Swim Or Sink? What Do You Think?
 
Playing in the shop today with an idea I had.....this is one of my popper bodies outfitted with a metal lip! She is going for a swim tomorrow and I am wondering what some of you think it will do? Will it swim? Or will it sink? Any guesses? :huh:

BigFish 06-09-2005 04:45 PM

One more....

i think that it will wiggle and gurgle just under surface.

BigFish 06-09-2005 04:51 PM

My only thought Don is that the top lip might resist too much and kill it? Most swimmers have the water flowing over a more aerodynamic (rounded) head......I guess I will find out and let you know tomorrow.

I agree : I think it'll blow sub-surface bubbles and catch! Looks like a real noise maker. HEREFISHYFISHY!!

its going to roll out

BigFish 06-10-2005 06:12 AM

Thats what I think BM but I will find out today.....just an idea I had to try!

BigFish 06-10-2005 06:05 PM

Results are in.....
 
She swims unbelieveable! Just like a deep diving crank bait......nose down a little, arse up.....with the tightest wiggle I have ever seen in a plug....and depending on retrieve speed.....it goes deep! Gonna have to make a few and fish them! :kewl:

bassmaster 06-10-2005 07:15 PM

wow i thought it would roll out, guess ya never know.
nice plug nice to see sumtin diff

BigFish 06-10-2005 08:17 PM

Thanks BM! :blush: You would like it......no roll at all...very tight wiggle. :eek:

bassmaster 06-10-2005 08:40 PM

yes i would:) I had a school of jumbo bass behind me in 1 foot of water, was a trip.

bigfish i believe you meant to say hydrodynamic unless your fishing for flying fish....that is...:bo:

BigFish 06-11-2005 09:53 AM

Sorry Raven yes....no wonder it would not fly! :bl:

riverrat2 06-11-2005 02:20 PM

That plug is killer. Can't wait to see it with paint!

Raven 06-11-2005 06:39 PM

actually
 
on second thought........ BIGFISH.....

i was wrong....
as its both........or half and half... technically

aerodynamics on the cast as it flies through the air

hydrodynamics on the retrieve as its pulled through the water. :btu:

can't help it : i'm always rethinking ideas.... i am a thinker...:think:

nice design i forgot to mention,,,before

very inovative of you...

BigFish 06-11-2005 06:41 PM

Thanks Raven...it is more hydrodynamic than aerodynamic to be sure!

bassmaster 06-15-2005 10:31 PM

i want to see that plug swim, i seen your jointed plug swim bruce had and it looked jucy
