think this will work?

hey everyone, i just made this spinnerbait. i had the head laying around so i sanded all the black paint off it to make it shiny, and then i just tied on a strip of bunny fur for a trailer and then wrapped it for a body. im hoping for a pulsating, flowing, shad profile in the water. what do you all think?

Look's like it's got a good chance.Let us know.

Who knows how it will work. Could be great or maybe not...I'm sure you'll let us know. Kudos to you for experimenting though. Those who take the time to let their imagination lead them to new types of baits or presentations could stumble across the next great thing in the sport as far as baits go. Keep that brain a churning for new ideas!  

I will admit, that is one of my biggest problems. I have a hard time thinking outside the box and rather take the safe route and use "proven" methods. Something I need to work on.  :-/

haha thanks val. yeah once i fish this i will give you guys the scoop. im always thinkin of different stuff to use. im not sure i think its just cuz im bored alot and have nothin better to do. alot of times i try to think of something that would work naturally (shad, crawfish, other stuff...) and then try my best to recreate that thing so that it will be to the most realistic extent and have the best acheivable action. i think this ones gonna have great action, but bunny stips flow and the fur is so thick and fluffy that it really breathes well in the water. maybe the added turbulence from the spinning blade will cause the fur to have a constant kicking action.

Ever heard of a "Chicken Charlie"? It's a fluke with the tail cut off and a feather or fur stuffed & glued to the end of it.

My buddy looks at it and rolls his eyes. We were both fishing flukes one afternoon and I had the honors of "first bass" that day and because of "ole charlie", that one fish put me one more than he! (haha)

I would say it should work if you fish it just slow enough to turn the blade. Give it a few twitches to pulsate the furr/feather and then go back to slow rolling. It should catch something because of the lifelike pulse action.

Experimentation is great!  I come up with the idea of a chatterbait/spinnerbait and I called it the "Cha Ching!" as a joke.  Now one of our sponsors makes and produces it.  Must have been a good idea if two people thought of it.  They beat me to it though. ;D
