I've been developing my own jointed lipless swimbaits and have finally gotten the design where I want it. Here's a short video clip showing the bait in a local river. It is well below zero degrees here and the only open water I could find was fast moving and that makes it tough to show this type of bait as the current hinders the action. I did manage to get one short clip that you can see here... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQCNGbI_ktU
I'll be painting up the prototype and posting pics soon.

Well, this how the first prototype turned out. This one is 12" from nose to tail. The coloration is not how the actual baits will look. I'm working on getting the California Trout patterns down.
Not sure if all the sizes will have the fins, maybe just the larger one. Hope you like it.

Here's what I'm asking for lipless swimbaits. There is so much more work that goes into these than the glide baits that I need to ask what they are worth time-wise. 8" $55 10"$65 12" $75
