Re: Unique new topwater hard bait
Having done the same thing myself, insomuch as thinking I have created something new and unique. Only to discover that it is has been done before. The following quote from Harry S. Truman comes to mind:
"There is nothing new in the world except the history you do not know."

Re: Unique new topwater hard bait
sorry but i see no similarity between de pictures posted and the original ideea (the bodies and the paddles are different) , i think you should give it a try, but the paddles should be 1/2 out of the water, i mean that the body should go only 1/2 or 2/3 deep, if you want a "splash effect". If you will make it sink then you will have some kind of spinner + crank combination wich will cause tulburence ... it looks like a good musky + pike lure  |

Re: Unique new topwater hard bait
Wow, you even got directions on how to build your own bait. lol
The first thing I thought of when I saw it was; it needed to be shaped like a spook and the paddle could be lexan or micra (?sp).

Re: Unique new topwater hard bait
I say go for it! I started a snake with paddle wheels a couple years ago and never finished it. You've got me interested in working on it again, thanks for the boost!

Re: Unique new topwater hard bait
Without a doubt move forward on it. Just because it has been done, sort of, does not mean you cannot tweak your own version of any classic. Let us know how it goes!

Re: Unique new topwater hard bait
Hi Fish n fool
Go for it mate, why not.
Have a look at a similar project on luremaking 101. Follow the link then go to the competition page and scroll down to the duck entry and open up the video I'll guarantee it will bring a smile to your face.

Re: Unique new topwater hard bait
I started messing around with a paddle bait design the other week...The plan was to add a piece of thin metal with slits in it for the paddles to hit and make a chattering noise everytime the paddle's spun.
