Hi. My name is Richard Toule. I thought I would get involved in all the cool stuff on this web site. While visiting the Bay Area a couple of weeks ago, my cousin and I saw some guys using some really cool trout looking plugs for large mouth Bass. I'm pretty handy with a knife and I let my cousin talk me into carving a Trout bait. We took them to a molding company and this is what we came up with after two weeks of hard work and countless hours on the phone. We are also thinking of a hard version, cut into three pieces with a lip and a rubber tail, simular to the T Rex bait made by Optimum. I heard you can sell baits like these at a place called Tackle Whereabouts.com, but I can't seem to pull it up on the computer. Some input on how to make these baits swim would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bassindick.

I don't think those have an arc naturally, just cuz they are hanging by the front section of the bait only...
Nice realistic shape, but its not going to swim like that. That would make a good deadstick bait except for the fact it looks like it weighs about 12 ounces. But then again, I wouldnt consider using a soft bait as a deadstick bait anyways. Good luck...
