Thread: New plastic BAIT Texas wiggler.

Loving this mold. Crappie around here are eating this combo up like it's candy.

Went out again yesterday and the bait guys wanted to KILL me!!!!!! I ended up with 26 bass from little ones up to a 2 1/2 lber. I even moved from my first spot and let the bait guys fish it and went back down the shore line and kept catching while they didn't get bit.

The pics are on my cell phone and of course since I have an old flip style you need an external card to download them - so I sent them to my wife as a multimedia and they still haven't gone through yet!!

Got a couple on the pink and pearl but it was still the newpenny/irredescent orange glitter that kicked butt!!!!!!!

Was told of another pond that has crappie in it but the only open area is right at the boat launch so not an ideal place to fish but I'm going to check it out!!

Checked out the pond this morning and without a small boat just isn't feasible to fish it from the boat launch. Gotta get the nephew to make some time to get out there with his boat!!!!!!

the new penny you call it isn't that a root beer with gold glitter.
a short note about this plastic bait as we went down yesterday and caught 52 bass on black and chartreuse also on pink or solid black also. these were from a pound and a half up to 3 pounds.

Also have some from Snake - even with the wind blowing today took them out and the bait guys were ready to strangle me!!!!!!! Best color today was the new penny head with orange irredescent glitter and the matching body from ctom.

They didn't play around they took it!!!!!! Ended up catching 16 bass and of all things I haven't seen this year a rainbow trout!!!!!!! and stupid here forgot the camera today!!!!! DA!!!!!!

If you're thinking about getting some just do it, they work really well!!!!!!!!!!!

I like the powder painting you did on your jig heads.

that color combination has been a winner for me also and like you I love this mold you want a little bit more action take a razor blade and split the tale.

Snake I don't know what formula ctom used to pour them but my jig head was done with the new penny then a dip in the irridescent orange glitter with clear
I know my pic doesn't show the color good with the eye on it but there's a better one, usually for solid base colors I use my 2" fluid bed then go back and reheat and dip or brush tap with multi colors.


I learned a lot on brush tapping jigs from others, I always used to do single colors.

working with powder paints always been interesting and you can do many different things .

OK those of you using Texas Wiggler what is your preference on position of flat tail 1) in above pict tail is flat on jig-that is flat sides are top & bottom(like a paddle tail?) as opposed to flat sides would be on each side(same as the eyes on the jig) like a swimming jig?. just wondering what you feel is best action/catch ratio...Thanks jax
