(too big to post pictures, sorry) http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f120/davidsaavedra/100_4140.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f120/davidsaavedra/100_4139.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f120/davidsaavedra/100_4142.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTfishingrods Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 I think its pretty cruel to stick a hook through the head of a live bluegill and call it your lure. Looks great DSV How does it swim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.dsaavedra. Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 well i never intended it to "swim", instead i wanted it to be more of a sight fishing bait for spawning largemouth, so i just wanted it to sit nose down, which it does. but i got curious and gave it a test pull and it does have a slow wobble, not realistic at all, but at least its got something going for it other than a sit-still an wiggle bed fishing bait.

Birdman Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 I'll take a half dozen, in egg batter, and a side of fries-hold the hooks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomah21 Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 wow looks amazing! What are your fins made of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.dsaavedra. Posted February 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 thanks guys! i came up with these fins while trying to sleep one night. i haven't seen anybody else make them like this, and i think they're gonna be pretty good. i don't want to say anything about them until i give them some good test runs though.

Lili Man Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 That really looks nice. Nice photo finish! So let me take a guess on the fins..... Some type of epoxy on wax paper, with die pulled threw as it is setting up? If not chew on that one guys!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
