Catfish swimbait

Here's a swimbait I just finished up for a customer. It's 5 3/4" long and it weighs 1oz.

Let me know what you think.

Definitely an interesting idea, would like to know how well it works

looks good

just realized theres only one hook hanger. why didn't you put 2 hook hangers on a 5.75" bait??

Looks sweet!

A great looking swimmer there Ben. That single hook system will work just fine, it just needs to be a couple sizes larger.

Thanks guys.

I was going to put a hook on the tail section but the fin would have been in the way. Also, I wasn't sure if it would deaden the action any. If I build any more I'll probably put a second hook on the tail behind the belly fin but I'll use a size smaller than the front hook. Or I may just put on a larger hook. I might have on this one, but the only hooks that I had that were larger than the hook I did use were 5/0, and I used a size 2.

thats a nice bait . i always wondered why none of the big swimbait makers never made that many (if any at all) catfish swim baits . in a lake i fish , i have personally seen alot of bass eat young catfish very aggresively . again , nice bait and good species choice , im positive it will get hammered

Great attention to detail.But you could mold some soft plastic fins for an idea.
