Some Hardbaits

A half dozen new ones waiting for their first coat of epoxy, which will go on this afternoon.

2 Hellhounds, The left one is in a new color called Crazy Northern Lights and the right one is in one of my field tester's inspired color he calls Upside Down Firetiger.

The 2 in the center are the front parts of what will be a long tail swimbait when finished and they both are in the very popular Dr. Carp color.

The 2 swimmers in the right of the photo are 9" Super Swimmers, they are very, very similar to a Sebile Magic Swimmer, in both size and action. The left one is painted in a new orange sucker color and the right one is a Dr.Carp. While most folks fish these with a straight swimming retrieve, these are a real sleeper when used as a twitch bait. Just by different rod manipulations they can be made to have a side to side walk much like a gliding jerkbait, a random go any where action like a soft plastic twitch bait or on a pull and pause retrieve they swim along and when you pause they turn almost around backwards and suspend momentarily before slowly starting to sink. That turn around on the pause,is a very good trigger on following fish, it's like they turn around to see what is about to eat them.
