Swimbaits

Recommended Posts

Nice there old boy. I've seen fish choked on another fish, not a lot smaller then the other. Striper with a walleye half way down.

I'm the OP so I can change speed a little.  I was watching some lure makers on Facebook. Now don't get me wrong the baits look great in a slow swimming bait fish. The dorsal fin is up using wood for the fin. I thought that was odd, because a fleeing fish would be at full speed. Fish that I've have seen fleeing with these fins pulled in for the utmost speed. 

Now, if I am trying to easy the bait around then the fin would be up. I'm not trying to say this is wrong. I'm just trying to understand why would you do this. I could see the fins being made from soft plastic that would come down when the speed of retrieve is increased. These people seem very respected on the site. It seems to me that this could hamper a strike.

Could some one help me with this?Thanks.
