moveable pectoral fins

Recommended Posts

i've had this idea for articulated pectoral fins for a while and tried it out on this bait. the fibers are sandwiched into the hinge and the hinge pins are epoxied into the body. they lie flat against the body on retrieve and flair out at rest. approx. 120 degrees of movement. probably not very practical but they look pretty cool and i've got a lot of time on my hands:yawn:

John, I'm speachless, no, really...OK maybe not entirely. Lets break it down. First, not only do you build things we could only imagine, you turn around & share it with all the TU members & answer any questions we might possibly have. Thanks for giving back & keep up the hard work.:yay:

Very interesting indeed. Looks like you put some thought into this and it seems like it turned out pretty well. Would love to see that thing hovering in the water with the pectoral fins out and then watch them tighten to the body as it swims. I am sure that is a very realistic bait.
