I've fished the top one, and it swims great. The body remains stable, while the tail wiggles back and forth. To me, it looks like a real fish swimming.

So far, the bass haven't agreed with me. :lol:

I haven't been bitten on it yet.

I'll take the other two out for a swim this week.

Mark great looking baits. Looks like you got the fin thing down. I did away with putting fins external fins on my baits because of the baits wanting to roll. I think the extrernal fins do give the bait a cooler look. But I am now placing the fins in tight to the body of the baits. It give them the fin look be no rolling effect. Many might think that placing the fins on a swimbait is an easy task but I have wasted to much silicone to figure it out. Again the baits look great and in due time those bass will be tearing those up.

Pancho,

I put the fins on the bottom of the two swimbaits to act as weedguards in case I wanted to try a through-line and treble hook rigging.

As for the sculpin,

I thought they might make the bait roll, but they are so soft that I think, with a heavy enough belly weight or nose weight, they will just fold back against the body when pulled, and then flare back out on the pause.

I poured them with medium plastic, and they are very soft.

I plan to fish these on the bottom, with a pull/pause retrieve, not as a swimming bait, so I don't think it will be as much of an issue.

I'll find out this weekend.

Fingers crossed.

Good luck Mark. Those should get some attention!! Pour up a few with a pearl belly and black top to mimic a shad. Keep up the great work. I got a few new baits I will be posting soon. I think your going to like these.
