Excellent idea the way you drew your pattern

I've watched several videos on making a Cicada lure, your detail carving is the best, in my opinion, better than Marling Baits, The Four Foot Workshop, and mine included! Nice work Zim!

That reminds me of the Heddon Tiny Crazy Crawler if I remember the name correctly, it was my first top water lure I ever owned. Gray mouse design. Brings back memories.

I was always told those kind of Lewers are called crawlers not creepers, so I looked it up and Yep 99% of them Lewers are called, crawlers not creepers but I guess they don’t really matter other than the fact that most people call them crawlers. Biggest fish I ever caught was on a creepy crawler. I caught a lot of fish on that lure.

If the body was longer do you think it would have made it easier to tune with the metal wings?

I do because this one wanted to tip forward. If it were longer, I think it would be more balanced.

I have never really liked that fine toothed blade. It clogs easily and can't handle thicker pieces of wood, but it cuts through thinner stuff nicely.

Its a shame that the lurer doesn't move as well as it looks. Both you and marling baits tried to make the same type of topwater lure with the same results.
