Snakeheadlures Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 I took a weedless rattle jig and put a swimbait body on it.You can see the rattle on the bottom. TIGHTLINES David Cox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snakeheadlures Posted February 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 Thanks a bunch I do my best with what I have to work with.It works good too i made it for fishing the Bass beds this time of year. Did you see the Jitterbug swimbait I made?I really want to pour my own but my attempts so far have been not up to the quallity that I want.I have not ordered any plastic or anything just been melting old worms to test the molds I made.The Jitterbug is one of the baits I would like to make from scratch and I am one step closer to doing so since I found the lips in a big size like I want.The one in the pic is a Muskie JitterbugXL that I cut the end off of and put cork inside(to make positive it would float)Then I took a "Charlie"swimbait body and glued it on.I ended up doing this to all of my Charlies when a Big Bass broke Charlie's back one day.My friend was fishing a local lake and an eight or nine pound bass took Charlies life.The hook came out of the body and charlie was ripped almost in two.After that I figured I wasnt going to have this happen to me so i made the Jitterbugs.I cant believe they sell those things in saltwater catalogs.Like a big Redfish wouldnt pull the hook right out a big Bass did it in just seconds! Thanks again for the positive comments most of my friends say Im "Cracked Out"LOL!Because I sit around and tinker with making and modification of lures.

u63405 Posted February 27, 2004 Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 SHLs, That is a great idea, man! never thought of addin' a plastic body to a jitterbug. that's gotta give it some great action! I have a few jitterbugs which I bought years ago but just never really learned how to fish them. I'll have to give your idea a try.
