they get pretty dull and drab after an alcohol dunk but it does work to kill them quickly and doesn't damage them physically.

3.75 inches, hangs on it's side on the top of the water with the very back sticking out. good twitching action and swims on a fast retrieve. finesse topwater swimbait© david saavedra

i'd say the bait was painted black, then netting was put over it and it was painted gold, then thin ripped up strips of masking tape were applied to the bait and the bait was sprayed chartruese/green, then the masking tape was removed revealing the black/gold stripes.

Smith Wildlife Colors' Metallic Brass is a pretty good gold color. its a lot brighter than their metallic gold.
-
this is what i do and it works nicely. i just put 1 coat of polyurethane over my base colors and then spray details and wipe off as necessary. then i finish the bait with epoxy when i like the details.
-
nice video, i envy your tank haha. i need to make something like this. its interesting to see the comparison, i make all my swimbaits with forward facing joints and have never really given much thought to reversing them.
-
could you braid like 3 or 4 strands of 20lb mono to make a leader?
-
thats part of fishing bro

well i've never really used any so i don't know any brands off the top of my head, but it was the first thing i thought of when i read your situation. i'd probably take a trip to the hardware store and see what looks good.
-
i would have probably used epoxy putty.
-
you can just hit the spots you missed but it will be noticeable.
-
ohhh yeah the circular saw blade wouldn't work in this case. if i were making joints like that, i would use a dremel bit like this one http://www.dremel.com/en-us/AttachmentsAndAccessories/Pages/AttachmentsDetail.aspx?pid=9909 tungsten carbide really rips through wood and stays sharp.

i use a mini circular saw bit in my dremel.

New Design Shad Swimbait
.dsaavedra. commented on MR KNOW IT ALL KIND OF's gallery image in Hard Baits
very likely the best shad swimbaits i have ever seen! -
some ideas i have: ditch the pelvic and anal fins (possibly dorsal too) make the bait taller from back to belly add more weight if neither of these work.
-
i don't see why it would be any different.

Question For Those Who Use Twisted Wire Hook Hangers
.dsaavedra. replied to RayburnGuy's topic in Hard Baits
i do what he said ^ -
i've seen some people mention using them on here.
-
i always took that to just describe the style of the bait. i guess the only way to know for sure is to ask him!
-
he says they are made in japan, not genuine lucky crafts. there is no way they are genuine
-
thanks a lot mike! i've thought about it, sure. i've wanted to try taxidermy eyes, i really think it would enhance the appearance of the bait, but they are just so expensive i stick with 3D molded eyes. -
3" pale bluegill swimbait
-
whoa that thing looks crazy. i kinda like it. not sure what the advantage would be though.
-
yeah i've got a Revolution BR and its got a .3 mm tip on it. its a great brush i'd recommend it. never used an Eclipse but i don't doubt its a nicer brush
-
i think the reverse joints make the bait swim better! this has a wide snaking S action at any speed, slow speeds especially... it kind of tightens up at fast speeds i think. i use reverse joints on all my swimbaits. thanks for the compliments mark
