I did some "modifying" of my own, back several years ago, on some cheap plastics I had accumulated .... just to see if I could do it. Their original intent was for use on Crappie, but never got around to using them.




Legs are made from rubber bands and the tinsel tail of some off brand tube jig.

I was using a few of these today, things were slow at the creek and figured something small might work. Caught a few using them. Have had success on gills in the past also. I did same as crappiepappy, can also use skirt material for legs.
