Location: Iowa | Is there any bait makers out there that make an oversized version of a pacemaker more along the lines of a 10 inch weagle but add a rotating tail to the back of it...I was thinking of trying to make one for my own personal use but wanted to see if anyone else made one first...so far I have only been able to find the "Leviathan" by Tackle Industries and that is similar in size to what I am trying to do but only a single tail spinning topwater like and oversized version of a pacemaker...

Location: Iowa | Those are great baits don't get me wrong but I an talking a long, thick topwater...I have an original 10" weagle that is pushing 2" thick across the back...I am looking for a topwater that is about 1 3/4" thick across the back and in the nieghborhood of 12" long with a single rotating tail...basically a beefed up version of a pacemaker...

Location: Land of the Musky | Not that I don't want you to buy my Leviathan but Ryan may be able to make you one to your specs. He is a fantastic bait builder and makes each one by hand one at a time. He puts a lot of time into his baits and you can be sure it will fish for you a lifetime. I have a few sitting right next to me and I will never let them go. Real nice baits and I almost hate to use them they are so nice. Good guy too.

Here is my Leviathan underwater:
