Since we are talking swimbaits I thought I would post one I made. With all the swimbaits out there I couldn't find one that was priced right and had the action and profile I wanted so I decided to design my own. The action and profile of the bait looks alot like a big gizzard shad instead of a longer skinny trout design like most swimbaits have. I have made it in a sinking and slow floating gliding topwater wake bait. Thanks to Whittler who helped me out by saving me a lot of time with getting the gliding turning action out of the bait seen in the first part of this video. http://media.putfile.com/swimbait-1 Here is a photo of the first bait I made also. I might in the future change the design of the bait around some and give it a different finish and change the shape of it a little to where it looks almost exactly like a shad and give it a better joint that looks a little better. But to be the first bait I have ever made even though I have modified plenty. I thought it turned out pretty good and IMO it has better action than most of the other hard swimbaits out there that I would have to pay a bunch of $$$$$$ for.  

That's really cool and looks great. When are you going to catch one of those Varner monsters with that bad boy?

I am guessing about early to mid March. The sinker is good down to around five or six feet or so and right now the fish are just too deep but it won't be long. I did get one around six or seven pounds on one of my test baits that was a little different than this one and didn't swim as good as this one.

That looks yummy Randall. But you gotta get Adam to paint you baits from now on. lol
