Hey guys,

Here's my first Bluegill I've ever attempted. This one is 6" long and is carved from cedar. Every bait I make is handmade and weighted and balanced before I paint it.

Nice! I like it, does it have the same action as your other baits?

Thanks Matt,

It has a sharper side to side swing than the more cylidrical body shapes. It also swims in a wicked "S" on a straight retrieve.

I have a video clip on my website of the Crappie in action which has the same body as the Bluegill you can see it here...

very nice, I want to see the pics after the clear coat. It will look real good then

nothing is better than logging on here and seeing a new
swimbait. Great looking bait. New Rago baits look great,
Bettencourts new baits look sweet, Mattlures is putting out
some nice baits (and a few for us northern guys)....it just
goes on and on. Looking forward to seeing the results people
get with this. 
Nice job.

Dave L - I most wholeheartedly agree :) I am so glad that
more and more bait mfgr's are using the site to show their
new stuff. Please keep it coming!

Bait makers like myself can't thank you guys enough for the chance to show our stuff to our target markets.

I'm also a big fan of the other talented bait makers I've seen here, in particular Matt's Swim Baits which are the best I've ever seen.

Keep up the outstanding work guys!

I'll second that Snax..Thanks Rob for letting us show off our stuff.Also,a big thank you too all you guys for your feed back and support..Nathan
PS..Beautiful bait Snax!!..Nathan

Thank you Snax. I went on your site and saw your bluegill completed with the gloss. It is beautiful. You should post the finished picture.

Here she is with epoxy now. It really does bring them to life with that glossy top coat. Once again, many thanks to Rob and gang for this opportunity to show our products. I've added a link back to Calfishing on the sponsors page of my own website.

Weird, I wasn't able to post the pic...if anyone can fix that for me I'd really appreciate it.

When you add pics to the forum, it's picky about special characters in the file name. In this case there was a parenthesis in the file name, which made the link not work. Avoid using characters like ( ) < > { } ! @ # $ % ^ & * in the names of your files and it will work better :)
