i like the idea as long as the hook comes out easy enough and there isnt to much plastic to interfere with the hook

simp how is the bluegill pattern? an the internet i dont really like it, any different in person?

i would get a mattlures baby bass or two they work good here in MN, also something most people dont use try the saltwater powerbait swimshads they work really good for all species including bass

i use megastrike on mine not sure if it makes a difference but gives some confidence

might not be cheap but you could maybe ask some of the guys that make alot of swimbaits to make some for you try on TU

thanks for the compliments and another tip with photofinish is make the bait to fit the pic you want to use it is alot easier to get a good looking finish then trying to make a picture fit the bait

yes it is photo finish and it is an illustration- i think they are easier to use and look a little better than actual photos

Here is a swimbait i finsihed a while ago- not sure how it swims yet (water is a little to hard here) 4in floater

one of these will make it easier-http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp?id=0051314314025a&type=product&cmCat=SEARCHFEAT_all&returnPage=search-results1.jsp&Ntt=welder&Ntk=Products&sort=all&Go.y=0&_D%3AhasJS=+&N=0&_D%3Asort=+&Nty=1&hasJS=true&_DARGS=%2Fcabelas%2Fen%2Fcommon%2Fsearch%2Fsearch-box.jsp.form1&Go.x=0&_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1 or do what i do and heat up a paper clip and run it through the two pieces you want bonded and it will melt them together- this works really good for repairing tears in soft swimbaits to

i have a pack and they work good i use the smaller size on a jighead and they swim really good

i wouldnt complain if it was ten! thats a heat wave

i have heard good things about these http://www.316lurecompany.com/baits/frog.html

10in power worm

Does is work without the lip? maybe it will be better

im not positive but you might need to add a small amount of ballast weight not to much though

Mattlures baby bass

i like berkley saltwater swimshads- they catch fish http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp?id=0051521123076a&type=product&cmCat=SEARCH_all&returnPage=search-results1.jsp&Ntk=Products&sort=all&Go.y=0&_D%3AhasJS=+&Nty=1&hasJS=true&No=36&Ntt=berkley+saltwater&N=0&_D%3Asort=+&_DARGS=%2Fcabelas%2Fen%2Fcommon%2Fsearch%2Fsearch-box.jsp.form1&Go.x=0&_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1

i am gonna start saving up for one now! when are they coming out? price? very nice work tho!

i go very very very slow twitching a scum frog tight to cover one of my most productive baits for midday

Moonlight Underwater 3 Hook Minnow?

i have a separate rod/reel for bigger ones and musky fishing but i want to make sure the reel can take casting small ones because i use them more often. So my next question would be what can throw a wieghtless senko better?

Just added a poll and thanks for all the input. Has anyone used either reel for throwing small swimbaits? i have a rod that will handle it fine so do i need to worry?

I can get either of these for about the same price if ordering on ebay, which is the better all around real, i would like to be able to throw anything for senkos to mattlures baby bass on it so what reel will be the easiest to use and can take a little abuse? Any body have both?

Saw them they looked cool, but how do you rig them? i like the screw in ones scroll down a little and they show it rigged http://www.tackletour.com/reviewise2008.html
