RayRe Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 Did a little re-design on my 3 piece wake. Thickened the body a bit, added scales, new tail, new facial details etc. Printing mold positives right now for some silicone molds. Hopefully can pour some resin by Sunday. Also planning on molding / pouring my rat this weekend, which I didn't make any changes to. I imagine i'll probably have to adjust my scales where the hooks will likely catch. We'll see. Only printed half the head (pictured) to see if the printer was going to be able to handle doing the scales etc TootsMalone, Rogervang, tblando and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danthefisherman Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 Progress is looking great so far, gentlemen! Here's the bait I'm wanting to enter: http://swimbaitunderground.com/forums/index.php?/topic/57662-85-trout-glideswimmer-project/ Bait will measure around 8.5-8.75 inches long. Hoping to make it into a glide, but I've had terrible luck getting glides to swim the way I want them to so we'll have to wait and see. This carve cost me a trip to the hospital and a handful of stitches, so I'm really hoping it will redeem itself by swimming awesome haha Just finished carving up/pegging the pelvic and pectoral fins. After finishing the rest of the fins it's on to sanding the whole thing down one last time and then scaling. tblando, swim16, TootsMalone and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrhodesBassin Posted January 22, 2020 Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 I haven't decided which one I'll run with for the swap yet but it will more then likely be one of these 3 baits. Which ever one I get dialed in best/ by the time the swap rolls around TootsMalone, chrisramirez, juice54 and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azsouth Posted January 22, 2020 Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 @BrhodesBassin I was not sure what to do... meaning you hit the nail on the head! I have several different baits I am working on also. I was thinking a poll of the participants which bait to put up for the swap? @chefchris let the boss make the decision/ruling?

Your call man, they’re your baits so I’d go with whatever you get the best response on or what bait you have the most confidence in, or if you can’t decide give the option, whatever works best for you at the end of the day works for everyone azsouth and surfk9 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayRe Posted January 22, 2020 Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 Fresh out the mold (didn't sand parting line yet etc). Have a few things to work on, but happy with the first go. Good enough to dial in my weighting and resin ratios for now. BrhodesBassin, dalecutlip, azsouth and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
