SWIMBAIT

Very nice. I goes to show a swim bait does not have to be just a big musky sized lure. 

Love the eyes.

 

HI TO ALL THOSE INTEREST, I HAVE BEEN MAKING A SWIMBAIT LURE OF LATE, I PUT UP SOME PICS & ONE OF HIM SWIMMING UP, I HAD A MEMBER ASK A QUESTION ABOUT HIS ACTION, I HAD AN IDEAR & I WANTED TO SEE IF I COULD DO IT, MY MATE & I HAVE BEEN ON MANY TRIPS DOWN TO CHASE JEWIES AROUND YAMBA, WE LOVE USEING LIVE HERRING FOR BAIT, EVERY NOW & THAN ONE WILL GO BELLY UP IN THE LIVEBAIT TANK SO WE WOULD TOSS HIM BACK IN, THEY SWIM & TRY & CORRECT THEMSELVES & THEY DONT GET BACK UPRIGHT MOST OF THE TIME, JUST OFF BALANCE. ONE TRIP AFTER DARK UNDER THE HARWOOD BRIDGE ONE NIGHT WE WERE DOING THE SAME THING THROWING THE OLD HERRING BACK AS THEY GOT JUST OUT THE BACK OF THE BOAT THEY STARTED GETTING SLAMED, SO WE STARTED TO UNWEIGHT THEM TO SEE IF WE COULD GET THE SAME RESULT, ACTION ALMOST STRAIGHT UP. GOT ME THINKING, SO I CARVED A LIVEBAIT & EVERYTHING I MADE TRUE ON HIM, THE SAME ONE SIDE AS THE OTHER BUT HIS DORSAL FIN LOOKING AT HIM FACE ON I MADE IT RUN OFF FROM LEFT TO RIGHT IN HOPE TO GET HIM TO OFF BALANCE A BIT, A PURE FLUKE BUT THE RESULT I HAVE, MY CAM WORK ON THE POST I PUT UP WAS PRETTY CRAP BUT I WAS BY MYSELF, WILL PUT UP BETTER STUFF THAT GETS A BIT MORE CLOSER FOOTAGE SOON. I HAVE NOT GIVEN THESE A TRY AS YET BUT I THINK THAT THEY WILL FAIR PRETTY GOOD, CHEERS SHANE.

That looks awesome! Would love to see some video of it in the water
