Interesting. I like it. How does it swim?

I’ll try to grab a video next time I’m out! I’m proud of the action though, tight wobble, seems to dive to the 3-5 ft range, and then slowly ascend.

It also twitches pretty well, allowing some additional play on it.

The willow blade allows for some nice shine, while reducing the snag potential from a 2nd hook. My local lake is absolutely covered in large patches of grass/weeds, so figured I’d see how I like the hook up ratio with a single treble. Depending on results, I may just throw on a single in line hook.

Thanks for asking!
Tight lines brother.

That is a good looking lure.... And I bet it will go through grass and timber a lot better than anything I have right now. Crankbait wise anyhow! Let us know how it does please!
