kev_swmbt_20 Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 (edited) Caught two last weekend on two different prototypes I made. There’s nothing like catching fish on your own baits. There’s a few of my baits I’ve been messing with Edited November 15, 2019 by kev_swmbt_20 Added pictures 168 Rookie, TootsMalone, GreenPig and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

168 Rookie Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 Dope baits man, interesting profile I don't think I've seen before, with the dropped chin. Does it have a standard WnC-type swim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah a couple I’ve made so far have a whippersnapper type action and a few crank down to about 5 feet and wobble like a crank and then the three piece has a similar action as the 30acre dirty Shad.

I was just messing around drawing some stuff and liked the aggressive look just thought it looked cool and I ended up sticking with it. I kind of got the idea from some of the spro crankbaits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chefchris Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 That’s awesome that you’ve already caught fish on your baits, as that’s a definite confidence booster! so after looking at your design it seemed familiar and remembered I saw a new Japanese gill bait, they’re somehow affiliated with Roman made but can’t seem to find too much more info, but here’s a pic and company name from IG kev_swmbt_20 and DoomDiver 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m glad I’m not the only one who liked the dropped chin haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trnsfererr Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 The dropped chin seems like a good way to kind of keep the bottom hooks a little bit more "weedless". i like the paint. kev_swmbt_20 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev_swmbt_20 Posted November 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 I plan on making about 5 baits here pretty soon a couple wakes a couple swimmers and some cranks. I would like to send them out to some local San Diego and SoCal guys to start testing them out for me for some feedback and start getting some pictures of catches. If you’re interested pm me and I’ll cover shipping and everything only thing I ask in return is some feedback and some pictures. Here are some action videos IMG_2309.MOV IMG_2310.MOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
