    Fatman....

    I am really looking to target walleyes with these when the water chills out a bit but I have smallie anglers lathered up over these for right now. lol

    I see you are from Northfield, Vermont. We have a Northfield, Minnesota only an hour from here in Rochester.

    Here's another I came up with today. The bottom color is a blend of clear plastics, each with a different glitter and one with some violet hi lites. There are five different glitters in the bottom color.

    The top color is a medium smoke, very little violet hi lite and a ton of medium garnet glitter. The pic doesn't do the top color justice at all. In your hand it looks like a real ripe bing cherry....only electric. Its an unreal color in the sun.



    Tomorrow I am going to lay this cherry color of smoke atop of a chrtreuse to see what it looks like. If it turns out ok I'll hang a pic here.

    I charged up the black cherry with a red hilte and then shot it over a chartreuse opaque. Here's the results.



    You can see the smoke color come out at the nose end of the smaller tube and the rest of the cherry color just shines. The smaller tube is right in line size-wise with a crappie tube.

    That is so sweet. Very nice job.

    Crappieseeker, how much to make up a tube device for me? Shoot me a pm.

    ship, I have had that one for a long time. I think I got the parts at a hobby lobby. If you have any craft store around you then you should be able to find what you need to make it very cheap. Look for an old group of artificial flowers that are on sale or clearance and get them and then find some of the little rods and clip the stems and place the rods over them. It is fairly simple. You might can even get the arrangement at wal mart. I would fix you one up but I no longer live near a craft store. I am almost 2 hours away. If I run across anything here locally I will try and fix you one up.

    OK. Thank you my friend. I will also try and make one. Are those metal rods? How did you attach them to the stems? What size are those tubes? They look like three inch ones. Take care.
