I thought i attached the image file. Guess not woops

Hi again guys. I want to update you all on what how far i have gotten. This is a 5 inch prototype made from pvc. Its really rough and not sanded down well but thats kind of how all my lures are lol. Notice the tail. It is a wedge shape similar to a huddleston. I tested the lure out this morning and it really does look like a spy bait (robn510 mentioned spybaits) and the tail provides a tiny little wag. Any critiques would be welcome. Now the question i have is, does the tail provide enough wag or too little? Im going to make a bigger tail and test it out to see the difference. Peace all

Thanks for the tips. Ill keep that in mind when im making my lures. Infact the one im making right now has a nice subtle action i just cant get the balancing right;(. Thanks for the input

Another idea i need to mess around with! Thanks

Yeah i figured hard baits arent really subtle or a winter time bait :/. Perhaps it wouldn't necessarily be a winter time bait but the idea does interest me. I might just mess around with it anyways and ill show you all what i come up with. Thanks for your insight!

Ill keep that in mind! Thank you for clearing that up for meCheers

Also, could you tell me how to post pictures on this forum im sure its been asked a million times but i cant seem to figure it out! I want to show you my swimbaits or should i post that in the gallery?

Wow i remember coming across your videos a long long time ago! It was before i even thought of making lures! It looks fantastic sir. Thanks for the advice ill be sure to keep that in mind! Thank you

Yes you will find that they are relatively easy to make and with a little research on this website you should be all set. I love using PVC board its so easy to use when you compare it to wood. It will make your lure making experience much less stressfull - TRUST ME . Ill be sure to show you what i have made when i get around to it. Thanks for chimming in

This is true. I have gotten into bait making recently and swimbaits are the most fun to make. All my swimbaits i have made so far are satisfactoy. Ill post a picture when i get the chance. Thanks for giving your 2 cents!

Id also like to add that these wedge tailed swimbaits could be a topic itself. Some examples of this kind of swimbait is ABT wagtail or a "kick a mullet". If anyone has made any lure like this id love to see it. Thanks all

Thinking about hard swimbaits for winter time. Im thinking about a sinking hard swimbait that can be retrieved pretty slow and has subtle action. I have seen hard swimbaits with a huddleston swimbait type tail which is something i might start tinkering with when i make my own. Anyone have any ideas of good winter time swimbaits?
