MTfishingrods Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 That looks great.Have you tried the action outside of the toilet? Does it work as good on the long retrieves as it did there? I liked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA Delta Posted April 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Hey MT, I went out to the Delta today. No hits on the boat anchor, but it sure turns some heads when it lands in the water, BOMBS AWAY. I was very happy w/ the performance. #4 will be a couple oz. lighter. Check out the Delta footage on utube link. FISH ON!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike-A-Pike Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 That action looks sweet; But your not fooling me... I heard your discussing design spec with a subject matter expert. Don't know exactly what was discussed, but I heard you BOTH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA Delta Posted April 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 OH Bruce your such a kidder. I wished I was talking w/ an expert or two. It felt so good te be out on the water w/ the float tubes. Pretty hot to, about 93 degrees. The bite was good on the smaller crankbaits.

mark poulson Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Proto #3 looks great. Nice action. What happens when you burn it? What kind of hinges and tail did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA Delta Posted April 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Hey Mark, I burned my lure out on the Delta a number of times to see if I could get it to roll out, all was well. Over all I was very pleased w/ its performance. I'd give it a twitch & it 180 back the other way , only to give another twitch to bring it back. It looked badly wounded. I slow roll it, gave it quick bursts, very happy for my 3rd. swimbait. The tail is cut out from a rubber boot, real fancy. The hinges are stainless steel screw eyes. The next lure is going to be a bluegill, broken 2 or 3 times, not sure yet. Thaks again for all the support, Man I'm HOOKED. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Way to go! Sounds like you've got a real winner there. Now that you're hooked, too, try different weighting, like slow sink, fast sink, so you can use it at different depths. I try to keep added weight as near to my hook hangers as I can without sacrificing strength, and don't put anything in the tail section. Hmmm....let's see. Blue gill, baby bass, trout (light and dark), crappie, baby striper, the list of paint schemes is endless. That should keep you busy for a while.
