    Default 25 cent swimmers

    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.

    You said they cost 25c to make, what about the wood, are you hand carving those or are they kits? Nice idea there
