I think it would give the bait a more realistic look, as well as a broader profile (viewed from the side). It could even have a short connecting "rat tail" section, between the body & fantail, if springy action to the tail would be a concern.

Now, I'm no plastics molder ... so I'm not sure of any potential problems with this body shape/configuration ... so forgive me if I'm suggesting an impossible task. :o
I'm just curious to know your thoughts on this.

I have the baby shed fishtail molds know which are inch and a half and I also ordered 2 inch I have not posted any pictures yet though these baits we were waiting for the other molds to get here as far as the regular baby Shad stingers go they are very popular throughout the United States because I think the action deftly catches fish for my personal use. I do not take this is number one for my plastic bait for crappie since we use so many different plastic baits when I go out most of them were being field-tested I really don't have a particular choice I knew she stick with whatever's catching fish that day. If we are catching them in a deal use a wide variety of different baits including marabou jigs in a course jelly jigs, but I think the fishtail Shad body bait is going to be a good one. Look, my site you will see a picture of one of them. Click on it it will come up for you
