Half & Half Series II

Oops! I just realized, that I never took another pic after I inserted the bib. The bib is made of circuit board.

I like this. I saw the video on it too. It runs great!

Great looking bait JBlaze, good shape . jody

It looks great.

Have you tried it with just the curly tail? I think the body of the grub may be damping down the swimming action.

Mark, I think you are right. I havn't tried that. That is a good idea. I really like the way the head on this one hammers so I am planning on making another one with the hook attached by a split ring that way I can test it with different length hooks and grubs. Hopefuly this will get the rest of it moving. I will give your suggestion a try first.

John, looks good. I agree with Mark regarding the alternate tail. I think it would give the bait even more action. The gill paint is awesome.

Mark and bbduc, did what you suggested with the grub body. You were right it did give the lure more and better action. I replaced the first video with the new tub swim test. It also had one other benefit. I can now hear the body sections clacking against each other. Its not a hard sound like a rattle but a very distinct thud.

It will catch fish! I wonder how it would look with something like a Zoom twin-tail spinnerbait trailer...Nice execution on a bait with which you could really pick apart the heavy cover!

Dean

Thanks Dean for the confidence booster. I too think it will catch fish. Good Idea on the twin-tail I hadn't thought of that. Its small body should offer less resistance in the water and give it even more action. I will give it a try. Last year I found a cove that is loaded with brush piles and had some good bass in it. I lost several cranks in that stuff. I will be giving this one a trial run there in three weeks.
