Posts: 2269 Location: SE, WI. | A video of my 3 custom topwaters. Turn up the volume. Some unique sounds! Headbanger ran first. Flaptail 2nd. And 3rd: custom dbl flaptail I revisited after originally built back in "92" . Caught some nice fish on this bait, but looks were alot to be desired. The blades don't really flip out of the water like the single, but clash into each other to put out some strange sonics. The 3 baits I used in the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bl-vEUBEjPQ You Like? Your thoughts?

Posts: 2269 Location: SE, WI. | Justin, Yes, been building the dbl headbanger since "92" also. If you think the single is loud, the dbl is just downright obnoxious . Just a bit more maintenance. If you enjoy topwater like most, you should try a flaptail. Not the most exciting as far as water motion and sound, But will move some beasts on them !!! I go on trips with 4 flaptails in my box...that good! Just finished clearcoating and water testing a dozen baits...ready to rock in "15". Get one before their gone! Good stocking stuffer:) JD

Posts: 2269 Location: SE, WI. | Thanks Gerry and Nick......JUST: Finished a half dozen Headbangers. The 2 in the middle are a smaller diameter, which should result in better hookups. Same great POP as the original size. I will call them the Mini's, but are very similar in length. IMO, many topwater baits today are way too FAT, and hookups are reduced due to, too large of a body diameter.

Posts: 383 | I picked up one of Jim's flap tails this spring. Friday night right at moonrise I clipped it on for the first time...boom! A very healthy Vilas County 46"er absolutely slammed it! Next morning I tried the flap tail in a new spot and almost immediately had a nice follow from another mid 40's fish. What a fantastic bait!
