I've had Great success with my Ice stingers using a #10 silver blade hook
The Ice Kraken caught my interest, is that mold available

billygee :rolleyes:

I'm pretty sure both of these baits come from custom cut molds...made for the company. Both of these have that wispy, thread-thin tails and legs that ice fishing demands. Jacobs has a 1" stinger mold that is something on the order of those baits you show in your post billygee.

I do have that Jacobs 1" Ice stinger and like I said we have had done very well using this bait in various color combo's

If the Ice Kraken mold is not available,
I found the Jacobs 1 3/8" BREAM BUG - 6 cavity mold about as close as one could get,
maybe using the CC Soft for better action.

The Kraken is my own design and making. I design and make all my molds. It's a serious addiction.

I would not go with the soft plastic. The thin sections will not last more than a couple bites. I would recommend regular plastisol. no need for soft plastic. You will get the same action with better resilience from medium/regular plastisol.

I'm shooting regular Essential into the 1" stinger mold. This plastic has unreal stretch. I have other small ice-type plastic molds that I use a softened Essential in but they have a little more substance in the legs and tails.
