jrhopkins Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 i have got a lot of inquiries from guys in california asking about big swimbaits. i just finished making these for a guy. both are 7"-8" long, 2.4 oz. and 3 oz. both are slow sinkers. i have finally figured out how to make them lipless ( at least i think i have, time will tell. ). they both have that slow swimming action of a fish, with the tail section swimming and the head stationary. i think the key is in the positioning of the segments in relation to the overall length and circumfrence ( i don't know how to spell that! ) of the lure. anyway, these two swim excellant, will have to see how the next ones turn out. got a little glare on the lures, excuse the sloppy photography.

mark poulson Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 Wow, they're beautiful! I fish in SoCal, and throw and see lots of swimbaits, and yours are up there with the best of them for looks. I hope they swim as good as they look. If you don't mine me asking, what kind of hinges do you use, and where do you get your harware? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
