Bondy, if you are willing to make a few 20 inch paddle tails, i will buy some
If you really want some in that size, just make a mold of out plaster of paris,, there are quite a lot of film on youtube on how to do it, its not that hard.
All the crazy features with scales and fint, are just flash for the fisherman.  |

| Making a paddletail That has good action is trickier than u think. Getting optimum kick at slow and fast speeds takes some serious effort. Then making an internal Harness that gets your bait swimming level is testy too.
It took me 4 tries to get that perfect balance on my baits.
Pull style baits are a lot simpler to design IMO but the internal weighting is touchy in those as well. |

| The swimming dawgs have an excellent action.
Shadzillas are nice too, I am just not a fan of the hollow body. |

| ^^^ no. I spent the last couple months tweaking my current 9" models. Perhaps next winter as I now have mine exactly as I want them so I can then enlarge all the measurements by 30%.
But I added a spinner/curly tailed jig and really nice large pull bait that is a larger version of one I did really well on last Fall on St Clair. |
