My first attempt at a swimmer. I used a quarter as a lip. Watch a few videos on how to weight it correctly.I did two very rough and did a test swim. They swim awesome. They have a nice tight shake and they float. So the third one I spent a little more time rounding everything off. First two will be bluefish chew toys.
The whole lure cost a quarter.

The creative brain process of Madcaster...a sight to behold...:laugh: :HappyWave:nice work, I would have never thought of using a quarter for a lip....:thumbsup:
Dude you are like a mad scientist - mad caster the mad plug maker!
Nice work, cool looking:thumbsup::thumbsup:
You said they cost 25c to make, what about the wood, are you hand carving those or are they kits? Nice idea there
The wood was free . the wire was free and I had some left over paint . OK I bought the hooks:HappyWave:
Nice hobby to get into for the winter. It must be a great feeling when you catch on your own plug.
The herring are here, you need to test that thing at night. Good luck,
That looks a lot thicker than a normal metal lip and heavier. Does it dig in more, that's what it seems like it would do to me. Good effort, now stick a fish with it!
nice
Like the innovation, does it have belly weights as well?
Cool!
I just test swam this one:) …awesome… nice wobble:scared: on the retrieve. Floats nice . weight is 3 oz ish
It flies a mile …can’t wait to launch it and let it sit and twitch it like it a wounded bunker :drool:
Yes ...weighted belly
its money wellspent lol WTG
Never seen anything like it. How do you dream this stuff up madcaster?
YOU DON`T KNOW TILL YOU TRY IT .. LOOKS LIKE HE S GOT IT DOWN PAT... WTG !!!:clapping:
