Thread: Black Back Paddle Tail Minnows

The foil was just used to divide the mold into halves. The mold produces four full paddle tail minnows or using the foil produces eight with a lot more tail action in the water due to less plastic.

I spent over 55 years in Ohio....Akron and Toledo. I know all about the cold and lots of lake effect snow. That is why I am in the deep south now. Huge slab crappies and soft water year round.

I took heavy duty aluminum foil and after I did the back stripes and the eyes i put the foil in the mold to divide it in half. The final effect was awesone as I filled the mold with hot plastisol and silver glitter. What do you experts think?
