    Default A few from this evening


    These work really well around the bridge pilings and the brush. Lots of action in the water. Tips nicely with a small minnow.
    Gave a buddy a few of them and he's ranting and raving how much he likes them. What color head would you paint these? White? I still dont have any paints but the fish don't seem to mind.

    I'd say at least 10-12 legs. Never really counted them before. Some turn out thinner and not so full sometimes. Fish don't seem to mind that either.

    I use bare heads on most of what I fish with good results. Those look good. What size are those heads?

    Looks like some thing else I have to try. Do you just wrap the legs in, or do you add glue?

    I just tie mine in, though I have to do it in stages with some materials. I have a white minnow head 3/8 similar to these that they absolutely love. Just start fooling with it, it's not a hard material to use. THe tighter you pull the wraps, the more it tends to flair to a point.Silli legs work well but the thicker spinnerbait stuff does well for me. Just my 2 cents.

    I like those... I made some similar to that in a smaller size that I can't wait to use this year! Show us some of your other color combos.

    You can fish em plain if that's working for you but even ones I use plain I clear coat now just so they don't oxidize.
