do you know if you can submitt more then one lure?

sorry that the photo is so big. It was hell just trying to get this thing posted. this is my very 1st attempt ever at a swimbait. I think it's alright for a 1st timer. This is just a prototype and a learning experience for when i build the nest one. There are now 2 weights in the head which makes it sit funny in the water. would it make the swimming motion messed up if i added a small weight into the 3rd body segment? and should i have painted it before i put it together and epoxyed it? Any Info or input would be great.

....All i want to do is post pictures of my attempt at my first swimbait. and this D%#@ computer wont let me. First Photobucket would not let me upload the photos now TU will not let me copy and past the code to put the pictures up!!.

OK. thanks for all the info mark, I'm soaking it all in. I have a coulpe of other questions. What kind of weights are you useing? I know you want to keep the weight as low in the belly as possiable so is it better to drill them in verticaly or horazontaly into the belly? and last question, What is the best tool to use to cut the body into peices with out loosing too much of the baits length? If thats too much writing i understand. thanks for all the info from everyone so far. everyone on this site inspires me.

Thank you guys for the advice. I taped weights to it to get it to sit straight in the water. it kinda took a lot of weight. I want it to be aq slow sinker but, i dont want it to be too heavy. anyone got any ideas on how to get it to sink without adding a pound of weight? Also, when i cut it into the 4 peices should i do the V cut or just straight? I bought my pvc at lowes here in Austin Texas. It is the trim board for windows and doors. It was only $10.05 with tax. and it came in a 8ft long peice. after loosing two bbz-1 7" trout baits, this is a way better deal and it's pretty fun I will post pictures of my progress as soon as photobuchet starts working again. thanks for all the help

I started my first swimbait today. I am making it out of pvc, and have already shaped the body. It slightly leans to the right just a little when it is sitting upright on it's belly. will that effect the motion of the swiming or could i even it out when i add the weights for balance? Also, it is one solid peice, will i have to cut it in half to add the joints?

I've been real curious about how hollow body frogs like the scum frog and bronze eye are made, but i cant find any info on it anywhere. Does anyone know how they are made or a website that might give me info on how they are made?

just broke my microwave from melting plastics. it was old anyways.
