Swimbait tail experiment, Adding a tail to a swimbait lure  

Franko, your channel should have a much higher viewer base. You give more solid information about lure design and a complete top-down build from start to finish of the process. I have learned so much from you and truly believe that EVERYONE who makes lures should be subscribed to your channel! You do such a wonderful job of passing along knowledge that this should count towards accredited hours.

Hello can't wait to see a new lure making video tomorrow Friday 🎣 👍 I love this fishing lures so much beautiful beautiful colors 🎣👍 I wish you could make me one of this fishing lures for Pier fishing 🎣

Good to see you back.

I'm in the process of designing a 3-piece swimbait. I just re-watched parts 1 & 2 or your Swimbait Master Class, and this episode was icing on the cake for me! Thanks again Franko.

In my country Italy we have a say: "one hundred you think, one thousand you do"... May sounds mean less in English however, Franco, a volcano of ideas that never rests, simply genius!!!!!

Another great video! Keep 'em coming, I'm learning more each time!

I've never thought of using fiber for the tail

You are the best for the job at lure. Ivan, Venice.

Looks like the tail actually helped stabilize the lure and reduced the back and forth motion but it still had good wobble to it.

Wow I wish we lived closer so we could collaborate on a few things. I have a ton of ideas and don't have the knowledge to make them.

Looks like the tail takes out some side to side action from the middle section and kind of transfers it throughout the whole lure to the tie on eye, maybe it would work a bit better on 3 or 4 part lure (tail included into nuber of parts) and transfer that action more on the 1st hinge. Still, this is some really nice action and that paint job is fantastic.

Great content (as per usual)

If a hard tail can take a little action out of the swim, could a little paddle tail put more action into the swim?

Franko another great video. Would it help if the tail were made from silicone or plastisol? Love the design of the two piece.

Could you use your tail mold with some of the resilient super stretch soft bait liquid to make soft flexible trails? Just a thought. Great video.

Why not make tail from soft flexible plastic. That same plastic that newer squid jigs have for their fins. Fish wont feel it and it wouldnt reduce lure action as much as hard tail.

Hello Franco, first of all I want to congratulate you for this channel and for sharing your knowledge. I learned a lot with you, thanks! About this video, I have a question regarding the UV curing time. You mentioned you use about 3 hours of curing to resolve the “sticky” issue. I have my self made curing cabinet, but after 1 hour working it gets very hot and I fear this could cause it to malfunction or burning. My question is, if I divide the time into half hours (using cool rest intervals) until completing the 3 hours of curing, will it work like the 3 hours continuous? Thanks, one more time 👍👍

Looking at the tail action it looks ridged if you used a more plyable material would it give a better swim action

How much sheer strength do you think a resin tail has before it breaks from a big fish?

Have you ever made a jointed rattle trap.

Hi Franco, Sorry if I ask here a question out of subject. In many videos you explained how to calculate the density of a given material and, from there, go on, calculate weight to add and so on. What about lure made by resin and microbaloons? How do you calculate the density, just the given resin or resin and microbaloons together? Thanks 🙏 so much won't be enough!!!!!!!!!

I have a question for you if you don't mind. Do you have to have a lure turner in the uv cureing box or can you just hang the lures in it to cure

Take the rear hook off, how does that affect the action?

Who buys a swim bait without a tail in the first place?
