http://swimbaitsinc.com/ Click on videos and then the one called ebby gill. It is a video of the sinking version painted completely black so you can see the action. A video for a floating version should be up soon and i believe the floater will be out to the public soon to along with more patterns. And they are looking real good!

I cant take credit for the photofinish it is done by Swimbaits Inc and he does an amazing job!

Here is a crappie pattern on my swimbait i have been working on this one is also a floating model which im pretty excited about.

check alumilites site they show making the molds and pouring resin (not with lures but it helps alot)

I designed it and now SBI makes and sells them. oh thats really cool! so i guess they made a production mold of it. are all of their baits made this way? I am not positive but i believe most of their baits are molded but maybe not all of them?

I designed it and now SBI makes and sells them.

I believe Big M sells his and they all look great not sure about others.

alumilite makes a mold putty that handles some lead pouring and might be easier depending on what you are doing.

Here is a video of my bluegill swimbait in action let me know what you think.

Really like both the gill paintjobs

5/0 hook is plenty and not the widegap ones

New Pic

megastrike should stay on but i don't use it on faster moving baits

Where is the icast coverage from BR? i dont see it on the main page or is it not up yet?

There is also the 6in bbz and 5in tru tung and a soft version of the sebile magic swimmer

Do you seal the wood before the paint and topcoat? I have heard the slammer has a sealer that is soaked into the wood so the paint or topcoat coming off wouldn't affect it much at all.

I say make sure it is sealed really well so the wood doesn't soak it up. The paint isn't that important but the bait lasting a long time is.

A lot of time i find bass in the same spots as the gills

well they swim good right now and i havn't made one without the tail built like that so i don't know the affect. Although i am planning on making one with a fiber type tail

My favorites are the ones i make. But out of ones u can buy its gonna be the mattlures hard gill.

Here are a couple patterns on my small sunfish swimbait.

Amazing

What color are you looking for?

Here are some preview of tackle coming out at this years ICAST feel free to add more or if i had something on there that is out already let me know. http://www.thedailycrank.com/ http://assets.espn.go.com/winnercomm/outdoors/bassmaster/pdf/FTR_2009_06_ICASTSnkPk.pdf http://www.versuscountry.com/itemdetail.aspx?id=4193 http://strikeking.wordpress.com/ Also post what you like the best so far. I like the weedless spook, the lake fork hyper stick- basically a jointed senko, and the 12in yamamoto worms all in the 2nd link

just looked at some information on the material used for the stretch part and i don't think there is any common thing that will work as good as he has it so i might have to order some
