Filthyfisherman! Can you make those in two tone colors? Im thinking something like a blue back herring. Like a silver/pearly color on the belly then green with blue flake on the top?
Another question, are they thruline swimbaits? If so you could rig two trebles on the belly. Run your line through and tie to a split ring that already has a treble on it. Then you could use some 40 or 50lbs mono and use the crimp things, i forget what they're called and attach a second treble (approximately 2 inches or so behind the ring) and that will also be on the split ring. To make the hooks less obvious you could clip off one of the 3 hooks on both trebles right at the bend and push it into the bait so it will hold tight to the belly but not tear the bait up since you wont have the barb on there. Im not smart enough to have come up with it on my own just watched a whole bunch of hudd rigging videos awhile back
One more question, are they weighted? Im looking for a unweighted swimbait that i can work SUPER SLOW but not get too deep. Your bait looks like it would definitely have enough mass to cast unweighted!
Luck is when opportunity and skill meet.
