I've made swim baits with screw eyes and bike spokes but was wondering if anyone has used tyvek to connect the sections in a joined bait. Tyvek is water proof, hard to tear and sounds perfect...anyone ever try it?
Here is a poplar glide bait that I carved out of poplar. The finish is photo foil with a top coat of etex. The lure weighs 1.75oz and is 4 inches long. The lure is a fast sinking glide bait. Also, I caught a schoolie striped bass on it today!
Shiner Glide Bait
This is a hand carved poplar lure weighing in at 1.75 oz and is 4 inches long. The lure was foiled and top coated with etex. It is a fast sinking glider bait to be used for both freshwater and saltwater species.

I just bought one on Craigslist for $65 without any bits. Keep your eyes open. I used it for the first time the other day with 3/8 rounding bit with a bearing....shapes great freehand!
