Nice Work , for ur first time.

May i ask where u found the knock offs?

May i ask where u found the knock offs?

One of TU members and adverstisers, Mike Vann, vanndalizer.com and here crankbaitcomponents.com. buy the kit, for a dollar more you get eyes, hooks and split rings and clamshell case. Cannot beat it.

Sebile says his swim because of the small head design, not true. These swim exactly like magic swimmer. slow sink, i add rubber core sinkers to the line for depth. M.S. swim not side to side but rock and roll, pitch and yaw and then on the joints serpentine. Others like True tungsten or BBZ-1 swim side to side. These remind me of Rapala action with serpentine action added.

Excellent first time results... It gets easier the more you do it and you will improve with each new lure you paint too, thats the great part of lurepainting!.. Now you have racks, jigs, & templates ready for your next attempt so it will be easier and less time consuming too..

I have some of this same lure from crankbait components also, . I think they swim better because there is a slightly wider gap in the joint sections..The wider joint gap seems to give the sections a little more room to freely move side to side..Who knows for sure, but the swim action is excellent at any retrieve speed.. I'll buy more for certain..
