jrhopkins Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 finally got this made with the help of my son who knows how to do this stuff. this is a 8" trout, very SLOW SINKING. had to remove the hooks for the test as we were in a Game Dept. managed lake and did not want to get busted for fishing out of season, you never know. http://s140.photobucket.com/albums/r17/jrhopkins_photos/?action=view¤t=Trout2.flv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rofish Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Tell your son I will pay him a beer or a soft drink (depending on age) if he helps you making a tutorial about how to make such a swimbait. You can leave apart the painting process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
