Out last night running a couple of proto-type wake baits,very similar to a slammer,....but different,lol

Below is the Rat version.

What was this guy thinking?

Oh yea,....YES, they work!!  Very slow bite but I did get 2 fish on the rat and 1 on a perch version.  Very satisfying catching on something that was a dowel the day before,lol.

You make that?

That happens a lot down here in Texas. Many fish shorter than the 11-12" worms we throw are caught using them.

;D  ;D CONGRATULATIONS on your new PB!  ;D ;D

THANKS!!  

(He means "personalized Bait" )

You make that?

yup, last night I used proto-types 13, 15 and 16.  Can't tell you how much I've learned about "shape" and hydrodynamics.  Everything came together last night.  The answers showed themselves so to speak.  Now I'm ready to get creative and let my imagination go, my specialty.

game on

Nice.  I bet that does feel quite rewarding.  Mad props on Low Budget Swimbaiting.  

That lure you built is REALLY cool!

I bet we're going to be seeing some big bass pics shortly.

Good luck!

I hope so,....here's the kicker,....the bait you see me holding,....is the "mini"  ;D :-X

Key element to the mini is the tricked out graphics.  The back gets NO LESS and NO MORE than 3 passes with a cheap spray can,....black.

Belly gets one distance pass, .....just to break the brown of the wood,lol.  

Viola,....RAT  (catalogue color code B052)  ;D

nice bait there LBH ... looks just like jerry ragos sewer rat ... ive heard good things about these rat baits ...

Looks great.

It appears you saved 40 bucks, and yours looks way better

Similar construction, but the mini is almost twice as long and 2/3 as narrow

It's very rewarding catching a fish on something you designed.  I hope you get it down to a science and post a Rhode Island 10 lber. soon.  Looks good from where I'm sitting.

***- Needle worm

That is extremly cool!!!!

Don't be fooled folks, and if I ever am able to come to market with something like these, remember that BLOOD , sweat and tears went into bringing this stuff public,lol

Key tip.  Remember to feed the belt sander.  If you forget, it may just feed itself and take a nice bite out of you! ;D Those 5 pounders will be EARNED tonight,lol,....that's my rod holding hand.... :

Dude, that's ketchup from the burger you had at lunch.  :
