I've been working on the production of this bait for months now, and I just finished the first prototype for testing!

There are aluminum clackers between the joints. It sinks very slow and achieves long perpendicular glides with jerks. One of the main ideas behind this bait is that the joints don't allow for maximum rotation; this forces the entire body of the bait to wander instead of wiggle. The aluminum clackers will get some audible attraction out of every direction change too.   

I'll get some video soon, but for now the pictures will have to do

thats cool! you should make one with a diving lip and bend the aluminum tail tips outward opposite of each other a bit so it knocks when it quivers and dives. is it wood or resin?
