Location: Finland | hey guys tough id show you my longlasting new project that i call simply the smelt since it was the target baitfish i was trying to imitate. i dare not even think of the countless hours i've spend with this model but i think it ended up looking pretty cool. every single detail i made by hand no electrical tools were used whilst making this thing.

yep this thing is made of resin though it might be a smart thing to do since im sure i'll get people asking me to make them in the future and also wooden swimbaits kinda dont hold up well when you use a door hinge water will some point surely seep in and ruin the bait

wish there was not a meter of ice in the lake so i could show it properly, i did test it out in a bathtub and she waggles very nicely. |

| Very cool bait. I have been trying to use some of the big bass swimbaits for pike/muskie for a year or so. I question their durability since they were designed for bass. Awesome to see a swimbait of this detail designed for muskie. |

i'm most likely gonna do a realistic looking roach glider jerkbait with carved scales, been doodling it on paper already and it looks pretty cool its probably gonna be those +40h projects lol |
