-ebby- Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 Thanks for the compliments! These baits were designed for fishing here instead of the giant trout swimbaits in cali. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neighbor_guy Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 What is your target? I know of a couple of Bass lakes those would work great on, as Sunfish are the primary forage base in those lakes.But I am guessing that all 3 varieties of Esox we have here in MN would take interest in those as well....

-ebby- Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 they are a hard plastic from a mold i made target is bass. I will eventually do a crappie pattern on the same bait but i don't plan on a perch untill i make a mold for a perch shape bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigginjim Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Have you tested them on larger fish Yet? I'm going to northern canada next week, would be willing to try them on the big pike up there. Last year the average pike was 40inches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neighbor_guy Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Well, now you have to get some pictures of them in action, possibly hanging out of a pig's mouth. Let's see some teeth marks and scratches in those fancy paint jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-ebby- Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 Thanks for the complements! Is there anything that you would change or add to make it better? Also if someone is interested in making swimbaits and need some help or have questions ill do my best to help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainbutter Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I love the action! I'm trying to make a swimbait that acts just like yours in fact!My only thing I would change for ME is that I much prefer wooden lures with at least two trebles. Wood lures in general make hookups more difficult compared to soft plastics or bucktails or anything "collapsible", simply because wood is so firm, so I like multiple trebles on my wood lures. Of course that might ruin the action a bit having another treble trailing, so that might not work so well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-ebby- Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 I thought of putting two trebles on but i would have to go with fairly small ones so they don't tangle and there wasn't great spot for the second so i just have one bigger one.

scott b Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 ebby, you have a buyer if you can make it walleye style. perch or shiner or tullibee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvin2fish Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 whoa...love the movement and the detail on those lures.I'll buy a few.: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-ebby- Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 if you do a search for photo finish there are some good tutorials i think one is on TU as for the bait you could look up how to make molds because it is molded but i can't help much more than that. As for other types of fish if you want a different fish on the same body that can be done easily but if you want a different body style you will prolly have to wait untill next summer but my plan is about a 5in perch/ walleye body next. And just so everyone knows these swimbait type baits aren't cheap so adding them to your collection can start taking a bite from your wallet (trust me) just a fair warning.
