Mitchduh Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 Going out of my bluegill comfort zone and doing a big shad! The detail carving is definitely still my favorite part of the process, want to get a couple more tools to help with finer sanding! 4.7oz without paint and clear, going for a little slower sink rate then in the video. Have a good weekend everyone! 20220204_201241.mp4 Mason, SwimbaitAddiction, Jim137a and 10 others 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchduh Posted February 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 2 clear coats and a test swim later. Only open water is the river, really need a tripod to film bait action.. 5.2oz 9in long. On its way to Florida to hopefully catch some big bass, I will ask him to get some swim footage once it arrives. If he has some good feedback I will try contacting some testers on SU to test some baits, would really like to get my name/baits out there. _zoso, TootsMalone, BigBassMan and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVT THUNDER Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) Love the profile. Very smart move using the brush tail. I absolutely love wooden glides. Own a pile of 9” Shad from a retired builder. There’s just something about a hand carved bait. Keep us updated!

I've cut rubber tails and don't have the material to make my own yet so brush it is haha. Have a couple mixed black/tan tails done that I have high hopes for! I love making these wooden baits, resin can definitely produce more but I'm not ready for that move yet. Thank you SVT!

Mitchduh Posted February 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 Good swim footage of one of my baits finally! Start the new job tomorrow and want to get a tripod for this exact reason! Hope everyone has a good weekend, not too much more winter left hopefully!
