DYI Chubby Shad Swimbait

[bing!]

Messing around today and figured to go ahead and advance development on my jointed lures.

This will be a two joint shad lure with 2 hooks and about 1-2 oz and 4 inches long.

I am thinking that the wood around the pin will be reinforced with fiberglass just for good measure.

What an improvement from bait one to bait two. Can't wait to see bait three!
