Re: My attempt at a Gizzard Shad Swimbait...(work in progress!)

I agree with Mountain Man about the section sizes. That has been my experience, too.
Mountain Man, when you figure out why it swims better, let me know. I sure don't know why, but I think it may have to do with the head being rear weighted, which makes it unstable. The back of the section is heavier, so it moves more slowly than the front, initiating the swimming motion. And yet it is big enough to "anchor" the S, and allow the other sections to "flap" in the current flow behind it.
When I've made equal section lures, they only swim at certain very limited speed ranges. Too slow or too fast, and they don't swim.
