Rob, Great minds think alike!
I thought of this about 3 years ago. I was all excited about untill I actualy did it. I was even thinking about looking into a patent. Ok here is the reality. It looks like crap in real life. Clear plastic is not that clear and in the water plastisol absorbs water and becomes clouded. Soo what you get is a tail that starts out looking a little clouded in the water and looks worse as you fish it. Untill you actualy see it in the water, you invision this bait that aprears to have a flat tail but swims as if it has a wedge tail. In theory it sounds awsome. It just doesnt look good. Even before it clouds up it looks bad in the water. I was quite disaponted when I did it. It looked more unnatural then the fat knobby painted wedgetail. If you can have your buddies pour you a clear hammer swimbait you will see what I am talking about once you swim the bait. Plus a wedge tail is probaly ywice as thick as a 5in Hammer so its even more visable. There are other posabilities that I have on the back burner that I may someday revisit.
