Not the "Watsit" but some "Buggies"

I was trying to do something similar to the "Watsit" jig made famous by Lindy Jig Company. I came up with just "The Buggies" made by Shipahoy41. My mold is from Jacobs Baits. Well folks, I was playing around in the shop this morning. I got the idea of combining my soft plastic skills with some of my jig tying skills and came up with "The Buggies." I believe the Crappie, Bluegill and White Bass will eat them up rather quickly. These are 1.25 inches long. What do you think?

I love how these little rubber legs move in the water. :biggrin :biggrin :biggrin

You need a tuna in that tank Ship. lol

Using the rubber for the legs is using your head. Nice job. At an inch and a quarter those should be absolute torment for sunfish.

Those will do fine Ship. I'm looking forward to some warmer weather and the fly rod. I got a taste for some gill filets.

Thanks to all of you for the kind words and comments. I will be going out on the boat with Breadman (Wayne Gray) in about a week and these will be the first puppies I throw in the lake. I believe these dogs will hunt.

If they produce as well as I think they will momma will be eating good this year. I do have a back up plan. My dad once told me " Son, if the crappies figure out your first plan....get yourself a back up plan!" I never forgot his good advice. These paddletails will be my back up lure.

I made some like that a few years ago and they worked well for me on the gills but not so much the crappie
