ABLE2DISABLE1 Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Any one ever mess with feathers before. Quote
SportMN Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 my gawd, that picture is huge.. looks like a sebile swimmer.. Hope that doesnt hurt the action of the bait.. have you tested it yet? I make feathered trebles to go behind cranks and topwaters.. thats about it. Quote
ABLE2DISABLE1 Posted November 19, 2009 Author Posted November 19, 2009 The action depends on how fine you trim the feathers,yes its the same for what I do.Try it on a crank bait fine twitches, after droping it in or along the beds.Not so much for cranking unless you add a 1/4 once or less.Watch the action, you wouldn't believe it when they quiver with the wobbling of the bait.Pillow feathers and or a Duster.Ill post anouther pic in a minute, drop of super glue, not to much stiffens the feathers, set then trim.This is an Oldy but Goody, Storm Lightning Shad, bluegill also the purple baits great.So what you think.

SportMN Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 Almost looks like an archery feather?.. is it? Quote
EasternPAfisherman Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 heyy look at that you put a mohawk on the baits! haha. anyway nice job Quote
ABLE2DISABLE1 Posted November 19, 2009 Author Posted November 19, 2009 I stumbled across the bluegill bait, it was put out of commission years ago.Forgot all about it,Like tossing it to bedding fish.She will swim with added weight on the front hook,but when dropped into a bed, she settles on her belly do to the weight.

ToledoEF Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 I tried to resize your pic! I like it though, how did you get that prism finish? Quote
ABLE2DISABLE1 Posted November 20, 2009 Author Posted November 20, 2009 Thank you; and Sebile, I do not like, to small for me, any how I just feathered it, something different.Flukes to.Would very much like to find more Lightning Shade, by storm. Quote
wickyman Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 The prism color is actually a color that sebile offers on their swimbaits. If I am not mistaken, it's a sebile? If you wanted, you could get prism tape, and somehow make it work... I have seen it done with a heat gun and form it to the bait, then clear over it? Quote
