Bob, that minnow is finicky!.. Even a snap swivel throws the action off, not sure what a hook would do to it??

Might be the lighting, but the minnow is actually yellow.... Baby bass is a good idea!

Thats a good point Bob!... Which means getting out of my new shop and onto the lake!

You could try wire, or braid, i dont really know =) . I have seen a design sortof like this in a bass pro or something but i couldnt find it for the life of me. It was a sliding crank with a sinking spook behind it, for redfish i think. it looked like you fished it like a crank/jerkbait, but stopped and the spook sank below to catch potential followers. it might be fun to try a design like this. I dont know =D . I really like this one! its a cool innovative design that looks like the bass would just hammer. Great job!

Thanks Jonister!... Ive never seen one either, ive seen plenty of tandem baits, but most of them are matching sizes.. I wanted to create a feeding/competition action...

I came up with the idea one day when i bought each of my dogs a big tasty bone.... None of them wanted their bone, but instead kept trying to steal the other bones... It ended in chaos, 4 dogs fighting and 4 tasty bones laying on the floor..... So i threw the bones away... Dumb dogs!

Oh yea, my point??

Sometimes an easy meal isnt tempting enough, weve all seen days like that on the water.... Hopefully the minnow will represent the "unwanted bone"

The mono works fine, but when tying 2 knots on the same line its next to impossible to get the exact length i want every time... Plus i wouldnt mind something that looks a little neater

I was hoping one of the fly tyers would chime in... Id assume they have the most knowledge about leaders on this site

Thats good idea Bob!.... You would figure that would have dawned on me seeing as how ive been making those line thru cranks... That would also save me time and weight!

Bob.... Shhhhhhh!

I havnt gotten to that one yet... But i will (and more)
