It's been some time since I posted a picture of any baits here so I thought it would be fun to post a couple of my new swimbait. The bait is 10 inches long, about 7.5 ounces. You can burn it, slow swim it, walk it just like any glider, or wake it on the surface. Solid high impact plastic and a soft replacable tail.

Here is a couple pictures of the lure and a video clip for those interested.

Hope everyone is doing well..............and thanks.

I have one of these baits, it has a great range of motion and you can get this bait to do some crazy things. So many swimbaits don't have a good range of motion but this one does and it allows more erratic movement.

The fit and finish on that lure looks exceptional. You've clearly done your homework on this bait. Are these on the market yet? I did a quick search but couldn't find anything.

MTO has them in stock. I have a couple and they are very good baits.

Jed was able get one of these to me prior to my trip last year. It produced my personal best. Needless to say, it is my favorite lure in the tackle box!

Jed, any way you can make a deep running version of this bait?

I have tested the bait at a faster sink rate and it works pretty well. The reason I chose this rate of fall is because I felt it was the best balance between sink rate and versatility. If its too heavy then you lose that nice slow drop on the hesitation and it's a bit more difficult to make it walk, twitch, etc. To answer your question, I haven't had many requests for a faster sink rate so I don't have any immediate plans for making a deeper version. I am however, working on a floating version which is really cool, u can still walk it on the surface, wake it, swim it, its very realistic and I think the fish will like it.
