Snake River and my friends question

My friends, what do you know about the crappie Fluke? crappie Fluke - Google Search

The reason I ask is because Janns Netcraft has a Do It Crappie Fluke tail only mold that is reasonably priced. Part 413-301

I am thinking the tail only would be about 1.5 " or so. I am thinking about just ordering that tail only, modifying slighty the front to round it more and using worm-n-chuck paint and a drill bit to put on some eyes. Would it be a good minnow immitation?

It could be dynamic on a 1/16th jig head.

I will wait about a month to read all the suggestions that come on this thread and perhaps I will order the tail only mold in a month or so and tinker with it. Still doing my homework on it and listening to all of you who are much wiser than me.

Mike it would be close to a tiny fluke, just shorter.

Confusing if it is the total fluke length of 2.5 or just the tail

He is talking about a tail mold. Which would be half of the 2.5 I wonder if that’s a miss print from do it?

If you look ok the do it website the crappie fluke is 2.5” so the tail would be less. I think Mike is right and it’s roughly 1.5” as well.

Folks, I have scrapped this idea and moved on to my next idea. I appreciate all the comments.
