My 7" Beater Clone Stocker Trout

Good job! I like the photo finish, and the whole body design.

Does the lure float if you don't crank it down?

How much does it weigh?

Nice , realistic foto finish:yes: !

What is the purpose of rigging the hook on the back portion of the lure ?

Does it have to do with the term "beater trout for post stocking"?

Sorry , but English is not my motherlanguage , so I am not familiar with many terms:o !

The lure weighs about 2 oz. It has a rate of fall of about 4' per sec and eventually hit's bottom. The reason for the hook placement is for that reason. I can bounce it off the bottom, and it swims up, and back down. The lip was a solution to a problem I later solved anyways. I have a few versions without a lip, that sink and retrieve in a really nice swimming action. A prototype is on it's way for testing as we speak.

By the way..."Beater Trout" means looking like it just got out of a long long truck ride. If you catch my meaning.

@ Lili Man

Thanks a lot for your explanation , I can understand about the meaning of that term now . Live and learn:wink: !

Smart idea trying to resemble a fish in that stage of higher vulnerability .

What did you use for the fins and tail?

That lure looks so cool.
