lure for seabass

theres a few estuaries i know that hold a good hed of bass,and the areas are breeding grounds for flat fish,so i decided to try and make a small flatfish lure!
the top is a hard wood carved by hand and sanded,the fins and the undeside are lead roofing sheet cut and shaped then the body affixed.
when the line atatchment eye is situated 3/5 up on the underside it will hopefully 'kite' in the current.
heres a few pics before painting:

cheers mate!

how long is it?

personally i would put something on it to disturb the sea bed, as generally flat fish only give themselves away when they begin to move

it also looks very very good!
