When I fish this for crappies I am using a 1/16 with a #2 hook . For walleye, I like a 1/8 or 1/4 and a #1 hook in either.

The mold is one of a kind. I've had it for a couple years now. The person who made this got fed up with little things that got in the way. It didn't turn out as he wanted and I acquired the mold when he said enough is enough. I thought maybe the tail needed some more meat to it but it does great as it sits. It may be such a thing that the future will see some renewed interest in this one and if so I'll return it to him as a starting point. Its a fish catcher for sure. I really enjoy working with this mold and the baits sort of reflect that.
