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. :ThumbsUpQuote:

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. :dono
Hope this generates more food for thought :confused:

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

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

Now here again to much body may stabilize the action and you have a
a twister tail
Again Hard Call to make :scratchhead
Guess you could always attach some plastic to the original bait body and give it a trial and error run first to see it's effect.

The body would have to be adjusted, But IMO, all the body will do on this bait is provide a place for the hook.
