Another baby bass glider

Can't say it enough , ....I like these topwaters of yours , .......once I'm fed up with hammering spoons:lol: , this design is on my "must try" list:yes: .

Also like the way , how you painted the mouth(gill) details on the underside chin of this bait:yes: .

greetz , Dieter:yay:

Heck if that only took ya an hour i wonder what you can make 10? ten baby bass I guess.... uh ya that was kinda of a lame joke but who cares:p.

I take it you made the lil bugger out of PVC so u didnt have to seal it right? I spend most my time just sealing the wood of my lures now, that takes about a half, i go slow lol. Do you think it would be bad to turn PVC on the lathe? I would think that it would melt to the tools.

Oh jeeze i havent even told you what i like about your lure yet lol, I really like the tinsel tail, makes a great lil addition to the lure. And the paintjob looks great to!

Thanks, Jacob

It is PVC. Ask you local lumber yard if they can get it for you. I don't worry about paint failures any more. Funny thing is, Createx paint, and all T shirt paints, are waterproof after they've been heat set, so the top coat is to protect the paint from scratching, and the PVC, with a rattle can primer, holds the paint really well.

The tails are made from Krystal Flash, a fly tying material. It comes in a really wide variety of colors, is very reflective, and pulses a little, but not as much as a feather. It really flashes in the water.

I used the tip from the color video that 68 King Fisher posted to add red to my avacado green to get a green pumpkin as the base color on the back and sholders. Amazing what actually knowing what you're doing can do for your paint mixing skills!

I'm going out chasing the bass tomorrow, and I'll have this one tied on. Fingers crossed.

Mark, really like hat baby bass pattern. good luck on your fishing today.

John,

I didn't get bit on it today. I had a limit of 8 1/2lbs, but couldn't get a kicker. Tough bite, at least for me. The guys who won it had 19lbs, and they ran the banks throwing reaction all morning. 6 hour tournament, launched at 5:45, first flight weigh in was 11:45. We got off the lake just in time. The temps climbed to the high 90s by the time the weigh in was over.

Sorry you couldn't locate that kicker fish. At least you were fishing. I was mowing grass and weed eating all day.

John,

I wasn't the only one. My buddy fished another tournament there two weeks ago, and won with 11+lbs. His kicker fish, a 4+, came on a Huddleson 8" ROF 12 trout. He said he ony had 8lbs until he got his kicker. It was big fish for the tournament.

The guys who won with 19lbs had three over 5lbs., and two dinks.
