Sweet Lure man, you put some work into that thing, what type of wood did you use?

[Brian_GSC]

Right on dude! You're going to get more satisfaction catching fish on that that any other lure you got!

[matt duarte]

thanks guys! ya I did put a lot of work in to shaping it and making it looks like it has a fat belly it took me 2 days to get it where its at now. im happy with it concidering its my first attempt at making lures! ill post a pic in like 5 min of a jointed swimmie im doing right now.

not sure what type of wood it is exactly but its real durable and easy to shape. I plan on covering it with epoxy so it won't get water logged...

stay tuned!

Thats tyte man. You should make a whole load of em and sell them at the swapmeet. lol
Cant wait to see what the swimmy looks like. What ever happened to your aluminum plug?

[matt duarte]

lol ya that aluminum plug.......well it was a pain in the ***** to shape and i kept burning myself when it gets hot from grinding lol wood is much easier lol

well heres the swimmie jointed with eyes! still needs some work and shaping but its getting close.... kinda wish i put the joints closer together but theres always room for improvement!
