Subject: Jointed things





Hi all, I did some experimenting with joints least season, took some of my baits to the butchers block to see what I could come up with.  I’ve made jointed cranks before, but this was my first time making jointed topwaters.  And actually first time I made some jointed cranks using the “V” cut style.  I like that style better because the side profile doesn’t look as broken up.  These were some fun baits to make and they work great.  The most challenging was the quad creeper, I called the pattern “tree rat” and it’s supposed to be a squirrel swimming, it looks pretty cool in the water.  I also made a globe tail jointed creeper and a flaptail jointed creeper.  Fun Stuff!

That double creeper would be cool to see in the water. Those wings would have to worm in tandem together on the same page. Cool stuff.

Thanks guys.  I have video on my phone and FB page, not really easy for me to somehow get it here.  The front and back sections are mostly independent of each other; the back section is jointed and free to rotate on the axis.  The sections are not on the same side cadence when walking, but not quite an exact opposite cadence either, but close.  The back section is like a second behind the front if that makes sense.  The left front wing will come out of the water then the left back wing will come out
