Here it is! Actually, this is just a worm that I was playing with. ;D ;D ;D

Here's the swimbait.

For size reference...

...And a close-up of the head (this pic isn't very good).

Nice. So is that a ring worm?

Nice work dude.

looks sweet dude! i bet it swims nice and catches you some fish.

i'm curious why you weighted the hooks...did you put in internal belly weights also?

oh yeah and...nice bloodjob

top notch bro 8-)

[Fishwhittler]

Thanks everybody! I haven't had a chance to test its action yet (or whether or not it catches fish).

I did weight its belly, but it wasn't heavy enough and it floated on its side.

Thanks about the bloodjob! It's actually covering up a mistake I made.

Got some talent there Ben, nice work.

What did you use for hook hangers and segment hinge's?

[Fishwhittler]

Thanks idlov2fish!

The hook hangers and hinges are 1/2" shank (3/4" total length) screw eyes. Those were the last ones that I had, and I'm not going to use them anymore. They work great, don't get me wrong, but the twisted wire hook hangers are cheaper and work just as well.

Thats the only problem with making your own lures; You know where the mistakes are even if no one else does

Yea I basically copied it. I added a few things like the fins on the sides.

Nice! Must be really cool to catch  a fatty on your own handmade lure!
