bg64vw Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Was thinking of making a Suick styled jerk bait but wasn't sure what the best way to tackle it? Is it a lathe turned lure thats cut down or maybe made with a flat piece of wood. I'm sure it could be done either way but was curious as to the best method.

Vodkaman Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 I just looked at a few Google images. Assuming the bait with the hollow under the chin. This is not a lathe bait, I suggest start with square section. I would be using my belt sander for this one. Interesting looking bait. I can see a walk the dog with a rolling shimmer from the under chin shape. My first thought was that it was intended as a falling bait, but I saw a video with Mr Suick and he said that it was not. The standard WTD lure does not put any vibration out, it glides between pulls, whereas the Suick will put out a shimmering vibration as it glides. This could make the difference - clever design.

Musky Glenn Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Suick's are a pull and rise bait with a flat metal tail. They really don't have much action to them. They are usually used over grass or veg. and are intended to sink on the pull a couple of feet. They rise slowly as you crank in the slack to start the next pull. Killer on Muskies.

fatfingers Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 The Suick is poetry. It is not a glider and it is not walk the dog bait. Back before I made my own baits, I owned a few Suicks that had the magic juice. Muskies would smash them so hard you could hear the bait scream in agony. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
