Super User .dsaavedra. Posted February 11, 2009 Super User Posted February 11, 2009 yup, been a while but here's a new one: Quote
-HAWK- Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 Awesome, work. What kind of action does it have in the water? Quote
Mobydick Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 Awesome job! That is very realistic. Ian Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted February 11, 2009 Author Super User Posted February 11, 2009 i intended it for more of a sight fishing bait for bedding bass, so i made it so it sits sharply nose up. i'm not sure if it will have any "action" at all, it will be more of a jigging bed bait. but who knows, i've been suprised at the retrieving action of several of my baits.

THEbassmaster Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 B E A UTIFUL!! how did you do the fins? very nice aaron Quote
MichiganFisherman Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 That is one realistic looking bait, Dave. Very nice work. I like how you did the hook. Did you just drill a hole in the back and then epoxy it in? I must know what those fins are made of too. Oh and one more thing... where did you find the photo for the finish? Can you guess, I kind of want to copy your bait. ;D Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted February 11, 2009 Author Super User Posted February 11, 2009 thanks guys! the hook is a jig hook epoxied into the back of the bait, i got the picture from another lure builder, and the fins are an experimental design that i came up with (i've never seen them made like this before) and i'm not ready to reveal them yet. maybe after some hard testing, but not yet.

Super User .dsaavedra. Posted February 12, 2009 Author Super User Posted February 12, 2009 i just gave it a few test pulls in my aquarium and it has a wobbling action when retrieved. its a slow wobble, not the most realistic, but good to know that this bait has more than one use. Quote
IDbasser Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 That is a nice looking bait. You will ahve to let us know how it works for you. Quote
Super User Jimzee Posted February 12, 2009 Super User Posted February 12, 2009 Don't be surprised if that thing gets swallowed when you drop it in a bed. A five pound female will inhale that bait. Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted February 12, 2009 Author Super User Posted February 12, 2009 Don't be surprised if that thing gets swallowed when you drop it in a bed. A five pound female will inhale that bait. that's pretty much what i'm after! Quote
Super User fourbizz Posted February 12, 2009 Super User Posted February 12, 2009 where is mine? Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted February 13, 2009 Author Super User Posted February 13, 2009 i want to test these fins out before i start making them for people. Quote
LooksLikeSinbad Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 Great job on the photofinish! It looks really nice. That image looks like the same one I use. We probably got it from the same place. Quote

Super User Sam Posted February 17, 2009 Super User Posted February 17, 2009 Dave, The bait looks beautiful. I do want to read how the fins held up when you fished it and after you catch a bass. Let us know after you give it a try. Quote
BASS fisherman Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 That's nuts! It looks like you caught that fish, burried a hook into it, and then dipped the whole thing into epoxy! Nice job!! Quote
THEbassmaster Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 That's nuts!It looks like you caught that fish, burried a hook into it, and then dipped the whole thing into epoxy! Nice job!! hmmm .....not a bad idea aaron Quote
