SK9, You wanna make a swimmer, try makin one of these, It's a Delta Golden Shiner, our version of the Clearlake hitch! The big bass here just chomp em when not gorging on juvenile craws! I use a Big Hammer and the new Yamamoto Heart tail paddle tails that mimic this bait and they work wonders when the Delta bass are on em!

Cooch thanks for the suggestion & photo will give it a try on my next lure!! I finished two this past week.... One is the three piece swim bait 7 inches in length ... My version of a Delta Split-tail.... It's a medium fast sinker. The other is a 5 inch blue gill glider
