Great footage, I believe you have this one figured out. Does it hunt at all retrieve speeds? Your finish on this one looks perfect. Six weeks, don't think I could bring myself to even throw it for feat that a big ole bucket mouth would steal it from me. :-)

Thanks John. The finish on these baits is getting better if I may say so myself. It does hunt at all speeds.

Shade, thank you. I do carve nearly all my shapes with a carving knife. Some are rough cut out on a bandsaw, then rounded with the knife. While others I am cutting straight from the block of wood with a knife. This one was rough cut with the bandsaw, then rounded and finished with the knife. The shape I have to thank my friend Dieter for. Thank you Dieter!!!

Thank you streamdancing. The components were easy to find. Hobby L carries everything except the wire for the tail components.

aaron not sure exactly sure which component interests you. I am going to guess the blade on the end of this bait? This one could not be bought. I made it from a flat sheet of brass. I bought mine at HL.

great hunting action reminds me alot of pencil style trout baits that trout/salmon/zander fishermen use while trolling but whats different in the lures that they use is a saddle styled lip that almost quarantine to give a bait a irregular wobble when its been retrieved trough the water.

Thank s Solarfall. Took a few go's to get this waddle bat action going. I have never seen the action of baits you refer to . Would like to see this irregular wobble. Also have never made a bait with saddle lip. I hear the saddle lip makes a good river bait. More stable but maybe not from what you say. Probably all in how one builds them.
