it swims, but looks like a lot of roll with it, maybe a bit smaller on the lip.

I was shooting for alot of roll, because of the side loaded bullet rattles, however point well taken. Its hard to tell if the middle hook is staying where it needs to.

OH, I didn't realize it had rattles

it sure looks like it will stand out and attract a bass to hit it

It has 1 7mm bullet rattle in each side and 1 rubber worm rattle in each side, to help balance out the sound i wanted.

I will admit it may look like it has a larger shake or roll a bit more then the redfin style i was going for, however, fish it in a rip like a jerk bait.

I wish i was there when he swam it, he said it casted awesome somewhere around 75 yards.

No boat, back in the suds.
