Brian,

Those baits sound pretty good. With my success at the end of last year with the crankbaits I don't think I'll be fishing plastic too much this year. I found a lure building shop while searching for good crankbait hooks (I settled on VMC 9623PS) that sells crankbait bodies. I bought a few including some 7" that look really good. I imagine I'm going to be throwing crankbaits quite a bit this year.

That lure building store is at: http://www.staminainc.com/

They can special order any VMC hook made.

They also have some really nice buzzbait and spinnerbait components. I just got finished custom making about 20 with my "screw lock" trailer keeper.
