baby crawdad.
that chicken foot was a good one
I still have my mold. Every once in a while I will make some for myself. 99% of the time now I just fish 1.5" or a 2" shad stinger tail. Thanks to Richard Gene, the fishing machine, he has got all the crappies here in Central Alabama used to it.Quote:

Now you must have been reading my mind,
had that mold in hand was gonna give it a shot
but decided had quite a few left over and passed :confused:
One can do a lot with this mold!
Looks Good Bob :ThumbsUp
billygee :rolleyes:
If you were talking about the baby Stinger you do not have that mold was a custom-made mold by a long time member here he doesn't get on here very often don't know if you remember Jeep guys he has a website don't remember the name of a but he does not do any custom work anymore as I've tried to three times to get him to work some stuff for me but he declined I have 5 of his mold . I used to get some molds also from crazy angler don't think he does any custom work either anymore. I can go on with about five more mold makers but you know most of them. I believe you have been just as many molds as I do I've even sold you look you wish I had some of them back:biggrinQuote:

I have customized them even further once I got them adding eye sockets and sometimes lining areas with removable aluminum foil to change the profile a little. These are mine and they will always stay in my family.

You caught those dimples, my bad,
was a little slow on the spru hole suction top off :banghead
Don't think the fish will mind the difference. :fish
billygee :rolleyes:
I am eternally thankful you sold me those stinger molds. I have fun modifying them by putting in eye sockets or lining them with folded aluminum foil to get different looks. I might be willing to trade them for a one floor home with a basement on a small reservoir full of Bream and Crappie.Quote:

I recall years back, before his Texas Visit (seems like yesterday) I would e-mail bob my creations Pic's and get criticized in a fun way manner on our do's and don't s and laugh about it, he insisted I post some of my creations here, that is if I could take some of the joking, and puns, that were given.
So I'm still here and indebted to him for that, for you could not ask for a more understanding, and helpful guy here.
So to understand some of my puns they are meant in a humorous way
I Thank You Bob, for my addiction :pray
billygee :rolleyes:
These baits like Mike stated have two different actions, from my own experience, the paddle tail is very explosive on the surface by reeds, Lilly pads, and grassy area's mostly for your predator fish, where the chickens foot is a less aggressive bait mainly I use it similar as one would use a minnow, for both have their advantages.Quote:
