I’d have to say 2” Paddle tail grub from FGF
then either 2”’AI tracer shad , 2.5” FGF split tail, 1.8” AI skill it tube, or 1.5” Bugmolds rocky fry. Really only need one crappie mold but I got like a dozen or so lol just fun using different plastics such as grasshoppers, hellgramites, nymphs, etc sometimes.
Good looking baits
Great looking baits. What is the long glitter you use?
It’s called string glitter. I believe lureworks
AI 2 inch stinger 24 cavity
Epic bait mold 2in crappie slayer.
Fatguys 2" ba shad, followed closely by the a i skillet tube mold & of course a crappie magnet is always in the mix too. Infact i got rid of a bunch of crappie lure molds & only fish these three baits now but will probably pick up a 2" paddle tail swimbait mold sometime.
My favorite is my 2" Wooly Beavertail/Beaver Bottom bait clone. I have lots of molds but it is by far my favorite.
This design seems like it always works so it is
one of my favorites.
It was my first mold,
This picture is the first jigs with the mold.
2 inch. Jacobs mold
Everyone knows what happened after that.
Rick made me a 40 cavity in one of those the very first one that’s the first mold I ever had very good and he still make them today.Quote:

The pin tail (aka spike tail) is one of the best shapes ever. I you are unable to can't catch fish on it, 1. you aren't where the fish are or 2. you are working the lure too fast or 3. your jig is too heavy.
I won't go fishing without a few in the boat.

These were produced from the film left on a serving spoon used to stir hot plastic in a Pyrex cup.
The film was cut into these shapes and dipped a few times to increase body diameter:

They are on par with any good lure ever made.
Have a little eel look.
Do you have a link for this mold? I like the Beaver Bottom style baits but would like a 2" .
