The Dutchman Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 I know this topic was visited before but at the time no one actually bought, made, and used this swimbait. Has anyone bought it and used it? If so, How does it swim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKEYqpHUNTER Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 dutch i guess no one has tried it. may be a hot one being not many seem to be pouring it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Bait Co. Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 I checked it out today it looks like a Berkley leech kind of with a swimbait tail on it. To me it looks like it was made to be drifted or as a trailer with that dimple in the head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rixon529 Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Kinda looks like the bait is lying on its right side and the camera view is sorta looking at it from the belly side. If thats the case, then the "dimple" would be the eye socket. Maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smallie Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Empire - can you post a clear picture of a bait just out of the mold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dutchman Posted May 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Empire 247, Are you using a weighted hook or a jig to swim that lure? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
empire247 Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 dutchman, sorry i didnt get back sooner to reply i have been busy the past week and havent had a chance to get online. i will try to get you a pic this week. i use a 5/0 ewg hook with a hitchhiker ( small cork screw atached to eye of hook) to throw the bait, then add a weight to the shank of the hook (1/16 - 1/4oz.) i buy both the hook and hitchhiker from lurecraft.here are the item numbers for the hooks. 5/0 hook - 6x768 hitchhiker- 3x961b if your looking to buy a swimbait mold also check out lurecrafts new aluminum 4" swimbait, that is the best swimbait mold i have seen. they came up with a little invention on it so you have the option to pour either a solid bait or a bait with a hook slot in it. brett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
