Need a name

Been working on this from scratch with baitjunkies owner. He was able to take my ideas and put them into something awesome I think.

I wanted a bait that had a thicker tail but doesn't flip around the hook. I wanted some meat to the bait so the lead barbs don't tear the plastic easily. This is what I started with.

Thanks to bait junkies for allowing me in from the ground up build of my style bait.

The bait is 2.75 inches long
Body is 3/8 diameter and little over 1 inch long

Hot Rods! Them look really good.

I Have never been in on something from ground up. I received nothing for this except the satisfaction of seeing my idea come to life. Happy holidays. I have a bunch more ideas I would like to see come around in the lead department as well as plastic bait area. Happy holidays to all.Attachment 220763Attachment 220764Attachment 220765Attachment 220766

I wouldn't use "Hot Rods" -- that name is already taken by a Member Sponsor for his "carrot" shaped bodies : https://sites.google.com/site/slaban...menu/Jig-Bodys

He originally called them "carrots", but changed the name because "Carrots" was already being used. His name is Rodney, so he changed the name to "Hot Rods".

... cp :kewl

"Leaf tail". Kind of looks like a leaf of some kind on the tail.

How about naming your bait - 'Crappie Lights'? It sorta looks like lights for a Christmas tree!

Good luck! I'd buy them....where can I get some?

Dang that's a big mold! Kinda looks like a sawtooth oak leaf

And that would be a definate NO NO! Bad idea, scratch that one, carry on!

Nice Ab. That must have cost a couple bucks! I like Arkansas Talisman.
A talisman is an object which is believed to contain certain magical or sacramental properties which would provide good luck for the possessor or possibly offer protection from evil or harm.( Wiakpedia definition) According to the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, a magical order active in the United Kingdom during the late-19th and early-20th centuries, a talisman is "a magical figure charged with the force which it is intended to represent. In the construction of a talisman, care should be taken to make it, as far as possible, so to represent the universal forces that it should be in exact harmony with those you wish to attract, and the more exact the symbolism, the easier it is to attract the force."

Awesome ! Nice Work :ThumbsUp
