Jesse74 Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 I’ve been working on a topwater walking rat for a little while now. Here’s what I got so far. Still need to do some more shaping on the body but it’s getting close to what I’m looking for. The body is 6†and the fixed tail will be about 5.5â€. I would like to make this a master and mold it to start pouring a few in resin and start swim testing them to dial them in. Thanks for looking lendaCew, DanartU, SantasB and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has a nice side to side walk and i can slow swim it back with a nice wake. Still going to keep working with it, but its getting close to painting time... surfk9, swimbape and danthefisherman 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse74 Posted April 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Got the new edition to the Stray Rats Family almost buttoned up. The "Rumble Rat" is a beast ready for battle. 5oz with Owner 2/0 st-36's and Hyperwire #7's with .92 ss screw eyes and a thick lip. recessed screw locked tail. Still need to Finnish it up and paint it, but for the most part its dialed in. porkmeatballs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
