Ok. I made my alabama rig, turned out better than i thought. Thanks for the tips guys!

I'm toying with the idea of making me a swimbait or rather a wake bait. I have no idea where to start or what to do. I want to know how to joint it all together and how to make it from start to finish: is wood ok to make it out of or is a resin better. I'm new at this, so no experience at all.

Also the plastic tails that i see on a lot of baits (namely Tater Hogs swimbaits) where can i get these or do i need to make them myself? I will take all information and guidance I can get.

Thanks in advance.

I'm new to a lot of this too, but there is a tutorial on making a PVC swimbait. Might be worth checking out.

The tutorial on swim bait making is great and will help out alot in making yours swim right,I think if you sent tater a message he will let you know if he sells any baits,most of us sell a few baits a year to help out with cost...
