I wish I could have took these in the sun light but Looks like a 4 day stretch here without any sun. So I went with the best lighting I could find.CF

Those look really good! We aren't crappie fishing anymore now so it's on to trout fishing... Caught a few on the stonefly on Sunday but my phone was in the truck... Dad and I are going to fish a trout lake today and I would try them again but we got quite a bit of rain... Those curly tails look great I'm going to give those a try in the river

I forgot to post these....

I think You will like those grubs. They have a thin cut tail and have great action at sloooow speeds. I have already caught a ton of fish on it and have only had that mold since December.CF

I cant wait to see these on the end of my jig poles!! Wow those look fantastic.

Thanks Man! I hope they tear them up for You. I like that cotton candy. made a few for myself. I got more twister tails coming and will post Pics later this week.CF

Nice job CF. I have that stinger mold. It is great for crappies and also bream.

Nice baits and cool colors thanks for sharing with us those look like fish catching bits to me

Hey CF the new baits did GREAT this weekend! My favorite is the triple silver with Chart tail. Crappie ate them up fished on a 1/32 RR type head and plain jig head as part of a double rig.

I cant thank you enough for some fine baits. I got some more colors for ya to consider making..........

Again THANKS

I like that name of that color. It fits good because the amounts of silver are about at that scale of normal.CF

I used them at Talquin in Fl last week and they worked good.

Thats about as small as I know of right now, You can pinch them off and make them smaller and Jacobs makes a tail mold for these that would make a smaller version. Just would not have a ball head on them.CF

There is a tail mold that companions with the paddletail mold. Tails are about 3/4" and can be fished solo. You can even do the shoot, cut and re-shoot thing to get two color baits from the tails. I have a box of the tail-only baits that goes with me and get used if the fish are telling me a smaller bait is needed but still one with the thump or paddle action. I'll post a picture of size comparison in a little while.

Thanks guys I traded for some and they were more bass size and cutting down isn't going to work to well for crappie baits.

Here are some baits shot using the tail mold along with a couple examples of the tail used on a full bait.

I traded some horse heads and pony's and the small ones were for putting in split rings. Hard to use this size on pan fish even cutting them down. Like to 2-tone them but crappiefarmer said he'd had to get some piece to add to the mold to do them.

I don't know what he needed. I didn't need a thing. And those length-wise two colors can be hand-poured in one side and injected to fill the mold. Nothing needed whatever.

I fish the shorties under a float on a 1/32 head cast on a #8 sickle and the work beautifully.

Don't know anything about plastics but can only tell you what he told me:

Everyone else has a 5/8 injection port while Ricks are tapered from 5/8 down to 1/4. If not for the tapered hole, I could use my dual injector on the mold and do top bottom shots and 3 colored baits. The good news is that Bob (snake river) made an adapter that he said he could use on any Jacobs mold.

You guys have a pic of all the different baits you make??? I've stayed away from plastics it's easier and cheaper to buy from you guys!!!

"have a pic of all the different baits you make"....per Fatman

I don't keep a log or record. I don't sell much anymore so I don't worry about keeping track. Most all of what I have done is in a photo bucket account and they are free for the looking at that site.

Those 3" worms you show in the bags are a great cold weather/cold water walleye bait up this way. I do have a bait shop that likes to stock a couple hundred of them in a few colors. Other than that I keep the stuff close to home.

Just picked up the stuff today from Lowe's for the adapter. Got to play with it a little to get everything working smooth.CF
