After my trusty old compressor packed it in, last weekend, I managed to get 10 Kad Sets painted today.  There's still a bit of work to be done on these lures and I'll let the members know when they are signed, rigged up and packaged.
 
 
 
I made a Mini Kad for each Set, which will be numbered the same as the other 2. No obligation to take the Mini Kad, which is $35.
 
I finished undercoating the remaining 7 Sets, yesterday.  Hopefully, I'll get them painted next weekend. There are still 6 members who haven't got back to me with their preferred colours, so I may only have 1 Set to paint next weekend LOL
 
Also have 3 'nude' Sets to finish.
 
Cheers
 
Travers

At last, 16 of the 20 Kad Sets are finished Big smile.  Only 3 nude sets and a painted set to go.
 
I had a problem sending photos of the Sets to the 16 members. The photos would upoad to LL's but not upload to the PM.  I sought help from Tony, and it appears that characters like & and # in the filename causes the problem.  My photos had # in the filename. I've removed the # from the group photo filenames, so we'll see if they download.
 
 
 
 
I had an arthroscope on my left knee, today, so I'm looking a bit like "Bandage Bear". Will try to get these Kad Sets posted on Wednesday.
 
Cheers

There's quite a bit of work there, Travers.
No soccer, no motorbike, no launchin the boat, knees are handy things when they don't hurt!!!
You'll be gettin around OK soon.
Can come over with my lawnmower if ya need help in the yard.
It's not like I'm real busy either.

The Mini Kads are an amazing little lure.  A few members are fishing with them so, hopefully, the $35 spent is producing them some fish.
 
This year's Mini Kads look to be all taken with Kaditcha Sets.  I'm making a few more, at the moment, to fill some orders.
 
A better view of this year's Mini Kads.
 
 
Sorry about the photo quality.  Might be time to buy a better camera!LOL
 
Cheers

That hot pink looks great (not that there's anything wrong with that- just saying). They are all beautiful lures and will catch fish.

Nearly finished this year's Kads Big smile 

Finished this Set yesterday


Last 3 Sets are nudes.  My 2 Sets (#1 & #2) and a full Set (from Mini Kad to 6" Kad).  They've had about 8 coats of clear, last weekend, wet-n-dry sanded and signed today and now looking for some sunny, low humidity weather to get a stack more clear coats on them.

Many thanks to all of those members who let me know that their Kads arrived safely.

Cheers

Travers

No.  Sorry.  I only make 20 Sets per year and they are all ordered 6-8 months in advance.  Still 7 Sets available for 2015.

Jay, the Sets (2" + 3" Kads) are $100.  As mentioned earlier, I only carve 20 Sets each year.
 
The Mini Kads are available anytime.  Everyone, this year and last year, also bought a Mini Kad ($35)  to match their Kad Sets.

I nearly forgot about the last of this year's Kads  -  the 'nudes'!  I finished these lures about a month and a half ago.  Just been waiting for the owner Big smile of the full set to pick them up.  He assures me that he'll get here, one day LOL

As usual, Sets #1 and #2 are nudes and they are the ones that I keep.

   

Set 17 is a full Set, from Mini Kad to 6" Kad.

   

The year is flying!  Won't be long and I'll be working on the 2015 Kads Confused
