First prototype turned out sweet! Ran way better than I thought. A pretty versatile whatever it is. I wanted something that would be like a cool weight forward bucktail w/ good action burned and on the fall, yet can also be jigged vertical for deep stuff and my river pals. Front attach like bucktail w/ cool fall or attach to middle swivel (w/ or w/o hook on front) and its a well balanced jig type. While testing I also discovered it looks sweet burned on the middle attachment & you can rip it like some kind of jerkbait bucktail covering different depths. I haven't named it yet but I guess its some kind of swimamajig.

That's an interesting looking bait.

Jigging for muskies is still a frontier. Let us know how it works for you.

Well it works.. I had an idea for a great place for it. I got to use it for a bit more today, the first time testing I only got to try it for about a half spot before dark. Started shallow and took a couple casts w/ it before picking apart the thick weeds on the spot w/ a little winner spinner. Got 1 little guy and then it was off to the spot I thought would be perfect... a nice mid-lake hump. I bombed it along the break and counted it down to get it where I wanted. Gave it a few long sweeps and pauses and it got crushed on that first cast on the spot... even got a couple sweet mid-air flips.

sweet looking concept!! Even more exciting that it produced on the first test run!! Name ideas... sweeping swimmer or sweeping spinner?? seeing as you triggered the fish with long sweeps, only seems fitting! goodluck with all of it!
