Thread: New Grub

Wicked and yes.

wow Definitely looks awesome I think a 2 inch would be good what do you guys think. ??

Id have to adjust the body a good bit to cut crappie size.. I draw 90 percent of my stuff with square cornes and let the tool define the radius, with this body Id have to cut small, and the corners would look to square.

This design appears to have like a prop design causing a cavation affect, which is Great.

Have you tried to see the action effect it has during slow and fast retrieves basically if there is a spinning effect ?

the only thing in question is, it may have to be used with some sort of a swivel to prevent line twist.

The guy I made this for, is using it to soley drop shot. A swivel, this thing could be deadly I think.. I was thinking about the thread design the other night we talked about, and if a course pitch behind a swivel would make it spin, lol...

Yes!

Here again applying variables may increase the action.

drop shot, you have the vertical flutter, a killer for Bass.

Now, depending on what style jig and bait size you decide on, the retrieve will have a cavation affect,
then when stopped will have a flutter.

behind the swivel, I would start with a ball type design,
mainly used as an option for the location and style hook being used for the body portion.

as location may give way on how one may use this bait.

Hope this generates more food for thought

I think the body needs to be quite a bit bigger .

The best thing to do would be to rig it on a ball head jig and see how much action on a slow retrieve. I catch most of my pan fish on straight tails retrieved very slow horizontally. I've given up using curl tails.

Nice quality and design; good luck with it and please report how well it does.
