In both of the baits shown on this threadI will say that it took me some time to warm up to the segmented bodies they have. As a rule I do not care for baits with this type of body. Don't ask why, I just don't. Then I got to studying both of these and was wanting to try eyes to see if they'd come around a bit better. Still, that front segment held up my thought process until I got it in my head to build just the first segment up just a bit with clear plastic, then apply the eye to the more substantial surface and re-dip to seal. I wasn't sure what I would end up with but in the end I like it.

This stinger I have had for some time but was saving it to add to next falls line of winter tackle, but then I decided to do it up with the eyes after the first attempt with the MM came out like it did. I'm happy now.

I kind of like the fact that you put eyes on those little guys they look awesome good color combinations.

"WOW" Look at crappie!!!!!
