Horton Swimbaits

10/25/2025

Here in Indiana I never do any good in the Fall.
I’ve watched lots of videos on catching Bass in the Fall and tried everything but it’s like the Bass just disappear-not even a hit.
It seems that most of the videos are in Southern states where fishing is great compared to Indiana.

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything so I wanted to share with you my latest catch on my 5-inch Horton Swimbait.
I caught this 6-pound 1-oz Largemouth Bass on a point in a local reservoir last weekend!
It was 88 degrees but I really wanted to go fishing and I’m so glad that I did.
It just inhaled the Bait!
I fought it hard- broke my Rod in the process!
I wasn’t gonna lose the Bass OR MY SWIMBAIT- I managed to get it in with just half of a Rod!
Bigger baits mean bigger fish- that was the thought when I created my Swimbait.

I caught this 2.6 pounder on my home made Crankbait in a Creek in my Hometown after work one day last week!
I haven’t used a name brand Crankbait since I created my own.

Hi fellow Fishermen!
I haven’t posted anything in a while as I also fly RC Airplanes but Recently I went to Guntersville where I have Family.
That lake is a real mess for fishermen due to the eelgrass everywhere.
Just about the only thing that you can fish with are Plastic worms.
We did catch a lot of Bass but nothing over a few pounds.
We then fished in the neighborhood pond where family members live and I caught a couple of Keepers back to back!
I was using some Jumbo-sized Yum Dinger style worms that I found at a garage sale-I’d like to find some more of them!
One Bass was just shy of 5 pounds and the other one was 3.8 pounds!
So crazy that Guntersville-which I was excited about fishing-didn’t produce and Lunkers yet a retention pond did!

Today in Indiana is is 72 degrees and sunny so after being in the house for the last 5 months I was itching to get out and do a little fishing at my local creek.
I only use my Homemade Holy lures now so that’s what I caught my first Bass of 2021 😃on!!!

Guys it really doesn’t matter what Crankbaits look like- I have proven that.
All of those pretty fancy lures at the store are designed to catch FISHERMAN!
I’ve caught Largemouth, Smallmouth and Rockbass during all times of the day this season on my Natural Wood lures.
Some of my lures didn’t even have eyes and they still caught fish.

Hello fellow Bass Fishermen!
Just wanted to show you guys my recent results with these silly Crankbaits that I’ve created!
I call them “ Holy Divers”🤟🏽
Yes- I actually caught all of these Bass on these lures.
It seems that Smallmouth Bass like them too!
One was 3 pounds!!
The Biggest Largemouth is Two pounds.
Even caught Rockbass!
I can’t explain why they are catching fish but I’m happy!!

I went fishing this morning and used the lure with the holes in it.
I caught a Largemouth and two smallmouth Bass.
I got my lure hung up in the creek and I went in after it!!!
It’s an amazing feeling to catch fish on a lure that I made and there’s no way I was gonna lose it!😀

Hello fellow fishermen!
I’d like to show you guys some crankbaits that I have created.
These are flat-sided hardwood with no rattles.
I have not painted these, only sealed the wood.
Some have eyes, some don’t.
Amazingly they have been catching fish!
I don’t know why but they do.😀
Is it because they look different than the usual lures that they are heavily presented with?
Is it the action?
The lack of color?
Just plain wood lures with no paint!
Some of the pictures are from last Summer, the ones with the light wood lure with the holes are from today (4/20/2020) I caught a total of five!
Question; would anybody be interested in buying these ?
I can make these really fast.
Yes, I drilled some holes in one lure just to see if maybe it created some unique sound or movement.
