Looks good

Idea... These I think are made with Perspex. Sandwiching maybe some sondor.

Thats what they are based on but diffrent shape and material on the new ones will try snd post a design sketch

Computer Rendering

 

[stephanprinsloo]

The Bahama Birds are indeed made of Perspex sandwiching Opal Perspex with a mirror finish These birds work really good creating lots of noise and splashes with the most flash I have seen on a bird to date

I like that a lot.

 

[stephanprinsloo]

Thanks Bennie I am really happy with how it turned out. Hopefully it performs even beter

Andre they will definitely be swimming at Sodwana end of this month.

My Problem is being stuck up here cant really test them properly.

Ill be willing to send down a few if someone would be willing to test them in exchange for the bird would just want an honest review and suggestions

Hey, I dont mind dragging something around the ocean for you.

Just shout.

 

[stephanprinsloo]

Thank you Bennie

Will definitely speak to you once I want to test the final product pulled it on the vaal river today and not happy with it yet still has some fine tuning to go

Today we got 3 of these guys, one on a bullet and 2 on my little guy as well as skipjacks. Sadly, We also dropped a sailfish that took one of my DIY feathers.
