FishinGang916 Posted March 10, 2022 Report Share Posted March 10, 2022 Hey SU, I've been working on this small bait fish profile that I've made in 2 variations. 1 is a glide and 1 is a floating swimmer. The glide has a great S swim on a steady retrieval as well as a nice side to side glides with controlled reel twitches. The floater sits just below the surface with the tail slightly protruding out of the water. On a slow retrieval it wakes well and a faster speed it swims true and rides almost parallel to the surface. So far i dont have much time to get out and fish them so i may send some testers out for faster feedback on action and durability. Also I'm using rattle cans to paint them as I have no airbrush at the moment. I will continue to test and post my findings and catches here. Thanks for looking and feel free to leave suggestions.

Big Epp Posted April 1, 2022 Report Share Posted April 1, 2022 Dude your blending is great for rattle can work! I love a good bluegill pattern. I can't wait to hear what the fish think of it. FishinGang916 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishinGang916 Posted February 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 Made a Small fry swimmer for my uncle in a light bluegill over the weekend , came out decent . Room for improvement tho. He mainly fishes conventional so this size (just under and 1oz) is ideal for him to get his feet wet with swimbaits using rods he owns.
