I sent Darcy a Sea Snake skin that I bought off a Taxidermist some 20 years ago and asked Darcy could he come up with a lure covered in some of this skin.Here is the result. The snake was an Olive Sea snake about 2mtrs long.When tanned it ended up a light blue/grey colour and Darcy added colour to it.Hope you like it.

I'm a bit disturbed by the last photo which seems to show a beautiful lure, sheepskin rug and some sort of cream in a dispensing container with the lid off......

That is some nice workmanship on that lure. Although I have to say, I hate snakes and that lure sort of creeps me out, just a little bit

Yea keep your techniques secret Darcy!
I do remember tanning a big python years ago. Of course I found this dead on the road, seemed a shane to waste it! Skin may just be hidden inthe back of my gun safe somewhere later wayne |

Brilliant concept and execution! Now where can I get some heat shrink in a "snake" pattern? Would save a lot of time. The bar is lifted yet again!

Thats nothing short of brilliant! I recon that python skin could go over one of Bobs dragonfly lures though! Those things are huge.

Great idea Heath
C'mon Bob, you might be just the one to turn Wayne's horrible tie (sorry Wayne) into a very special Dragon Fly! (after all Dragons are reptiles too!) |
