Went to the site, interesting concept.

Here's the latest version : Little Skunks .... from Nothead Tackle, and called "Little Skunks" ... size of hooks & weight of bait are noted on the bottom of the page.

Fatman is basically correct ... a hard plastic, larvae shaped body with a smaller hook/feathers attached (slipped over the main hook) and held in place with a plastic retainer. The Lisk version had a 2# test leader ... not sure about the Nothead version.

So as not to infringe on the "original" design .... I'd suggest that anyone wanting to simulate such a lure, could custom tie a "body" on the main hook, or use a plastic "stinger" body (or portion of one).

Here's the "stinger" that I'm referring to : Cabin Creek Bait Company, Winchester, Kentucky (and I'd use about 1/3 of the head portion , for a body)

BUT ..... here's the REAL DEAL lure that you custom boys should be trying to duplicate/replicate .... The No-Name Lure Thumbs Up (here's the thread, complete with pic & description ... http://www.crappie.com/crappie/main-...me-jigs-4.html ) Just one point : The "No-Name" lure would wobble like a spoon, when retrieved ... so any facsimile should also do the same, otherwise it's just a tandem jig Doh (and even I can make one of those :p )

Oh darn it, I thought I was going to be able to tell you about the one I run over. Car still stinks.
