Clear bait question

No clear baits for me. Opaque baits out perform in our water. 6" of visability would be considered crystal clear water here lol

Tom, sorry to hear about you an the wife, hope you both get better fast. Becarefull on the respitory symtoms there is a bad bug down here that requires antibiotics to clear it up. Can you show a pic of your clear baits? they are really intriging to me. I have a lot of gin clear ponds in so il that I fish and am willing to give them a try. Thanks Dave.

Here's a couple Fireman.

The one with the heavy glitter is bluegill. This one has been re-heated/re-melted and the blue and green glitters are beginning to leach into the clear, but I caught ton's of fish this fall using the stained clear. The other color is red, blue and silver micro glitter. Hard to see in the picture but its in there. This bait also was met with great success last fall. Normally I make this one with the micro glitter using .015 glitters like the bluegill and call it firecracker. You can sub purple glitter for the blue and make it a purple firecracker and it too is a fish catcher. I did a simple fuscia glitter in .015 glitter for a friend and he did super in that just before ice up.

Clear plastic lends itself to a real wide range of glitters and in many regards the glitter does more than colorant. With the teeth of winter coming down hard right now my fishing will be on hold. But I am planning to expand this clear concept a great deal for my personal use.

Thanks CTom, that explains a lot. I made some clears and the plastic also began to leach but they came out great. thanks for the glitter colors for bluegill and firecracker,I will need to order some more colors in micro. As i said before I fish quite a few clear ponds in so il an cant wait ti use theese new baits. Again thanks. Will post pics later. Dave
