Completed from last post "Natural Lures"

Took inspiration from Lure Foundry (works of art) and made a more natural lure. I also made them this way because the last lures I made did not do too well with the toothy critters that inhabit the Florida reefs.
They will hopefully be sturdier. I did not use foil or epoxy, the coating is simply super glue which soaks into the cedar and seals it. I also used stronger split rings because the last ones were all bent out of shape literally. The black on top was achieved by burning the wood carefully with a small torch. I have tested their swim abilities in the lake behind my house and they did pretty well. I will take them out for a true test and post the results.
