jr1945 Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 tried out a variation on the pec fins to get a more lifelike appearance to the lure. sorry about the background noise, wind was blowing and got picked up in the soundtrack. Quote
guitarkid Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 I showed the video to my brother, and he said it was a real fish so, GOOD JOB! -gk Quote
basspro96 Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Thats amazing. If I wasn't a fisherman I would have thought that thing was real..... Quote
fishingdanderson Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 I saw these over on TU and commented there. I thought of something I didn't know if you had tried. I don't know if you posted the founder on here but I was thinking ...what if you took that side swimming concept but made the profile a little narrower like a regular baitfish and painted it regular. Then it would be like a wounded bait fish swimming on it's side. Some big manufacturers have done this except they don't have the right swimming action. Theirs is kicking like a regular swimbait but with the paint job sideways. Yours would be much more natural looking. You've probably already thought of this but I just thought it would be cool. Quote
jr1945 Posted June 11, 2009 Author Posted June 11, 2009 i actually made a floater last year that was a perch pattern for a guy but i must not have taken a pic of it, can't find it in my file. it floated on it's side with the head and tail hanging down . looked good but never heard if he had tried it. the flounder was a special request. sinker because they are a bottom fish.

fishingdanderson Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 yeah I think the flounder is awesome just not what I think of as a baitfish. However they aren't around anywhere I fish. They may be they breakfast of champions for all the big saltwater fish. Anyway, they look great. Quote
NewAngler Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 amazing. do you sell any of these? you should if you dont. Quote
bassman31783 Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 WOW Awesome job bud. That's a fantastic looking swimbait. Size? How many oz? Quote
Dalton Tam Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 those are awsome baits but I can't tell how big they are. They seem like they may be too big for fishing around here. Quote
jr1945 Posted June 24, 2009 Author Posted June 24, 2009 those are awsome baits but I can't tell how big they are. They seem like they may be too big for fishing around here. both baits were 7" long and approx. 5 oz. Quote
Captain Rhino Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Those baits are outstanding... I am very impressed. Quote
