Fishwhittler Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 Here are some more baits. A couple cranks, a walking bait, and another swim/wake bait. Quote
Steven Ladner Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 You've been busy. I like the "little john type" eyes you put on some of them. Another nice swimbait Quote
BIG M Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 All of the baits look great but the first two are very sharp. Good work Quote
whittler Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 Beautiful baits Ben, have to agree with Marty those first two are killer. Quote
oprcsr Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 Yeah I'd love those top two baits. Awesome stuff. Quote
Fishwhittler Posted July 27, 2010 Author Posted July 27, 2010 Thanks guys. I did pretty well with the swimbait yesterday; I got twelve bass on it in three hours. I would have caught more, but I had a lot of missed strikes. It's odd; I made this bait to try and target larger fish, but it seemed like most of the fish I was catching were in the 11"-13" range, which is smaller than I usually catch. I did get a couple fish that looked to be about 15", but nothing that was really decent sized. On the other hand, I've never caught any fish much larger than 16" at the pond I was fishing, so I can't say that this bait doesn't catch big fish. I'll have to do more testing for that, but in the meantime, I've got a much smaller version that I think will be absolutely deadly. Actually the small-fish-eating-large-baits scenario isn't really surprising to me. I'll probably catch a ton of dinks on it before I get one big one. : Quote
