here is a brand-new plastic bait called the crappie rockets

this may look like a simple plastic bait to most but it definitely has some details. I design this plastic bait so the tail is paperthin so you can get more action. It has a natural swim action to it. You barely have to move it for the tail to go into action.

snake I actually found one of those samples like that one that I mentioned sending to people. I had it stuck back in a drawer. I did not know I still had one. Like I said before, it is a little different with the tail being jsut a little shorter and I think the body a little bigger, but very similar to this one. Nice bait, I think it will do well for you.

what kind of action would you get trolling/longlining, etc?? Good or bad?

thank you they should do well . We were messing with it in the kitchen sink it to see what type of action it did have it's very interesting. It has a swimming action also way action of just sitting still his partner like the tail is actually working in Stillwater but for the most part it has definitely a different action than other tail baits it's completely different than your Stinger because of the tail that forks it mostly has a even action to it. It looks better with a jig head attached to it. I will try to post a picture with one on the body by the way I did receive your samples of your twister tails today a pretty clever with your color scheme.

I would kinda think the action would be minimal. I believe the tail would flutter like a small fish. If you've watched them they have a fast flutter but to be honest with you I do not know yet. I have not field-tested it or anything. I just received the molds. Today so we will have a lot to learn about this plastic bait it will be going out to one of my field testers and hopefully we will learn something if I get a chance I will drop down behind my house and tried in River to see what it does but I think you wouldn't have any problem with some sort of action. We will definitely get back to you on this tomorrow.

Love to see the tail action on a jig head with a steady troll. You ever post you-tube vids? They look good snake.:)

Thanks Snake, the idea did not work as well as I had hoped, but I think with clear plastic it would probably look pretty cool.

you are correct there is another company called cw.wilson's that carries a jig called crappie rocket so we will gladly change name of our new plastic bait and thank you very much. We will post this on the front with apology to Mr. Wilson's we have no intentions of copy and somebody else's name. If we would've known about this we would not have named our new bait crappie rocket so if this gets back to them I apologize fully in we will strike the name of crappie rockets on our new plastic baits.

I have that mold and make those lures for myself. Every word of what Bob said is true. If you hold the tip between your thumb and forefinger you will see the great tail action. You can also tie it on a 1/32nd jig and move it around in the aquarium and see for yourself what it will do underwater.

Bob, glad you are back and the website is up and running. Take care my friend.

I have added things to the mix with good results. (I wait until it cools a little, add oil based attractants and stir well) I also add a few drops of Anise. then inject the mold.

Give it a sexy name, something forbidden, yet something everybody wants. That is how The Temptations got their name. (Sexy, forbidden, desireable) Think hard Bob. Not just Crappie hit it but also Walleye, Perch and Bull Bream.
