I was looking for a soft plastic along the lines of a 10+ inch warerdog and wasn't having much luck... So I decided to make my own. Not the "cleanest" looking bait but the action is pretty good-Tail floats high and the size is what I was going for more than anyhting. Let me know ya'lls opinion or suggestions allways help me improve-PEACE OUT!

Should work . Had a good day on some water dog baits they used to sell in Midland years ago. Bought em, won the tournament and never caught anything after that day on em... I don't even remember exactly how they looked. Have to dig em out now.. pretty similar. Legs seem different. Don't know if the bass will care tho..

those look awesome, probably work better than anything on the shelf because ai think they look more life like! Maybe try and make the legs a little longer and see how that works, but they look good man.

You should add black flake or something into them. Look cool, you used them yet?

Thanks- They are very soft but since the body is soo wide and thick they are very durable for extended use and Tx Rig'in-alot more than I expected. Tail floats high- maybe too high is that's possible? Fished them at Fork Friday and Saturday...  Fairly difficult to cast in the wind since the tail is so long it catches the wind, but besides that I can't complain

I hope everyone is enjoying the summer...nice to have some relief from the Heat with the recent rain and cooler temps...I have been avoiding the scorching days by fishing at night. Throwing my Lizard as much as possible...Pouring new colors and experimenting with different rigs- Texas Rig is the best with a 1/8-3/16oz weight. Dead-sticking and slow creep'in along the dam at Lewisville and Grapevine has been producing fish in the 9 Lb range on a fairly consistant basis. The tail floats high and is as long as the body so with a 10-11in bait it tends to do all the work for you...The smaller ones tend to leave it alone and the larger than 5lb fish grab it and go... img.  /img img.  /img img.  /img God Bless-J
