I figure I'll throw this on some 6 lb flouro and my dropshot rod. :D
A 7" Tru Tungsten swimbait. Last pic is a sort of before and after (they were both the same pattern).
Very nice job, lets hope a big pike don't take it on your first cast! LOL
I don't have a rod heavy enough to throw it! :D My line will snap and it will sink to the bottom of Kent on the first cast...
I think McCarter has an 8' swimbait rod for sale. ;)
just trying to help
And the lure looks great too!
Fantastic looking paint job. I'm trying to picture this swimbait on the end of a drop-shot rig and i'm thinking it's going to dangle there with the nose pointed upwards and tail downwards? Not a very realistic sight for a baitfish....am i wrong in my picturing ?
Perfect dropshot bait ;D Awesome paint job!

Nope, you're not wrong. It was a joke. That bait is 7" long and weighs about 2.5 ozs, so it's definitely not a finesse bait.
You were joking? Dang.... thought you might have been on to something.
(Now who's joking?? LOL!!!)
The only dropshot that ever works for me is dynamite. In fact, that's just about the only way i can get limits-dynamite...lol
