been playing....

I have been shooting in the garage until today. Ma got her Christmas stuff out of my corner in the work room yesterday so today I moved the shop inside. No more playing with plastic in a 7 degree garage this winter.

Here are a pair of K grubs done with Do-Its new molds in 2.5" and 3". The 2.5" is a great crappie sized bait while the 3" is looking at fooling some walleyes.

I have these done in Fire Tiger and Motor Oil/Orange tail. I spoon poured the top and bottom cavities leaving each shallow enough to shoot the yellow chartreuse thru to get the Fire Tiger. The welds are clean and complete. Both molds are super easy to work with and tails fill nicely. No denting to speak of helps to make these baits a keeper.

I hope your work room is well ventilated. Those fire tigers look really good

definitely like the color combination ctom whose molds are you using.

These are Do-it's molds. They are not in a catalog or on-line store yet. I have the pair to work with right now. I walked down to the river behind me and flipped these for ten minutes yesterday to see what kind of action is in the tail and all I can say is wow.

nice

Those look fantastic......I bet even the three inch would be good on these big southern crappie

bigger baits mean bigger fish:yikes

You did a fantastic job on that fire tiger coloring, a really great great combo.

The colors are all X2 colorants from Do-It. Each one is straight color except the fluorescent green which has one drop of plain green in it [4 ounces of plastic] to bring the green out more against that yellow chartreuse. The three color numbers are putsy but the molds make it easy to work.

Good work there.

Those look really good, and like the three colored ones too. A guy in Pa, who use to be one here years ago, painted jigs in fire tiger pattern. The jigs were deadly on the crappie, whether with just a minnow, or plastic chartruse, or both on. Do you sell these?

S10....In time I may sell a few on a limited scale. I have other stuff going right now that keeps me pretty busy.

ctom I noticed the tails on your twisters are a little bit wider than usual they must have a different action than the normal twister tails do you know when these will be available and what sizes is do it going to make the in.

The tail action is similar to a conventional twister tail...until you slow down the retrieve. That's when the broad thin tail starts to shine. It takes very little movement to set the tail working. These baits are super popular here on the Mississippi River in the late fall, winter and early spring. One of the best ways to fish the broad tails is to rig them on a jig just heavy enough to maintain a vertical presentation and then drop it to the bottom, take up a foot of line and then just hold the rod steady while drifting. A soft one foot lift then a drop on a tight line and hold again is the usual manner of fishing them. Walleyes and sauger go crazy to this approach.

Right now Do-It is offering the molds by phone only order. The 2.5" is a 6 cavity mold. The 3" is a four cavity mold. Anyone interested in the molds for purchase can call 1-319-984-6055 and ask for Jerry. He'll get you fixed up.

The molds are real shooter friendly.

Those look great! Love the fire tiger!

I agree that the fire tiger is great

When I saw "been playing" I knew I better check it out. Great work as usual CTom.CF
