigger ones aswell 

I've done some through wires  I also  do some with eyes I twist myself, I lost what was probably my PB due to a screw eye straightening out on a purchased  lure so I've never really trusted them since....thanks for the info on the propeller,  I may use two small spinner blades on back section of one , on each side like legs

That’s always been a concern for me ever since I used the old fox spearhead jerkbaits , brilliant fish catcher but like most things fox made , absolutely rubbish build quality. The screw eyes used to come loose in no time . 
2 blades should work well , it will be like the legs on a duckling . 
I’m going to nip in to spintec when the rivers are open because it’s only at the back of where I fish and ask if he can get some of the really big spinner blades so I can make some big bucktail spinners like double cowgirls. They look easy to make and they’ll be something different to what most pike see over here

I thought the wolly pog was going to be a fairly simple build but it's turning out to be quite the challenge to get it working properly, still very much in the proof of concept stage, may need rethink....

What’s it doing , is it diving or not wobbling properly or is it something else

It wasn't  wobbling properly  but I think I've cracked it now ...ive reshaped the bottom as it was too flat and I've moved the weight to the back.....physics!

Got the first base colour down on one, it's a fine holographic glitter mixed in UV resin

I noticed you shave them to shape or atleast refine them with a blade, but how big a block do you start with an how much do you take off with blade, do you use a belt sander or anything or is that after the blade?

Depends on how I'm feeling .. I generally use the bandsaw and linisher at work to get the basic shape  and refine it at home with a Stanley knife and sandpaper...plenty of stuff on YouTube to learn from,  marlin baits and the engineered angler are a good place to start.

Iv saw them monster ones haha can’t wait to see your now

I tried to get a bit of a video but it's not easy holding a rod and trying to hold a phone while reeling in lol ...it works a treat volume is a bit shit but you can hear it knocking....didn't get any takes on it but I didn't really expect to in this place  ...I had one take on a frog which I never expect to hook up on so not disappointed with that one and another take on a whopper plopper that normally never let's me down but didn't hook up today so a bit pissed about that one lol.

I've been watching a load of custom paint job videos recently  so just for giggles I decided to have a go at a LO-Ryder theme for this one, not easy at this scale ....
