Cory20 Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 Over the past couple months I've seen a lot of people making their own swimbaits and this has generated some great discussion. I compiled a lot of that into one thread for people starting new projects (like me) to be able to research. I apologize if a thread you started that is related to building a swimbait wasn't included, I probably just missed it in my search. Feel free to post a link and I will add it, along with any other useful stuff too.

Super User .dsaavedra. Posted September 19, 2008 Super User Posted September 19, 2008 you should probably replace the "daves triple jointed shad thread" with this link: http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1220817220 because the bait in the current link you have was a failure :-/ the bait in the link i just gave you totally rocks though!
