Snake River,
Have you ever thought about putting moving fins on soft plastic minnow imitators? I am trying with the idea. I took white embroidery thread, put it on a needle and threaded it through the lure where fins should be. Interesting because they actually move like fish fins. Comments anyone?

Yes we thought about it little time-consuming but it would be quite effective because you would be putting a skirt on the sides which would give it more action in the water and of course it would attract fish I might have to try some of that the next time we go in a few days will try to give youA report. A report We went fishing last evening in carter variety of panfish bluegill bass Crappie and perch .
I sure have and also contemplated how many ways and materials I could use to do it. I like me some lego lures.
Would look/work really good maybe with a shiny tinsel for fins, flash and movement both, not sure how easy would be to do.
Will thread some tinsel flash on a needle. Just might be on to something. Might have to get an embroidery needle and order some tinsel flash. HmmmQuote:

Reminds me a bit of the Clam Silkie jig trailer. Except in the middle.
Snake River,
I decided on the Flash Tinsel Marabou. That should work well. I will post a video by Thursday on the results.

Might try that stuff in the molds when I get set back up again don’t know what temperature that would take before it melted.Quote:

Bob, I think it would melt pretty quick.Quote:

Sounds interesting. I have some of that Crystal flash in my stash. might try that also. I just think a moving pectoral fish fin would be an awesome trigger in a minnow imitating lure. Those fins are used for moving, braking, jumping etc. That and adding a little blood worm -n- chunk paint on the belly to imitate a wounded fish should entice the big crappie and their momma to bite my lure because it will stand out from the crowd. I believe you and I are on the something Bob. Stay tuned folks! What the mind of man can conceive and believe, he will achieve. I wonder if Jimmy Houston, Ronnie Capps, "G", Wally Marshall, Richard Gene, tournament fishing personalities, and even Chip from the local grocery store are watching this thread.Quote:

I can guarantee you Mike that the big boys in the tournament fisherman read Are post I know of one tournament fisherman that fishes the big Crappie tournaments reads a lot of our post he’s bought quite a bit of stuff from me and of course the manufactures keep an eyeball on anything that pops up new.Quote:
