Title: More big paddle tails
Post by: Mike J on 02/13/17 21:45 UTC

I tried making some more colors of these. They don't always turn out lol, but here's a couple I like. I really like the black/silver belly here.

Thanks guys. We are supposed to have 60 degree weather by the weekend so there's a good shot I'll get to try some of these out this weekend.

Good Luck MikeJ. I don't see how you can miss with those. They are absolutely perfect.

Both of those are awesome, but I really like the glitter tail on the blue one, it's a total eye-catcher... your work has inspired me to make some new color patterns for my "Beetle-Swim" musky baits.

Thanks again guys. I can't wait to see what you come up withefishnc. Im gonna try your beatle spin rig this year. It looked really good.

I know what you meant, Mike, but just to clarify for others... a beetle spin has a cute little body for cute little fish, but the Beetle Swim has a big honkin' body for big honkin' fish.

Thanks Grizz and your right efishnc. We are looking for something a lot bigger than the old beetle spin. And a lot bigger thump to go with it!
