the bait doesnt wiggle TOO much. really only the tail piece wiggles. so that is the only joint that would be stressed, and the tail is pretty light, so i doubt it will have any negative affects. just my thoughts! im photo finishing my next bait

green pumpkin chartruese rocks!

i like to make baits when i got nothin else to do.

that would be awesome!

lol that was a pretty good spot for a comeback. i left myself open there ;D

this is the one im buying: http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_20662____SearchResults its only 25 bucks, and it got good user reviews, so thats good enough for me. im getting 7' H btw.

now IDbasser, i hope you dont use up all your boy's worms before he does ;D that is awesome though! i like how he yelled for help when he hooked the bass! he's looking at it like its a monster! ;D way to go and happy birthday!

Dad has been outfishing me the last 3 or 4 times we have been out! i really need to get back in the game

well it swims much better in a pond. i found the lower the angle of pull is, the better it swims. the tail section really wiggles, the mid section has a light sway side-to-side, and the head remains forward. didnt fish it much, just tested its action. no fish on it.

lol camera was in my pocket the whole time, just didnt feel like takin pics of such low-quality bass ;D

haha! i totally forgot your name. for some reason i thought it was logan... :-? anyway, didnt get anything on it tonight, i need a new rod to cast it. my ugly stick simply wont do!

went out to two ponds today. once again, all fish were caught on ***! at the first pond my dad caught a nice dink on a green pumpkin chartruese lam. ***. then i caught a real dink (8") on a junebug ripper worm. then he caught a pretty chunky 1.5lber on the same ***. it had a real nice gut for a bass of that size. then we decided that pond was crap so we drove down to the next pond. he caught a bass on a green pumpkin ripper worm on his first cast. then it got pretty slow. i hooked up with a bass on a smoke blue pepper *** and landed it. it was a keeper...barely. abou 15 minutes passed and i caught another bass not too far off from where i caught the other one on the same worm. dad: 3 bass (biggest) me: 3 bass

me too! ;D im fishing it in the pond i caught my PB in tonight

I know you are working on you own project and I hope it turns out well, but drawing a pattern, cutting your design and painting the wood doesn't mean you have a "producing lure". You have to start somewhere, but for most of us it's going to be at the tackle shop or on the internet, not the lathe. 8-) its really not that difficult. and the advantages are that you can make it exactly how you want, and its VERY low budget! you might pay 10 bucks in supplies that will be able to make 2 or 3 baits, instead of paying 20+ for one bait. plus, they are so fun to make ;D

just in the bath tub. see the video a few pages back. i am going to fish this bad boy tonight and i'll let ya'll know how i do!

bassinassassin, i suggest you make your OWN swimbaits to your OWN specifications so they are how YOU want them.

a REALLY good water filtration system :-X

here are some pics of the finished product (sorry for all the fingerprints on the bait, should have wiped it off first :-/)

any weedless plastic crawled along the top. as long as its crawlin up there, they cant stand it. doesnt matter what it is. they will hit!

lookin good 8-)

makin swimbaits is SO MUCH FUN!!! im on AIM all the time if you ever wanna talk swimbait makin

"...cuz if it was a remember the phone number float, im gonna feel like a real d**k with twin towers on the car." ;D cant wait for next season!

whoa that stuff isnt tolerated on this board! suprised a mod hasn't caught that post yet. tin is a funny guy and he was joking. there aren't many personal attacks on this board and if there are any they are resolved. you should consider changing your ways if you plan on sticking around here for a while.
