(scroll down)

Not being an out and out lure angler means I have little idea of how these would work. But I do think they are fantastic works of art, they look the business for sure. I'd buy them just to show them off. Nice one!!

they are bonkers! random bones hanging out all over - madness!

they really are stunning great inspiration with me building lures now

some of what i presume are jigs are highly unusual too, the craftsmanship is unreal

Frankenstain serie are stunning

jigs and im guessing a few are ice type jigs i wouldt swear to that though

Some stunning lures there Ryan, I love the jigs and the bitten fish

im not to sure that the bitten fish are to actually fish with as he says later on this rane of frankenstein lures is for fishing....

im not too sure about the fish skin as well looks nice but i cant help thinking that one day it will start to go mouldy and smell

I think there more like i need one of those for the collection and don't use it. To me i see them more as art than as a tool for the job..

I think my Muskysnax should not be used but they look too good to be sat in a cabinet

Most of them are jigs.... I use them back here in really deep water... very effective if used with a fish finder to narrow down the hunting area!!! As far as the franken series goes... all i can say is that there are as many varieties of lures out there as there are anglers!!!

Frankenstains are only decoy's and other my skinlures are for fishing and these are covered by special lure varnish, so skins dont smell thru like someone thoght at this thread earlier.
I have lot of diffrent models: specialities for icefishing, lightened spoons, minnows, surfacemodels....what i like to make
Little taste of latest ones:

There's a lot of nice lures out there but these are on whole new level. To my mind, especially the lures with patterned lips, aren't just lures but art.

some of those are awesome. i especially like the look of the ones that look like they have been attacked by something with a bit missing, the bones sticking out are a nice touch. and those lighter coloured perch look incredibly realistic and the sturgeon looking ones are a good likeness too.
what sort of prices would i be looking at for some of the ones i have mensioned?

Some very nice lures there, I'm liking the brass spoon type things at the top, and the finish on the perch cranks at the bottom is first rate.

Basic painted/flaked starts from 13€/each (including cranks, cos these are maked to plastic-body), basic fishskins from 15€/each, sturgeons from 20€/each (with head 45€).
These is few unique decoys/art-lures and the starts from 60€/each and allmost all of these are maked straight to customer and sold.

I know that these are more expesive that "normal" lures, but quality and handmaking costs alot.

Btw, couple teaser:
