i fished with the finished bait briefly today, and it swims much better than before.

my theory is that the epoxy buildup made the space between the joints a little bit tighter, and that is what it needed.

now it swims at a slow roll speed.

when cranking it at a slow roll speed, there is a subtle S motion along the whole body, but when this thing is burned in, it just goes wild, the widest S motion i've ever seen. looks just like a snake haulin' *** across some dirt lol!

the water wasnt very clear so i couldnt get a good video :-[. video is coming though...

[cootertom]

Good looking bait. That's what I want to try next.

[.dsaavedra.]

thanks.

some things i learned from this bait that might help you out:

make joints tight together while still maintaining free movement

dont add too much weight

make the head the heaviest and biggest piece

test lures before finishing

[CookieMonst3r]

How did you do the photofinish?

Did you add any weight into the body pieces?

It would be simple to drill holes and add weights or create a chamber for rattles.

I am very impressed with this lure and would love to try making one.

What did you use to link the body parts together?

for the photofinish i printed out the image (after i changed the shape a little bit. then i cut it out and glued it to a piece of foil tape and put that on my lure.

to add the weights i drilled holes in the bottom of each piece and stuck a split shot into each hole. you could drill holes and put in glass rattles if you wanted to.

to link the segments, i used twisted loops of stainless steel wire.

thanks for your complements!
