I took my first 3 lures for a swim yesterday and was stoked with the results! Took some short videos, links below...
I was really pleased with how they sat in the water, and their action on the retrieve. I would like to tweak things though so that they dive a bit deeper - at present they all only dive to about 1 metre (the big one wouldn't get to a metre). Happy to take feedback / ideas / suggestions to achieve this. Thanks for looking! Dan

Just started myself. Made about 60 now. In my short experience iv found a bigger bib will and a flatter angle will get you down deeper. Hope that helps.

Great work Dan. They swim great. The first video was my favourite action. Keep up the good work.

Another 5 designs had their first swim over the weekend. Really pleased with the results, especially diving depth when compared to the first 3 I tested. Had a few that I looked good as a template but wasn't sure how they would swim, and was pleasantly surprised! Took some short videos again for interests sake...
It's almost a case of "if you've seen one, you've seen them all", but there are some subtle variations in the actions. Enjoy! Dan
