Okay what do you guys think about this swimbait?

My first big hardbody swimbait, now I just have to stick with fishing it.

Looks awesome! How big is it?

This is 7.25" I know that's not big in terms of swimbaits but it seams huge to me considering most of the baits I throw are 3-4 inches.

I'm the same way!

Looks good, Brad! Great job, buddy!

You're getting good at this. Good job Brad!

Nice bait Brad. I've always had an interest in bigger baits (even before the swimbait craze) because of childhood experiences.

I fished for bluegill often in our productive farm pond, which had some quality bluegill in it. On occasion, my stringer was stolen by one of the large bass who ate a bluegill on the stringer and swam away with all of it because the stringer was simply staked in dirt. My dad put a rebar stake at the water's edge as a solid anchor point to stop the theft of my entire catch. Even after that, there were a few times I was left with a bluegill lip on the staked out stringer. I remember seeing multiple big bass hanging in 10 inches of water trying to figure out how to get a meal from my catch tied off at the water's edge. Those bass did not seem to have a bit of trouble swallowing a bluegill, and I never forgot that.

Brad, very good work. Looks real good.

Guys I didn't paint this bait a buddy of mine did that does a lot of custom swimbaits, he is doing a foiled gizzard Shad for me too on the same bait. I told him to paint me a few when he had time. He tried to talk me into bullshad but I just could pull the trigger on that much money for a bait. If I catch some nice ones on one of these bait maybe it will be easier to drop that kinda money on a bait. He does some awesome work and sells a ton of swimbaits. So I figured I would let him paint them for me.

Good looking baits.

Very sharp. Great detail

Nice work!

wait for the water to clear up and hold on!

Tone the blue down and its a solid bait.

I like 'em

Looks awesome, Brad!

I think some Fork fish would like it.

Here is the final collaboration between us on the swimbaits. I know they will look better in person, but I can't wait to try em out.
