"Flip In the Bird" sells a Red Wing Blackbird model:

The original yellow headed blackbird frog was created after an employee at our shop witnessed it first hand. He then got Snag Proof to make a full run of the color in their frogs. It has gone on to become the best selling color we've carried and a consistent producer at Clear Lake and the Delta - although most people believe red/black at the Delta is a more accurate representation of the bird population there.

me?

I've got a black Jitterbug that I've had for years. I painted some red spots on the sides.

Looks like a baby black bird splashing around.

works like a Turk.

Gotta love the consumer impulse buying! All but one color on backorder.

This is my Black Buzz Bird that I throw around the reeds. I build the skirt which goes in front of the regular skirt out of the Stanley Pro Trailer and fill the rattle holes with skirt material to make the wings. It can be used on the black bladed spinner bait and jigs.

I rob a nest and use live hatchlings for bait!

Ha! Just kidding.

Nothing like the real thing. Ha..

I used to use this, but found the squirrel pattern to be so much more effective.

I discovered this pattern by accident one day a few years ago. Up in the end of our lake, it's really swampy. Lots of shallow water, vegetation, cypress trees.... a lot like Caddo.

Anyway, one evening I was fishing up in that area by myself and it was real quiet. It was almost dark when I noticed a laydown tree that was extending out from the bank into the creek channel. I then noticed an acorn sitting on the end of the tree out in the creek. While I watched, a fox squirrel ran down the tree and began to eat the acorn. Suddenly, there was a huge swirl and a big bass jumped out the water, grabbed the squirrel and disappeared!

Well, things quieted back down and it got slick as glass again. Suddenly, the bass came back up out of the water and placed the acorn back onto the tree.
