Here's a handful....

....of the same baits as the small greenies show in the other thread. I am seriously liking this bait and will be re-ordering more. Maybe many more.

 

[dbowling]

really like those especially the pink one and the blue backed one, crappie should love them.

Another Pretty batch Tom. You sure do nice work.

How do you put the hooks on, split rings or just open the end of the eye on the hook?

 

[MrTom]

Split rings on the hooks Shawn. These use a size 10 treble hook. I leave the tie eye open and use a small clip to hang the lures on the line. This allows for maximum action.

 

[ShawnT]

I too use a small clip. The one I use is for Fly's, or at least that is how they were described on the package.

Now that hunting seasons are all gone for me I start thinking of fishing again and looking at your lures is feeding that desire to get out on a lake. Unfortunately thats not going to happen till Memorial day.

 

[MrTom]

Not fishing until Memorial Day has to be painful.

On the very small cranks I use the fly clips as well. Just a snap as a rule most of the time.

We had serious high water/run-off this spring that opened a lake just north of home up and I've been there a few times off a dock tinkering with these small crank baits and plastics but no action yet. The water temp was 43 degrees at the last trip and I need about 50 degrees to see any consistent smallie or crappie action out there. Maybe one day this week again now that we've seen a couple 50 degree days and yesterday's 64 degrees.

I have another 65-70 small baits to paint yet so when the weather sucks I do that. If its decent out I'm cleaning gardens or doing plastics. Or trying to fish. And I may have this order of things mixed up occasionally. lol
