Another Plywood Build, for my bass
- Thread starter Bassinkorea
- Start date
use piano hinges rather than the ones you are using or the flaps will warp very quickly. I made that mistake. Alternatively make the flaps from black plastic sheet like the stuff they using on ready made aquarium set ups
Thanks guys......and I couldn't help myself with that fish. It's an 8" custom LM Bass lure I had made.

Thanks for the ideas. I do want to use a piano hinge, but I'm having trouble finding them locally. A piano hinge will look much better also.
Dude, can I offer a compliment on your swimbait? I have fished largemouth for going on 30 years, and I really like the realism you've incorporated. Again Great Great job on the tank, there's just something about the way you shaped it that makes it so eye pleasing. And great job on the swimbait - the baits I make look no where near as good as yours.
I wonder if your bass swimbait would stand up to pike or muskie attack. I for one would love to find out, on the end of a swimbait stick and a heavy duty baitcaster.

Thanks for the Kudos on the tank, but I can't take credit for the lure, I guess I worded my other reply a little wrong. I know a guy in the States that hand-makes these lures and I bought 3 from him. They weren't cheap
I do make my own spinnerbaits though.Luckily, we don't have and pike and musky over here, but I would say they would be able to handle a tooth fish with only a few paint scratches.
Here's a link to the guy that makes them....

Wow, his work is fantastic the Threadfin Shad is scary good.
So you bass fish there, and that's what you're putting in the tank?

Yep, I caught a bass over 2 years ago and he is going into this tank. His old one is getting a little small.
While I'm waiting for the silicone to cure, I had an idea for my lights.
The light will sit over a piece of glass to protect it from the water splashes, so in turn the temperature in the box will get quite high. I ordered and installed a double fan inside the box so that it turns on automatically when the light is on. I also drilled a large vent hole in the back of the box for good air glow.
