they look fantastic I would say that they are definitely a hot looking bait keep up the good work.
If I was a Crappie I would eat it!
I have a question what are you using for tails on your plastic bait I know that you are using a dip met that I just can't figure out where the tails come from.
I use a hot glue gun and a homemade form. You can tell its a hand made form if you look at the tails real good. Some are a tad bit wider than the others. You got to know when to start and stop the glue gun or your bait will just look bad. After years of doing this I have about mastered it. Not one of my jigs are the same really, The average fisherman wouldnt notice what I do though. I have a guy that always wants my "bad" jigs. He says they are fine and catch fish just as good but it bothers me to put those in the packs I sale to others. So out of 50 jigs I make I will "trash" 15 of them just because they dont look the way I want them to. Then he picks up my trash and pays me for it 1/2 price... So its a win win I guess.

These are the ones that obviously didnt pass my inspection. Not all of them are this noticeable but if I see something wrong with it then to the trash bag it goes!
Those are some good colors. That black/blue bait color has caught a many of crappie, Nice.
even your bad ones look good you can do a other way by pouring flat sheets of plastic and cutting them then dipping them but you have your own process it works out good for you so stick with it you do a fantastic job your baits always look good.
Thanks guys! I will continue to show all kinds of combos to you guys. I love the feedback. If you think its bad please do tell me so that I dont waste plastic. I only fish with a hand full of colors and if the fish dont bite those I go home. I make other colors because its what people want.
Snake.. I have poured flat sheets in the past but I feel like im hustling backwards! It takes forever!! lol but it is a great idea for anyone starting out.
Here is two more colors I made for a customer today. What yall think?

like the pink and white, looks good
I like em, especially the orange/chartreuse - and with a transparent body the hook will make it look like a bloodline
you have outstanding color combinations keep up the good work you have something that nobody else has that is for sure I encourage you very much so on this one this is a fantastic I can't say enough how good it looks and I know it deftly catches fish you can tell a lot by just looking at it it looks like something that it's deadly you should open up a website and start packaging up them for sale I know a website would probably be overwhelming with the amount of orders but it would keep you out of trouble ha ha I wish I could see more of this type of stuff on here you have a gift my friend it is something that you should be very proud of.
I just want to say thank you everybody! Snake I have no idea who you are... A complete stranger but you are very inspiring and a great tackle maker. I am a pretty good judge of character as I have been a police officer since I was 21 years old. You sir seem like a standup guy and this site should be honored to have you as a part of it. I want to thank everyone of you guys for the support I have received from each and every one of you. you guys have inspired me to move further into my dream. I often question myself is it good enough or how can I make it better. I'm very limited to what colors I can make because its a tiny lure. There's not much room on it to customize like you guys stuff. You only realy have a choice of one color or two. I think a mold would help in that area a bit though I'm not positive. I have never used a mold other than rtv but judging by the superb work I have seen on this board I get the feeling I could realy make something eye catching! Though I have always been the kinda guy that never used the flashy lures because I felt fishing is not a lure beauty contest its all about what works. Take a look at the vintage lures... Who would ever want to buy that junk right? Well those are the most sought out lures today not only for collectors but for fisherman as well simply because it works. I'm not saying the other lures don't work or even that they don't work as good because I'm sure they are great to fish with and I'm looking into doing a bit of shopping with you guys myself simply because yall lured me in with looks and I got to put them up against my jigs and see what the outcome of fishing with my eyes is. So calm down gentleman on the spectacular lures you guys are making because I'm wanting them all! Hahaha.
oh now you've done it!!!!!!!! those pink ones are great looking......do a pink/green and you may bring tears to my eyes ha ha ha.....VERY NICE WORKQuote:

nice looking plastics,should catch alot of us fishermen and fish also.
I know where thousands of crappie are that would bite the ones that do not meet your inspection ha ha, great looking baits.
