Well it's not a beaver, but it should work like one :P I'm not sure how the gap in the tail is going to work? It might cause the bait to get hung up? I'll find out next weekend. I was hoping that it would make a couple of bubbles as the water passed through on the way down. The claws/tail are connected but can be split like in the 1st pic.

I reversed the body so it will slide through the thick stuff even a little easier. One thing I like about the original beavers are the little paddles on the side and how they point downward. That can only be achieved with a 2 piece mold. I have some handpours and don't care for the paddles as much :-( They still work fine though :-) I just cut the paddles in half. You still get the extra appendages, just not as big and they won't get caught up on things. It's not a great looking bait, but I think it will work just as good?

These are the things I do when I'm not fishing :+
