Thanks to all who stopped by the booth at the Minnesota musky expo this weekend. A big thanks to everyone who purchased a musky squid. It's definitely nice to meet customers face to face. I will post what is left from the show soon. I will make up some more big sized squids and some more Squid Jr's. Looking forward to seeing some fish pictures.

Got out this weekend and tried out some of the new Squid Jr's. Just did a quick paint job on these 3. Pike sure liked them. 😁
Got some ready to dip in primer and the wire former made. Things are going a bit slower than anticipated. Perfection takes time. 😉

Poured the first set of Squid Jr's tonight and poured another mold. My Goal is to be able to pour 26 body's at a time. Plus I did a little bit more work on the Squid 🐙 Minnie 😀.
Things are starting to come together.

BACK IN THE LURE SHOP.
It's MUSKY SQUID TIME. I am back in the shop and getting production going on the squids and the rest of the Willy's Hand Crafted Lures Family. Got a couple new members started. Got a lot more work to do with everything. It's ( IT'S STILL GOING TO BE A WHILE) Before I will have some ready to go. But progress is being made. ( MTD ) Minnesota Twist Drill has taken up enough of my time. It's lure building time.
I would like to give out a big thanks to Red October Baits for coming through again and with some awesome new colors. A really BIG THANKS to Dwayne Bennett of Dynamite Plastics for making things Happen for the long awaited Squid Jr tubes and soon the Squid Minni. 😁 It's going to be an exciting year. Hopefully it won't be long and I will be posting bait for sale.

Hi folks. Just wanted to give everyone an update. With the Minnesota musky expo canceled and having unlimited overtime at work. Lure production is on hold at this time. Even though everything has come in and I have everything needed to get going on baits. I just can't pass up the overtime at work. Hopefully once I do get going on lures it won't take long to have some up for sale. I know a lot of you have been patiently wanting for the Squid Jr to come out. I thank you for being patient. Once I get started up with lures I will definitely let you know. Thanks again.

After a long search it has finally happened.
The 8" tubes for the squid Jr are on there way.
Production on the smaller sized squid will start very soon. I would like to give a big shout out Thanks to Dwayne Bennett/ dynamiteplastics for making this happen.
