Just purchase a Senko, any size any color, and get a single edge razor blade and chop away!

I can usually get 16 wonderful soft plastic "fish catchin" baits from 1 Senko!
I have this perfected now, and these will catch better than live bait!
So sorry, lure makers! It's so much fun, I just had to post it! LOL
They also make a 2" Senko which is deadly.
Marabou and tube jigs have plenty of movement for tiny jigs. Having said that, I have more luck with solid beetle bodies.
I should add that I was thinking Lindy Fuzz-e grub when I mentioned marabou. I realized that you were asking about plastic when I thought of the Fuzz-e grub, which has a plastic body in front of a marabou tail. Works great under a float sometimes, although generally better for crappie than bream in my experience.
that whatever it is i think bobby garland makes in a tiny shad shape is a good plastic for bream

What makes you think I could play golf?Quote:

My favorite plastics are the Berkley Gulp minnow is Smelt or Emerald shiner, 1 inch size, the Berkley Power Wigglers, the Trigger X Spike Worm in Black, and the Berkley Gulp Angleworm in Natural color. Also, if bobber fishing, I only use clear bobbers.Attachment 243164Attachment 243165Attachment 243166Attachment 243167Attachment 243168Attachment 243169Attachment 243170Attachment 243171
