RiverMan Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 (edited) I uploaded a video I did this eve of a swimbait I have been working on the last couple weeks. The lure is 8.5 inches long and made from solid plastic. I purposely didn't include a picture of the lure in the video clip because I haven't painted one yet, lol. I mixed up the lure retrieve to include some hesitations, some injured motions and slow and fast retrieves so that guys could get an idea of what the lure is capable of . Anyway, my wife ran the camera so I must give her credit. She is used to getting drug along to be the camera person by now, at least this time she didn't have to hold a flashlight, lol. I hope you guys like it. Jed For those not familiar with youtube, if you let the video play for 30 seconds and then grab the scroll bar at the bottom of the video and pull it back to the beginning the video will play smoothly.

Vodkaman Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Nice job Jed, swims real good. Very stable. Was a good idea leaving it white for the vid. Mrs Jed did a good job too. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IamSpartacus Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Very nice, just bought one of your other swimbaits from the D&R Sportscenter in Kalamazoo a couple of weeks ago. Looks like this one will be equally well done. Remember to show us some pictures of them painted. Good work, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjbass Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Very nice Jed, can't wait to see a painted version...love the action! Rod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaPala Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Pretty static head and sinuous mid to tail action. To me it's a bit more snake-like than fishy but we'll need to let the fish be the final judges . Has it been field tested yet?

RiverMan Posted October 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 (edited) I should have one painted up and posted in the gallery within a week or so.
