I come on this forum and just look at all the lures you guys, all of you, make. And it just amazes me, no, I find it totally, astounding, remarkable, wonderful, incredible, startling, marvelous, miraculous, surprising, mind-blowing , mind-boggling.
And now you have action video. This is great.

Jr, glad you could make it.

I consider this swimbait to have the most realistic action of any bait I've ever seen.

Great work!

That is incredible, and so realistic ( to repeat previous comments for lack of a better one myself). I've thought about experimenting with similar swimbaits but figure I'll need to sit down and look into the process more. Would I be out of line to ask for a few pointers?

How could you possibly imitate a living swimming baitfish any better than that? Absolutely amazing! You would think that muskie/northerns would really hammer something like that. Great video. Any more???

And I got excited when I saw the static photos...watching the video has left me speechless! Okay not really...it is amazing how lifelike the motion is...I am curious how each section is attahced...mind sharing? I would like to try an articulating type lure someday.

the segments are connected with Kevlar string that is sandwiched between the body halves in a continuous loop from head to tail. it eliminates any friction in the joint and allows for a more fluid action. of course body shape and ballast location play a big part also in the swimming action.
