Thread: Made some crickets

Me like!

I think they would work. I would rig them the traditional way with a #8 hook, split-shot, and bobber.

Yellow, Black, and Green are some other colors you could try.

Never gave a thought to your trying to sell anything.

How about the color black? I believe Cream baits makes and sells Crickets, but I could be wrong.

I would fish them under a balanced bobber. With a slight ripple causing the bobber to waggle they should be a good producer.

If using for Bream I'd try the traditional colors of Black,White, Yellow and if you have some maybe a Water Mellon flake. Should be good for Crappie also. I would fish it just like you said.

I don't think the fish really care what color they are ... especially if they're hungry !!

Black, & "tan" (light brown) are the only colors I know of for live crickets ... but, with all those legs dangling off those bodies, I doubt a fish would snub its nose up at them, whatever the color.

I mean, seriously ... when was the last time you saw a pink/chartreuse minnow swimming around your waters yet many fish are caught on this color combo !!

There are a few people on this site who have that mold. I passed on it because there were not enough cavities for me. I think you might can get one with more cavities now. I have never seen you post in the DIY soft plastics page before on here. Maybe you have and I jsut forgot. There are a lot of people with many types of molds and different styles of coloring. There is a lot of good info on that page if you have never been you should check it out.

I sold Senkos that were identical in size to Garys and had same softness and fall rate, but you could catch up to 50 bass on one bait. Sold like hotcakes.

Probably cant sell baits here without being a sponsor anyway.

Its a Basstackle mold.

Those look nice. I'd try some green ones. The pumpkinseeds around here like green/chartruese.
