Snake River, Crappie Farmer and others looking for this lure

May 26, 2014
Hey Snake River and Crappie Farmer,

I met a friend out on Logan Martin lake the other day who was looking for someone to make him a particular lure. I do not have the stinger mold he wanted because mine is only 1,5 inches long.

What he (Roger Barnett in Moody Alabama) is looking for (Photo included) is a two inch looks like a minnow stinger. It is kind of a very light grey with a hint of a very light purple back with silver glitter bars in it. PM photos of what you come up with and prices ASAP and I will put you in touch with him. He is looking for about 100 of them.

Mike

I'll bow out of these until I have my laminate issues worked out. Got two styles of 2" shad stinger molds. Chomping at the bit to get going on these.

You shouldn't have to worry about laminate this is just a straight shot with glitter and some gray smoke here is a picture of what I've made up this evening for Mike to look at see what you think.

check your PM.

As Bob said this is a straight shoot in a light purple grey color with glitter. This is a matter of him finding someone that has the mold for the lure he wants so he can throw a lot of business your way. I will send him all suggestions in a snail mail letter this evening so post a photo of what you can come up with.

Here are My two styles. The purple is high lite so which ever side, top or bottom gets the light will get the purple effect. The one above the bottom one has a profile closer to the Bobby garland. The one on bottom has a fatter profile.

Here are single shots of each type.

It looks like the tail is lighter in color. How did you make that happen?

No special effect there. It is just the thin tails are letting more light through just because they are thinner. Twister tails can really show that. Junebug for instance will be very dark and barely transparent with light shining through the body but the tail because it is so thin, will look very clear with a purple tint. Very small baits may take more colorant to compensate for this. You can shoot a 2"bait and a 1" bait with the exact same color but because the 1" is thinner, the color will not look the same some times.CF

Thanks CF for the info. I am totally new to plastic so I will have a lot of questions that have most likely already been ask before.

You have come to the right place to get help with plastics. I am definitely not the expert here, I am fiddling my way through it with some help from some of the fellas here that are a whole lot better than I am. The only difference between You and I is the time spent doing and learning. Picking good bait molds and being creative with color is the name of the game. Take safety serious with this stuff and learn all the little quirks to deal with and when they become second nature to You, it is a lot of fun.CF

It may not matter to him but that Bobby garland bait is a laminate. Not a single color.

crappiefarmer those are two super colors bet fish in some of are clear water lakes would go nuts over them as those colors are very close to how shad flash looks like.
