thank ya man. I found that even with a soft tail, one of my 3pc wakes wouldnt swim great, so im rollin tailless on that one, i plan to use a hard lexan tail on a small glide that im building. Will post pics of both baits
Hey fellas been a while, but I have a question about swimbaits and how tails affect the action. I have noticed that a lexan tail can sometimes kill the action, but dont know what to expect of any of the other styles for a jointed lipless bait. Which tails are the best for getting a lot of motion out of a bait?
@woodieb8 nailed it on the head. I have had this issue in the past with cranks. Your bait will spiral from a few different things. One, which is previously mentioned, is not enough ballast. Another is your lip slot being crooked. And the final one I can think of is your lip being asymmetrically placed in the slot.
