Mountainryan Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 @danthefisherman I will fight ppl for that glide if you put out for trade! Anyone doing a rat? May put two baits Up. I just like making and fishing them. danthefisherman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrierBob Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Holy smokes Dan, that is incredible. Pumped to see how it turns out. danthefisherman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthefisherman Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Thanks for the kind words everyone! This is actually the same bait from the last swap and I've been tinkering with it for almost a year now. I was super happy with how it turned out but wanted to reinforce the fins and improve the cosmetics just a bit. Wasn't planning to enter the same bait again, but if I don't have anything else finished by March then perhaps I will. Happy building! Excited to see what everyone else cooks up!

Rogervang Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 That's some next level heat right there @danthefisherman danthefisherman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountainryan Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 Little swim vid of the bait, font one finished up and threw a round lip in that I had laying around. I will probably end up with a coffin lip and lexan. Needs some tuning but it swims!

TootsMalone Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Made a little progress on the joints. Everything lines up straight with free movement and zero binding. Mountainryan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to put the front hook right and the back end of the head section right before the joint. Not sure on the second though. The fins will all be soft so either in front of or behind the lower fin towards the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took a few passes for each crevice with a real sharp knife to get em that deep.
