Couple swimbait proto's

Featured Replies

Here's a couple new swimbaits I'm working on. The big one sinks and has a very snake-like action.  The little one is a floater (I wanted it to be a sinker but I didn't add enough weight) and has a very wide action. 

Let me know what you think.

Are those stainless steel screw eyes used to connect the sections and hooks ?

Looking good, like the looks of both baits.   That big one is pretty slick with all the joints.

Thanks guys.

Wild Bill, I used twisted-wire hook hangers and joints.  I used galvanized wire on the big one and stainless wire on the small one.  The galvanized wire is cheaper than the stainless but the stainless is a bit tougher and harder to scratch.  I'm going to keep both of these or I would have used stainless wire on both.

I'm not sure, but I think it's basswood.  I had it laying around and I wasn't doing anything with it so I figured I'd use it for swimbaits.

what kind of plywood is that?

5x7" pieces of basswood plywood are 97 cents a piece at walmart.
