I received my package in the mail from Snake River today. All I can say is "Holy fantastic sophisticated ladies Batman." These are some sweet lures he has created, I am going to enjoy playing with the crappie dentures lure. He sent me my favorite colors too: chartreuse, chartreuse/lime, chartreuse/pink, pink and yellow. We are going to extract some crappie from the lake soon.

got a chance to play with it a little.....heres 2 I made so far....I think a head w/out a collar is better....for me any way......

jeepguy, that is the problem I have had in years past trying to make these, I always used a barbed collar and it did not work well. That is why I did not fool with it anymore. They seem to work much better without a barbed collar. You are right about threading with the needle, I just use a big eye needle and then cut the feather or whatever until it is thin enough to put in the eye and then thread it through.
