I forgot to mention that I gave 6 to a fishing buddy and he rigged them under a bobber in shallow water.
The pumpkinseed sunnies attacked the bait like they hadn't been fed in a year! The other thing was that I had the rod hanging over the water with a baits 1' under the surface and the lure caught at least half dozen perch without my hand even on the rod.

The picture doesn't do justice to the color but I had some old plastic lying around in pumpkin with gold hologram and lime green flakes. I'll post another color I poured this morning: clear with gold hologram and black flakes. I don't need any other colors to catch fish regardless of water clarity.

In fact Bob, you might want to cut up a bunch of old plastics, try to fill to 1 cup level or more in a pyrex cup, heat and stir, heat and stir in a microwave and follow the method. I have used plastic I'm still using that's 10 years old. Recycle.
