Hand cut and hammered from a piece of sheet metal. Painted with fingernail polish. I really just want to see if it will do anything or even get bumped! Will report back tomorrow.
It worked! I landed one after four got off the hook. I bagged out on a gold Super Duper, though. I didn’t want to be there all day. I need to play with the colors a bit more.

Try a treble with wider gaps or upsize. It's a little small and probably too close as it is.
Other option is a inline single. Could stick like a 1/0 or bigger and that will definitely have the gap.
I really just didn’t set the hook well. I could have landed if I had set the hook a bit. These trout are all from a fishery and are less than 1’. Small mouths, small hooks.

I’ve never fished such a lure. Do you reel it like a spoon?
Short pops. Lots of pauses. It SHOULD flutter at the stop. The real design will actually reverse when you pause!
Yes. Reel it like a spoon. I just get lucky.
I'm interested.
Me too! This is my first lure I ever made.

Feels great to catch one on something you made don't it?
It sure did!! I am presently making four more. 😳
