Here is another quite simple pullbait prototype , that I made last year after a sketch from a friend , hence I've named it "Rolf's Wiggler" .
The lure is made of a teakwood kitchen cutting board , 5" in length and 4/5" wide , tapered down the tail .
Back and belly of the lure are fully rounded off , the front lip portion remains plane .
The bait is rigged with screw eyes and weighted in a way , so that just the entire length of the back portion would slightly stick out of the water's surface at rest , the weight is located at deepest part of its belly , just ahead of the belly eyelet .
Fished the lure for the first time last weekend , best way is to employ long sweeps of rod and pause , the bait would then dive to 2 to 3 feet down and swim in a pronounced "wave" pattern , causing very strong vibrations , that can be clearly felt in the rod hand .
Haven't caught on it that day , but my friend Rolf recommended it to be a good catcher , so I am quite convinced about it , and I am going to launch a few more in different colors .
