Matt - Save me a couple because I guarantee you I will pay for those spinnerbaits. Those blades are awesome and the bass won't know the heads are painted upside down.

can't decide what to call this -- flip-n-shake or shake & bake

Those look great. If you don't mind me asking how did you modify your mold to take a screwlock?

Craig--
If you go to page 6 ( in Building lures & pouring plastics)there is a topic titled "Where to get this mold" and it will explain my way to build just the shakey head version. On this one I just snip below the skirt collar instead.

Cool design on those lipless cranks. Would be interested to see the unique wobble on retrieve.

I've not had a chance to fish these yet. I'm kinda wondering the same thing about how they fish. They have a large weight in the nose toward the front hook. I'm guessing they are really designed to rip off the bottom and let settle back. They are a little wider than a rattle trap, with the top rounded (no flat spots to make it wiggle)

Thanks Steven. I have the same mold and want to get more use out of it.

Wanted too try customizing some Jigs. Found a TFF'r too buy some jigheads from. Took a 6011 1/8 welding rod. It worked perfect too plug the brushguard from the powder paint.



Have a few Blowin Up Skirts that I had in the tackle bag.



Coated with Junebug and watermelon flake. Galaxy with disco red. Two tone Fail!

Will post a pic after I get them tied together hooked


I'd Tack That!!

Great craw patterns...I prefer to fish realistic patterns whenever possible. It sounds like they are lift and drop style bait. Thinking a double treble on the front hook hanger and an EWG on the rear would be a good hook combo. Add a few inches of braid to the back hook hanger and you have a pretty dang realistic crawfish bait. They do have internal rattles? Good post Swalker9513 thumb

yes, they have rattles. I got a blank out, and there is a weight behind the front hook holder too.

Dang some of you guys got some serious talent!

I see one soft bait that I am going to need a custom color done in and one crankbait that is the best craw pattern I have ever seen! I will be in touch with a couple of yall and see if we can work something out.
