DanielG Posted June 9, 2020 Posted June 9, 2020 Well, I did something I'd been thinking about for awhile. I built a lure to test lures. I call it convertible because it has interchangeable parts sort of like Mr. Potato Head. You can change bill, line tie locations, weights and their locations. The video has a short part about what it is and it's build, and later on I try it with many different configurations. My goal is to be able to try things out before I put the time in making lure. Sometimes I'll want to alter something about my bait build, make it, paint it, and find out that the variation is a bust. I've got a handful of crank baits that are some of my best artwork. They're very pretty, but behave horribly in the water. I've got some ugly ones that move like a ninja.... go figure. I don't know if this build is good or just plain weird... but here it is anyway... Note: There are no like or subscribe indicators in the video. 3 Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted June 9, 2020 Global Moderator Posted June 9, 2020 There's a few swimbaits with similar concepts. I've got a Tiny Klash that the action can be changed by swapping out, or completely removing the bill, swapping or flipping the tail one direction or the other. Pretty fun to mess with. Quote

Seriously, that is pretty cool. There have been production lures in the past that had options, like multiple line ties, but for the most part, the customization has been left to plastics rigging. Nice Work! Quote
