Location: Clinton,Missouri		I've been building this bait for years...I'm considering changing out the bottom fin for more of a orange color..It seems like half the pictures I see of a real shiners, they have a orange fin..What do you think?..Nathan

I'm pretty sure that I like it but I have questions. How big? How buoyant? How fast does it go? nice work

Location: Oregon		Good looking lure Nathan............I love swimbaits. What if you get rid of the two bottom fins and then just give the baits a shot of orange paint?

Just an idea........sometimes I think simpler is better.

YOU MEAN YOU LOVE CRANKBAITS?
SWIMBAITS HAVE NO LIP,WHICH IS NOT THE CASE HERE.........
IMO SWIMBAIT IS REALLY NOT THE BEST LURE FOR BIG MUSKY,ANOTHER STORY FOR LM BASS
