Finished my first batch of swimmers...
Here's my first run of swimmers. I had a lot of fun working on these. My dad got a new 'light' rod last fall so I wanted to make some small stuff for when we fish light tackle. I was trying to come in at 1 1/2 oz, and had a tough time doing it.
These are around 5 1/2 inches, and are right at 1 and 1/2 ounces w/ hooks. These will have 2/0 on the belly and a siwash on the tail..
A couple of Pearl, and pink over pearl.

Those look great! I will be trying for the first time soon, and hopefully they will look as nice as some of the ones I've been seeing on here.

Dave - very nice. So did you end up using rattle cans? Those look pretty sweet if they are.

The first attempts around here
..are getting better and better! 
Those last ones remind me of "fishnets" on a certain hottie I used to know.  Ahhh good times, good times.
Sher do miss her though 
Perhaps one of those plugs will cheer me up?    |
