delawareswimbaits

I knew I should be posting on here more. I just can't find enough time in the day to post, fish, work, and make baits! Haha. BUT, if for some reason you have an extra one around, I'll be more than willing to test it out in Delaware waters and do a full write up!

First real post on here, so let me first say this is an awesome site, and I've already learned a lot from it, so thank you. I've been reading a lot about making baits, and finally decided to give it a shot. The first one I completed was a knock off Lunker Punker, and I loved the action, I could get it to glide 4.5' side to side. So then I decided to try and do a jointed bait, and I did a knock off of Solar's awesome perch: this is before the devcon top coat It swims great, pulls a tiny bit to the right when you retrieve it fast, probably because the ballast wasn't perfectly centered, but other than that I'm happy with it. Here's a few others that are in the works gill: shad: and a babywake copy: We'll see how they turn out. I'm already looking into alumilite, it just seems the way to go for the price. If you're going to put all the work into one, it sure seems nice to make a few copies.

I've been lurking all over the internet for about a year learning about making swimbaits. I found your blog a little while back and loved all the good pictures you had of this project going on, helped me a lot making my own first bait. Thank you so much, you have no idea how much you've helped me. (foiled, tissue papered, and ready for top coat) What happened to your first perch? seemed to swim ok to me in the video? Anyway, thanks for the informative videos and posts, they've helped me a lot, and thanks for the awesome music you post on your blog, wouldn't of ever heard of any of them! I'll be watching ebay, waiting on you to post those baits up so I can buy one!
