Foiled Floaters

Right on, these look great.  I once took 18 large-mouth in one afternoon with one of those original Rapalas...great lure!

Its a toss up between the floater and the trusty texas rigged worm, not sure which ive caught more fish on, but the two combined account for the vast majority of bass in my fishing life

Great work! Thanks for the weighting info. It can take a lot of trial and error to get it right on any given design. PVC is nice for testing the amount and placement without the need to seal them like the wood versions. 

I also tested with one 1/32 oz weight in front of the hook hanger, it swam with a more x action, looked ok but not what i wanted... you get more flash from the foil with a y action

Finally got to real world test today at the lake... perfect day for it!... cloudy, dead calm, 60 degrees outside, water temp in the low 50's... caught 3 largies and 1 abnormally large spotted bass (batteries died in my scale, id estimate about 3 lbs on the spot)
