Wow Crappiefarmer,.. That is a very high compliment and I receive it with much appreciation.

Snake River and Eric 3501..I did a few with Krystal Flash this morning. It takes about an hour just to do four of these bad boys.

Crappieseeker, I am so blessed and thankful that you sold me that mold. I only have five molds and by far it is my favorite. I have been trying to make a good imitation minnow for about nine years when I first joined the jig tying forum and learned to tie my own jigs. I have been soldering my own tear drop jigs for over fifty years. Now, at age 68 I will be making "Old Ship's Marabou Minnow" for as long as the good Lord gives me breath. I am now satisfied with my imitation minnows.
