I have kept the secret all to myself Skip for almost nine years. I can understand why you would want to share the secret with the good folks here on c.com and I will stand by whatever decision you make. The best testimony I can give to your process is the durability of the finished product. Not only is it the brightest star in the heavenly underworld of the reservoir but it is something that will last until jaws tears it apart. The process that Skip came up with is indeed awesome, tedious and requires a ton of patience. It is not for the faint of heart or for those who do not insist on great expectations in their product. This lure is hypnotiiizing when it is finished. I am very proud of Skip for sharing the secret with me and for developing the process.

Having said all that, I am sure that the Crappie do not want this secret revealed because they truly will be an endangered species once this lure is released on them.
