QiKsilver Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 To build a jointed bait with this exact shape and size? It is showing as a 10" on my screen... Your screen resolution may change the size it appears... I am really full of good intentions but I want to hear your opinion if this project is impossible or not... How many sections would you split this in? 4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philB Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Of course it is possible. You already have the template by way of the photo. Rest is up to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carpholeo Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 If I was gonna make this bait, this is where I would make my joints Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pikeman Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 this is funny , it is the exact photo that I've used for drawing a Pike template (carved details included ) in Adobe Photoshop , also I've build some 3-4" baits and they work great, but never thought to do a swimbait after it . For sure it will work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockjaw Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Funny, the first lure I built was a pike swimbait too Instead of getting my feet wet, I decided to jump right into the deep end. It actually came out great and it swam - bonus! So, yes it's possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rofish Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 If you use the printing foil technique, may I suggest a slight modification? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneCoal Tackle Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 By all means go for it! I'm with Carpholeo on the joint location and Rofish is right on with the color enhancement. Good luck with it and keep us posted. Carve on, daymon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snax Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 I have also made a pike swimbait that swam really well. Here's how it turned out... By the way, hats off to Lockjaw for his spectacular pike swimbait. It rocks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
