We don't have any snow for run-off to stain up the rivers and lakes this spring and rains have been meager where I live. The lake is clearing up already and the color preference for a more natural bait will be here early this spring so I have to be ready.
These are the Caney 1.75 small fry grubs.....love these baits for the size and action.
did you make these? if so will you sell a few?
Very nice.
Those look great.....I love the color
Luther....you have a pm.Quote:

good job sir
Nice work, realistic.
Of the jig hooks you sell...what do you recommend for this bait?
DaBehr,
I fish these on standard 1/32 heads with the #6 hook and run the hook shallow along the back. Later on, Junish, I'll up the head size to 1/16 and a #4 hook on a loose line....no float...and fan cast. With the cooler water yet and weather that is shifting around up here I like these under a float on the light head used right now because the crappies can be very depth specific and suspend even when feeding well. The smaller head weight allows these to drop slow and enticingly thru that zone.
CTom .... wouldn't mind having a couple dozen of them, myself. Hollar at me !!
... cp :cool:
Yeah Ctom, That looks like your finest work so far... Im envious of your skills.. If you willing to part ways with another 2 dozen golden shiners, a dozen 1/32 and a dozen 1/16 whatever color jigheads you use (gold or green???) & Id be happy to compensate you for time & materials, send me a PM, name your price & where you want the money/or check... Thanks!
Ctom

My baits are "good"...his are at an entire different level. If you want to be inspired.... order some of his and/or MicroSpoons baits!
Darn Andy, Snake....that in and of itself is humbling. Thanks to all for the comments, but really I just like to work with color and my hands.
Thanks again Tom, just got the baits yesterday, cant wait to try them
I got some "golden shiners" from Tom yesterday and they look so good I hate to put a hook in them, - but I will anyway!
I will be ordering more plastics. Thanks Tom
That golden shiner is the most natural looking minnow bait I have had in my hands.
Thanks for the patronage Tom.
I will take 2000 you do a beautiful job you are making me very jealous:biggrin I do enjoy watching your work you do a fantastic job I hope these we can see more in the future .Quote:
