Senkosam Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 (edited) Bass are used to seeing crawfish with antennae so I added some 20# fluorocarbon to a double tail bait. Super glue hold the loop in place and I used nail polish to make the it black. You never know... Edited March 24, 2013 by Senkosam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Senkosam, I have added both antenna and legs using silicone skirt material. I like the action, but I'm not sure the baits worked any better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senkosam Posted March 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Also added some to a millipede. I figure the longer a bass stares at a bait deadsticked on bottom, the more cues it needs to eat it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painter1 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Seems right to me. Might make the difference for bed fishing. Let us know how it works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senkosam Posted March 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) Hopefully the 2nd week in April - the weather has been lousy in March in NY. I like the action, but I'm not sure the baits worked any better. We can only hope! LOL What combination of factors do we basically believe make some lures more enticing depending on mood? : shape/ profile, color, density/ softness, action at different retrieve speeds, rate of fall (if applicable), noise (if applicable) and anything else that tickles the lateral line. Bait size determines many of those considerations. Did I leave anything out? Edited March 25, 2013 by Senkosam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteSS Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Looks good but I doubt the fish care. I feel if for any reason the bait looks more attractive to US that we fish it better and with more confidence. ....Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Nothing breeds confidence like success, but unfortunately (me included) many anglers believe the bait they just caught a limit of lunkers on was the best bait in the world, forever and ever, and fail to realize one truth that usually accounts for that success - right place, right time. It's great for those who sell lures because once a lure stops producing, in the storage box it goes never to see the light of day for years, replaced by another that has about as much potential as the last. Kind of like the carot in front of the donkey... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
