Re: bluegill swimbait

@ DSV

Hard to recognize on your picture(the flash reflection's disturbin') , but it seems , that the tow eye is located just a little fraction underneath the very point of the head of lure .
The front section of your lure is also of a symetrical shape !

After my personal theory the head of a swimbait and the location of the tow eye have to be furnished in a way , that the oncoming current on retrieve would be stronger either on the top ,-OR bottom portion relating to line tie position .
This uneven pressure on one of the two portions creates a kinda lever around the tow eye and causes the lure to swim back in the typical "snake-like" pattern .

If you still want to alter the action now , you should move the tow eye a bit down the chin or up the nose of the lure , so then it probably would feature this typical swimbait action .

Or you might as well set in a smaller lip at almost 90° angle to achieve the same purpose .

But as you seem to be very delighted about this "twitching" action of your bait , you would surely deny the contents of my post here , but it might be helpful for future lures !

Keep up the good work !

Greetz , diemai
