three bluegill baits2
Three bluegill baits from PVC trimboard.
Top is three sections, 5" overall with 1/2" plastic tail, 1 1/2" tall, 3/4" thick, 29.5 grams including hardware and paint (nail polish).
It floats, swims with a good tail wag and big V wake,and dives 6" under on a fast retrieve.
Middle is a surface prop bait, 4" long, 1 5/8" tall, 3/4" thick, 29.3 grams including hardware (.054 wire) and Createx paint.
It floats and churns on a fast retrieve.
Bottom is a Whopper Plopper copy with an aluminum prop cut out of a buzzbait prop (thank you FrogAddict for the idea).
It is 3 1/4" long, 1 1/8" tall, 7/8" thick, and weighs 24.1 grams including hardware and paint (nail polish). .054 wire shaft.
FrogAddict suggested using aluminum for the prop because it is lighter than sst, so he thought it would help the bait to float horizontal on the pause. He was right!
