I am currently working on this big-guy know.JUST a little more to go,and then I will post a video of its action when completed.SO what do you think?And what size hooks/SALTWATER, to put on HIM.             This my friends is a Mechanical Fish runs on Batteries, a toy and Completely water proof.Know when its complete I will turn in videos of the strikes If ANY.I would think so for that male to be over protected, and aggressive for a mate.Could be very COOL to see what HAPPENS.Length 13inches, Girth 8inches round, Weight 1lb in a half.Http://photobucket.com/able2disable1 And Thank you all for your HELP. Click the right picture.                                                             OK guys this is NOT a throwing bait, it is activated buy push button, then set him in the water and watch it swim.

is it a one piece? what kind of action does it have? nice job.

Is this for real? What did you make this out of?

Looks good and well detailed, but since it looks like a 1 piece, I don't see how it could have much action.

able2disable1 sent me a PM saying it was 2 piece and that he is trying to upload a video but didn't know how.

now that i look closer at the pics, it is indeed a two piece, look just behind the soft dorsal fin and you can see the joint. its a door-hinge style joint, like what 3:16 uses.

very nice looking bait man!!!

Sent the same to me, I can see where the split is now. It looks great, but if it swims well too, then it should be a killer bait. Can't help you with uploading a video though, I'm sure someone will chime in soon.

here is a video of it he sent me in an email. he may have sent all you the same email, i'm not sure.

the action looks pretty good, bait doesnt look to shabby. What is it made of? Am I reading this right though? weighs in at over 1 lb? Im not sure its gonna be a bait you could cast well. And it runs on batteries?? I dont know what to say.

he says it's not a "throwing" bait

wow that thing looks/swims awesome. good luck with it.

very very nice

that is seriously a NICE looking bait.

Great action on it.

Great action on it.

i pm'd him about it, and it turns out this is just an electronic pool toy (swims on its own) that he has retrofitted with hardware to make it into a lure.

still cool tho

Now that's funny.

Well , this  simple idea is about to kick off its first fishing season.Sorry that it is not an original design of my own.But you got to love where its going.And remember that it is not what you made your lures from,original or not.It is the final product that you come up with, that counts.Ooh sorry for the confusion of some of my post.They are a bit radical to understand.And buy no means was I trying to trick any one person or persons into thinking,I had built this myself.Tinkering Always.

coulda fooled me

looks awesome anyway

Could you imagine downsizing this into a six inch bait, operates on a watch battery,Push the button and sit back and hold on.May-be one of the sponsors of this forum could come up with the new state of technology and minimize this into something more productive then a pool favor.That is my personal thought to-were I coming from.It would be SICK.
