Just playing around with "bugs" ...

... and came up with these "critters" Rofl

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42...y/DSCF0262.jpg

Took some 1" Beetle Spin grub bodies (green w/blk lines down back), some 1" plain Chartreuse grubs, and some brown 1.75" twin tails ... added some Chartreuse w/silver glitter "legs" to the BS grubs - some pink & some clear w/silver glitter "legs" to the plain grubs - some rubber band legs/wings to the twin tails - and some Krystal Flash to the BS & plain grubs.

The pink, clear, & chartreuse "legs" were borrowed from the tails of some tubes that I rarely use ... and the Krystal Flash came from the tails of the tubes shown in pic. Needle is a "sack" needle ... Scissors are the Fiskar Child Size that I use to cut braid. And that lonely looking jighead, in the bottom left of the picture, is a 1/32oz w/#2 gold Aberdeen & Y guard (that I meant to put next to the "critters", for scale, but forgot to Doh )

Thanks to you guys, for giving me the ideas & info on how to modify plastic jig bodies Hands Clapping

... cp :cool:

Those look pretty good pappy.....good job!

Looks like you just need to add water and you are ready to catch em. Nice job making the bugs. I think all fish likes bugs with legs at times and some fish like them all the time. Good luck and thanks for posting the pic. Thumbs Up

You have a talent my friend. It is amazing what you can do to make baits more attractive to fish. Very nice job. Well done there.

I may have to add some bugs to what I have been doing. I have extra squirrel and Kip tail and rubber skirt material. Hmmmmmm. May have to get some more Jilly Jelly bodies from Snake River.

Bob, I will be playing with this concept all day tomorrow. Who knows. Stay tuned. It is amazing the number of concepts you can put into reality with your plastics.

I might try using a really fine sharpie marker to segment the bodies more. What do you think?

it sounds like a perfect ideal should be really cool looking.

try it and then fish one plain and another one with the sharpie treatment......let us know what the fish liked......interesting experiment for sure

Going out on Monday. Will post a report. I am betting they will like the sharpie treatment. Six pack of A&W Rootbeer says they hit that before the unmarked one.

I won't even try to predict that.....my experiance shows me that you just never know what they are gonna like best....they have suprised me many times.
