Spanner Swimbait

Does a lure have to mimic real fish to be effective?

To answer that, I decided to make a swimbait that doesn't resemble a fish or looks delectable.

 The outline first traced on PVC foam board and two identical halves cut.



Two halves put together and shaped.



Tank test and weight distribution.

 

Refinement and cut into 3 sections.


 

Gouging out weight and rattle chambers.

 

Wiring in head section.



Mid-section next.



Finally, the tail section.



The finished product. Decided not to paint the lure to up the challenge.




And......

It works!!!!!
