Thanks Dale ....it's definitely an ongoing process !!! Here's a different angle where you can see the dorsal side and the greenish color better .... http://www.tackleunderground.com/community/gallery/image/16051-rainbow-trout-swimbait-dorsal-view/ I think for the next ones I'll layer in some more grays and silver, as well as "muting" the belly and sides a bit more so they aren't quite as bold. Practice, practice, practice....

Thanks Offshore G ! -
Hi Mark! I don't have it on me right now to measure, but I believe it's in the 2 1/4 - 2 1/2 inches range. It's a smaller sized crank bait. Runs real nice though. -
BQ22 I just picked up some Golden Interference green the other day ...really wonderful paint

Looks really good. Great color and stripes. I personally would add some orange to the bottom, but perch look different in different areas. Great work ! -
Just a little crank bait I made from PVC. Moves a lot like a wiggle wart in the water.

I made another PVC crank bait yesterday. I'm really enjoying this material. Thanks for the suggestion, guys!

Here is a quick video that has a few seconds of the lure swimming. Here is a quick video that has a few seconds of the lure swimming.

Yes. I made the lip from lexan .

Here is the finished bait from the beginning of the thread. I need to water test it to check the action, but figured I would post some pictures of it. It is 5 1/4 inches long, sits in the water real nice, hopefully swims well and dives around 5 feet or so. I guess it's time to test it !!!

I use the FASKOLOR "Fashchange" blue, green, and red ....and the CREATEX "pearl platinum" (white) ... I love how they layer with different colors !
-
I used a scroll saw to cut out the rough shape of the body and lip, and then files and sandpaper for the rest . No reason you couldn't use plain old hand tools though...that's how they did it for s long time Also ...lure is done ...ill take pics and maybe do a small "test video" for it once I get home from my weekend shows !

Well, thank you both

So you finally convinced me ( without even knowing it !) to try using PVC for carving baits. I just started my first one today, and so far I'm really liking the properties a lot. It's extremely buoyant, so you can really control the weight on it very easily and effectively. Another thing is that I think it machines much easier than wood, due to being far more consistent of a material. Overall I'm very happy with it so far. Still have a little bit to go on this bait that I'm working on, but I will be sure to post finished pictures ! I can't wait to see what the action on the lure is like. Thanks, I hope you have a great day! And for anybody that's reading this, I would suggest giving it a try. It really seems to be a very nice material for making baits.

Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm still pretty new to this, but it's a whole lot of fun so I'm trying to learn as much as possible! I'm actually surprised that I haven't seen more they painted in a similar pattern to this, since it's such a good feeding trigger in certain lakes in Texas. But seriously, thank you a ton! I hope you have an amazing day!

Thanks Barry ! I'm still learning, but I'm having a blast figure it all out !!!! -
