Fishwhittler Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 Here's something a little different, the "PacMan" popper/diver. 3" crank Big popper. Tried a new paint pattern on this one... 3" fat crank 5" jitterbug knock-off 4" pikie minnow This one's for my sister for her birthday. Maybe I'll actually let her fish it... Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted August 25, 2009 Super User Posted August 25, 2009 cool baits, very original like always! how's the action on that jitterbug? from the picture the lip appears to just be bent in half, not "cupped" like a regular jitterbug lip. i'm wondering how this affects the action.... i really like that new "tiger" looking paintjob too Quote
whittler Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 Exceptional work there Ben. Like your bold color combinations. Now that swimbait may be a sissy looking bait but I'll bet it is a bass magnet. Keep up the carving your baits get better every time you post. Quote
Super User islandbass Posted August 26, 2009 Super User Posted August 26, 2009 Man, is that impressive work. I have been considering trying metal for lips on future crankbaits. Have you noted any differences in action between metal vs. lexan lips? Thanks. I don't know why, but I have a sudden urge to eat skittles. Quote
Fishwhittler Posted August 26, 2009 Author Posted August 26, 2009 Thanks guys. Dave, the action on my jitterbug is about the same as a standard 'bug. Islandbass, lexan will usually give a better action than a metal bill of the same size and shape but the metal bill will run deeper. Quote
nrgeek Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 cool .. I like your sisters bday gift best .. ;D Quote
