Illini Nate Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Those are some pretty cool looking baits. I too have been trying a few swimbaits myself. We wight just have to compare notes sometime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savacs Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 Hy guys! Really nice work. I'm jhust working at 3 swimbaits. They r thru wired, and prime coated, tomorrow i'll be weighting them. @kahawai 2 of the of the pieces i'm working on r pikes, good detailed ones(5 ynch ones, without the tail), i'll post the finished work next week... And how did u weigh them. I'm thinking especially at the pike. And really nice work u've done there. Like how the foil photo finish looks. Impressive. @Ilini How long r urs?? Can't tell how small they r. I want to make really small swimbaits(liples). I'm thinking 6-7cm small. Kind of a hard project of mine, but i'll mannage eventually, cause i'm a stubern guy. These will only have one joint. I think i might have seen a decoy fish colored i guess exactly like that pearch(do u do stuff like that as well) Hope i get some answers out of u!

kahawai Posted December 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 hi savacs, mine are thru wired too. i weight each section to hang horizontally. this means a front and back type arrangement for the longer section(like you would a glider) and a middle arrangement for the shorter sections. regards Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskiefool Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 kahawai Great work nice detail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savacs Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Thx kahaway! Just another question. The small joints i guess u weightd them somwhere in the middle. Thx for the info! The pikies i mentioned shouldn't be going right to left no matter where the weight is put? Meanning when i pull them regularely through the water. It's just a rookie q, at least with these baits. The 3rd one swims s action when twitched, but that ayn't none of the pikies (. The worst i could do is ruin one, and if it don't wotk, have another one to spare.

Illini Nate Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Savacs, Mine are 9" (perch) and 7" (bass) long. I made one that was about 4 inches in the past and it swam pretty well but it had a lot tighter tail kick rather than a lazy S swim. Sorry it too me so long to get back to your question. Nate p.s. I haven't painted any decoys in the past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
