made a white one this time. white ones are more of a gray/dark back in the search i did. anyhow, came out good and swims exceptionly well. i used a frog hook for the top hook for fishing it on the bottom and i added a hanger in the belly for adding a treble if wanted. used imbedded magnets to hold the top hook in position.

7", 2.9 oz.

The hook on the back concept is not new for me. I first saw it on a Diemai's lure. Maybe not even Diemai couldn't claim to be the first to have such an idea, I don't know.

But the way this swimbait turned out shows once again the talent of it's builder, and we are all used already to admire his work.

Sucha great bait as usual :yay::yay::yay: , ......absolutely perfect craftmanship :yay::yay::yay: !

Rofish , if I recall right , I've seen that backhook rig at first on one of John's flounder lures , and I'm still sure , that it has already been there decades ago within the mists of lure history !

Gonna post pictures of a commercial lure from the 1970's(supposively) in my "back hook" thread , received it from a friend some weeks ago .

greetz , Dieter :yay:

yes, that concept has been around for a long time. i use to have a bait with the top hook screwed to the bait. it had to have been from the 50's or earlier. should have saved it :rolleyes:
