LOZ Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 Hey guys, this is the first swimbait I've made. It's a 6" wakebait, and made it out of Pine. What do you guys think? I like to be complemented of course, but could use some constructive criticism too since I'm still new at this . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stilz Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 It looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike-A-Pike Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 The bait looks great! The photo would do better if the field depth was shortened... The auto focus is picking up a point somewhere behind the bait. I think you should get another photo or two and post them in the gallery. Keep up the good work.

BobP Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Very nice paint! With that steep lip angle, I'd say it's a wakebait rather than a swimbait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokeyJ Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 He says wakebait in his post. Interesting thing with the swimbait craze is it seems if its big and segmented you can include it in the genre even if its considered a wakebait. I just can't imagine anything in the ponds I fish hitting anything that big, but I have read of guys catching 4 and 5 pounders on 9" and 10" swimbaits, so maybe I ought to try one out.

lockjaw Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Looks pretty nice for a first, despite being a bit blurry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOZ Posted March 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Thanks guys...It swims pretty nice. It took quite a bit of testing and tuning, and adding lead but it turned out to have a pretty nice action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
