jointed lures

Very nice!

Great lure, I gave it 5 Stars.. Is it wood or a hard plastic body you poured by mold yourself?.. Looks like wood grain on the sides.. Just curious.. Reminds me of the 22nd Century Triple Trout, especially w/the tail.. Sure would like to find someone on here capable of making tails like that !..

Sweet work..

if you would please tell me what did you use to join each section, also where did you find the tail piece. also what kind of wood do you use to make swim baits, thanks leroy

I'm sorry to take so long to answer you guys. That trout is actually a 12" lure, and weighs over 4 ozs. It's a bear to throw, but it swims great, fast or slow.

It's made from poplar, with cotter pin and stainless steel wire hinges.

The tail is an actual Triple Trout replacement tail, which I bought from Performance Tackle in Long Beach, CA. I buy them over the phone with a credit card, and they ship UPS, if I remember correctly. Their phone number is (714) 826-1400. They are way back ordered now, and don't have a clue when they'll have more. The Triple Trout is really popular, and the tails are in demand.

I'll post a picture of the finished lure as soon as I can.
