I am trying to find out who make the little Bluegill Bugs / Shellcracker Bugs that are popular around Ky. Lake. They are about an inch long, have a tapered tail and resemble a wax worm. They are available in several colors and some of the guys there are running little pieces of living rubber through the body to look like little legs. Does anyone know where they are offered in bulk?
Thanks for your help,
Richard
They're easy to make yourself. Just get some beetle spin bodies, or get some curly tail grubs and cut the tail off. The bluegill won't know the difference.
the difference but you can try here
Malcolm Creek Store

No reason to pay someone when you can make your own for a fraction of the cost.
How do you weave the rubber legs through the solid body?
i would think a sewing needle would work...........
