21xdc Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 http://cgi.ebay.com/3-Jointed-...e0e1f Something like this w/o the rubber tail. 4-7 inchs would be fine... How do you clear these and keep the joints free? Rubber bands? Take them apart? Do these baits swim? How about these>> http://cgi.ebay.com/5-Jointed-...92d74 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnie3035 Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 I have painted the BBZ-1 replicas and they swim pretty good. I purchased the colored musky tails instead of the clear plastic trout tail. Too many fins, sharp edges, and the size made me choose a spray on clear. I used rubberbands to hold the bait.

Are you calling the 4 inch one I posted a BBZ copy? I might try some if they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airbrushextreme Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 it is a poor excuse for a BBZ but it is somewhere to start it does notswim the same and 3 of the 5 I bought were weighted lopsided and didnt swim at all I make my own triple trouts I took 2 broken ones and made a mold for them I put a feather tail on it and it works great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
