New Crappie Bait

**shockley32** · 01-04-2011, 06:03 PM

I just wanted to let you know of a new crappie bait on the market - the Crappie Carrot. This is a mold made by Caney Creek Molds (Welcome to Caney Creek Molds - Index - Fishing Molds, Jig Molds, Injection Lure Molds, Soft Plastic Hand Pour Molds). I want to say up front I have no connection with Caney Creek Molds, I've never even met Jason but have talked with him a few times. I just thought this bait was too good not to share with my CDC family. So here's my evaluation - check it out.

Crappie Carrot Performance Evaluation

Mold – The crappie carrot mold is easy to inject and makes great baits nearly every time. If you have just a couple of molds you can produce 100’s of jigs in short order. Although for some the 2.5” and 3” appears to be a little too big for crappie they will surprisingly work wonders. It is quickly becoming a trend to use bigger baits for crappie fishing and the payoff is, well big! If, however, you prefer smaller baits the 2.5” tail mold will produce a 1.75” bait whose diameter and length are very comparable to most baits on the market.

Tail Mold – The tail molds are very easy to inject and can be used in the 2.5” and 3” molds with relative ease. The flexibility of the tail molds makes production of two color professional looking baits a snap. It is a huge advantage to produce custom colors of your liking which the fish have never seen.

Fishing Performance - Simply put the Crappie Carrot is a FISH catching machine! They work wonders on crappie however be prepared because they catch anything that swims. In our trial trips we have caught crappie, white bass, black bass and multiple wall hanger walleye! I have spent the last two afternoons experimenting with this bait in comparison to other proven baits – there is no comparison. Yesterday, a warm winter afternoon, we caught several more crappie on the crappie carrot than other jigs. Last night a harsh cold front came through (yesterday’s high was 62 while today’s high was 26), we didn’t expect to catch much however the crappie carrot consistently produced while we never caught a fish on other jigs.

I have been looking at this mold for a while now. It does look good but it so closely resembles some stuff I already have, so I have not purchased it. I was close to buying it a few weeks ago but changed my mind, but I do think it will be a good bait for crappie. The biggest reason I did not buy it was because it was a little too big for my taste. Thanks for sharing the info with everyone and maybe someone will buy the mold.

if that one is too big for you Jacob baits is making one similar but it is a lot smaller. It is a inch and a half long and it is a 20 cavity .it is called the blood worm bait.

They look good Brad. I'll be waiting for my sample pack.

Yes snake, I almost bought one from Jacobs. They look good but I decided to wait and see if another mold comes along I like better

Trust me its not to big of a bait, I have caught fish on the 3" that were no longer than 6". I had the idea in my head for a while and pitched the idea to Jason at Caney Creek. He tweaked the idea to make it cost effective and made a outstanding mold. You should be seeing more crappie molds coming out Caney Creek in the coming months.

TAE, I have also caught crappie on bigger baits. However not as often as I do on smaller baits. I know it will catch fish, just my opinion that not as well as those baits that are a little smaller. The design is good, those style baits have caught fish for years. I like caney creek molds and cant wait to see what new crappie molds they come out with. I hope they come out with molds with a few more cavities than that for a reasonable price. It is a great start, and I think they are on the way to some great molds. I heard that caney creek was the actual maker of bears molds. Is this true?

I have caught hundreds of crappie on three-inch plastic baits. The only reason why I mentioned Jacob is because they make a smaller version I'm sure that caney creek will come out with a smaller version into future. They do make a good-looking plastic molds and I'm glad to see that we have other mold makers also that are make and crappie baits up now. I think you would only see a buildup of this in the future and are part of the world crappie fishing is a big and industry every year. It is a very popular fishery in our state especially where I live. We are ranked number one in the Pacific Northwest for this fishery and hope that more mold makers will get into making up more molds for panfish . I'm sure that it will get very competitive in the future.
