That's cool. The bait looks good. I think your main difficulties will be getting it to swim right because it's a tall thin bait (probably will need weight in the belly) and the durability of the tail section. It depends how heavy it is. If it's heavy, it'll be more prone to bust off on a rock/dock. If it's light, it'll probably be ok. I was impressed by the cross hatch scale pattern on the back of the lure... most paint jobs don't do such fine scales, but then I saw the posts on NCBF that Jeremy 'Bassman' Anderson painted it, so that makes since - his paint jobs are sic.
