Swimbait Related Thanks

In that case, I'd like a free bait to review. With hooks please.

I think the hooks hanging from the abdomen make the bait look unnatural. If you cared more about realism, you could leave them off though. Otherwise, it's a nice effort. Regards, Brine.

Giant. Congrats.

Congrats. Great Fish.

I already had them on another boat. If budget wasnt a consideration, I'd have an electric outboard. Till then... The 2 work fine.

Thanks SB

Dan, I've sent you a message with the link to my build. If you look at the top of this page, you should see "new messages" between "Forum" and "Members". Click on "new messages" and that should take you there. FYI, when anyone makes a post to a topic, at the bottom of their post there are the words "PROFILE" and "PM". If you click on "PM", it will automatically direct you to a "personal message" addressed to that person with the title of the topic that was being discussed. Hope that helps, and let me know if you have any questions about the build. Brine

Forget that. I wasn't looking for something from USPS in my email. I found it, and they are supposed to arrive today.

I've received no emails since my order confirmation.

So it's been 2 years, and I thought I'd follow up on my swimbait adventures since then. I still don't get to fish that often. Maybe 3 times a month. Most of this year's fishing was in a club and I didn't have the nerve (or the limit) to break out the swimbait as much as I would have liked. Any chance I've gotten to fun fish though, I do my best to sling it as long as I can stand it. One piece of advice that I latched onto from the board was to choose a lure, and stick with it, and for the most part.... that's what I've done. Because it was my first swimbait fish, the HPH is that lure for me. I've since played with the osprey and hudd family, but I'm most confident with the HPH. 99% of the time, I'm running it at, or just below, the surface, so I've yet to really probe deep waters like I hope to in 2013. I've yet to learn any 1 lake as much as I should either. Mostly because of time, but I also have quite a few small lakes to choose from and find myself keeping them in rotation. Anyway, although I don't post much here, I visit often and appreciate the words of wisdom. I find myself at the point where I really do want to get rid of 90% of my tackle and focus more on this, and if I decide to bow out of the tourneys next year, I probably will. Because I don't post much.... I thought I'd make it a long one and make sure that the advice given from the board was recognized as appreciated. Here are some of the catches since. Thanks again, Brine

Congrats. I'm trying to understand your leg in the first picture. Are you in a yak?
