Posts: 2258 Location: SE, WI. | I do pour some creatures from time to time! Interesting how these tails peek our interest compared to the tail that we chased 30 years ago...  Oh...BAT... stands for BIG A$$ TRAILEREdited by jdsplasher 5/2/2010 9:42 PM Attachments ----------------  IMG_0113.jpg (142KB - 242 downloads) | ||

Posts: 4053 Location: Land of the Musky | Go to www.lurecraft.com and you can make your own too. They have lot of molds and everythign you need to make them. PS www.mooreslures.com is also a great place to get these. Dick is the man! If he does not have it he can find it! Edited by Tackle Industries 1/10/2010 10:29 AM | ||

Posts: 2258 Location: SE, WI. | Reelman; That is a good Question. The word special does not really apply here. Maybe the word unigue. Some of these patterns and others I made are off other plastic worms, lizards, and bass patterns that were used in the past. Some of my patterns are unigue because you really dont see much of this stuff around any more. And All are hand poured... Some of the different things I do are put a cork or balsam wood inside plastic tails, Inject air in plastic to make more bouyant, use hardeners for certain baits to give them more kick. Some of the designs are pieced together to give plastics more action. Like the stems on my paddletails. The old paddles have a thick stem and very little or no kick to the tails. Also hardeners for longer lasting baits. What also is unigue is the sizes and shapes that are desined to do different things, like certain jigs coming threw the weeds better, jigs that helicopter downward (glide), jigs that have better penetrating hooks, split tails that are larger. I could go on and on about my ideas. This would of been a good question for the winter months. You are right, many bass plastics will work. BUT, It is tough to find them in certain patterns. Many variables here. I am sure Mr Worrall might have more time than I do to answer you further. Work comes early. Goodnight Edited by jdsplasher 5/3/2010 6:52 PM | ||

| This is the new Berkley Power Bait Heavy 7" Thump Worm. What do you guys think about this one for muskys? I've never used anything like these for skis before. Edited by reelman 5/7/2010 9:05 AM Attachments ---------------- Picture.jpg (104KB - 158 downloads) | |||

Posts: 2258 Location: SE, WI. | Sure reelman ; The 7" power bait should work W/ the thumper tail. Just rig it with a power head or pyramid. Super glue it, and work it. Only problem will be its durability? | ||

Now you got some attraction going. Let me know how you do. It should work and give it more inticement. I just hope it does'nt cost you a buck $ NOW!!!  Edited by jdsplasher 5/7/2010 4:26 PM | ||

Posts: 2258 Location: SE, WI. | Steve; I was going to suggest that, but the lizard body would cost another 50 cents...LOL I do pour up dingalings, but my paddles are 3 times the size as the dingaling paddle. I do have about 6 of the originals yet.  | ||

Posts: 2258 Location: SE, WI. | Joel; Nice going on the jigs. I have not had a bump on a jig yet. Only fished them an hour or so. With this cold front, they should shine even more. You using the blade or paddletail? I have been using more conventional baits with the warm start and all the wind we had. Got 4 legals this past week, But Lynne and I both lost fish in the 40's. Mine on topwater, and hers on my home made spinnerbait W/ a ten blade...WOW. Did move 3 fish over 46 last weekend with one pushing the magic mark. Unfortunately we got this cold front which the water temps went from 64 last weekend to 53- 54 this weekend...east end. The rollercoaster continues!!! Too bad we had this setback...deep weeds were really starting to grow nicely. The spawn was pretty much over opening weekend. The big fish that were caught had little or no skars. Stuck 2 legals this mourn though...surprising? What lake are the creatures working? JIM | ||
