6" crappies and baby bass

Funny . in your first post it appeared to be of silver color , now it seems to be rather white !

Still I like the first pic better , but still I like this color design best !

Nice work Mark! How do you like the action? I really like the work you did on the Tail! Looks Good!

That's a sweet looking bait Mark, Great work!

Dean

Very cool. I really dig the design. Its like a mix between realism and retro! I'll side with Rookie, the tail is wicked!

Dieter,

This is a lousy picture. I had already tied it on to my rod, so I just used the black boat cover for a background, and it doesn't photograph well. In real life, it does look silver, with black scale lines.

Rookie,

It swims like a fiend, with a flag waving action, even at low speeds. And when I burn it, it goes nuts. I couldn't be happier about the action.

I made the tail out of a clear margarine tub top. It's a tough, flexible plastic, that I sand to add grain in the direction I want, like rays, and then color with sharpies.

Dean,

Thanks. The best part is I already know it catches fish.

A-Mac,

I wanted something that would look like a crappie or baby bass in color pattern, and in body shape, more or less. I don't think the bass have degrees in prey identification. If it swims, so it looks alive, and is reasonably colored, so it resembles something they eat, it works. And I want something that will attract their attention, like the big chartruese eyes with the black outline, an idea I got on this forum.
