  • The Magic Swimmer has been around for a while is an excellent bait but I wanted to improve it just a bit. In this video I show you how to make a swimbait that is as good or better than anything you can buy.

    Just as a follow up...first: the finished weight of the lure was 31.23g, that's about 1g above the design weight. Second: that big bass was a victim of either a gator or a big gar.

    Just to shoot the stuff, my dad passed away a few months ago, and going through his stuff I found a bunch of lures he made. He made mostly surf casting plugs, but I found a few crankbaits too, he copied this old jointed Mirrolure (discontinued) that I found in the same box. With a bit of tuning and a split shot in belly of the front section, I got one to work really nice. So I sanded it down to bare wood, soaked it in thinned Helmsman Urethane, and painted it silver and white. I used it trolling the other day and caught a 9lb brown trout on it. It meant a lot to me.

    Been feeling confident in my bait making lately like “I think I understand this stuff”.

    Kind sir: What an excellent job on that lure!!! Your video production and editing skills are phenomenal; that’s coming from an individual whose degree is in radio/TV/film. Please keep the videos coming!!! Take care, be safe, best wishes and God bless!!! Chuck Knight from Buffalo, Texas. 👨‍🌾✝️🙏🖖

    Wow you took me back to my Aero course in 1983 with that laminar flow discussion. I am going to have to check the Reynolds number on the J plugs I am building to ensure I have turbulence at the fwd section. Thanks Franco I knew it would come in handy one day.

    That's got to be a winner. You sure do know your stuff when it comes to lures. I'd be so confident and smug if I had made it.👍😷👍

    What can anyone say? You're just so consistent on making great baits. Your paint game has come along nicely!

    when Chip Foose extended a piece of trim while doing some body modifications to Adam Carolla's DB9, Astin Martin released the following year's version with that same trim piece extended.

    Another fantastic blow by blow instructional vid. Thanks so much. I have done 1 jointed lure but not used the v shape. Going on a 5 mth trip camping and fishing so will have to try just b4 Christmas. Hope you have been enjoying your sailboat. Kind regards. 🎣🎣

    Once again Franco, thanks for the inspiration. I made a copy of this lure this week by capturing an image or your drawing and up-sizing it to 8" and got rid of the rear treble hook. I plan to take it out tomorrow in the surf to see if i can get a few stipers. My paint job looks like a 3 year old did it but the striped bass dont seem to care. mostly spray paint, aluminum tape for an eye and some marker/highlighter for details. and a coating of epoxy and some glitter.
