jmik26 Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Those are sweet, how do you got the swirl effect? Are they hand poured? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassnRandy Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Doesn't look like perch but I bet they will knock the tar out of it in dirty water. I would love to whacky rig those up here on the river, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishinator Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Those are some of the most unique and cool looking senkos that I have ever seen. How did you manage to pour those with that awesome looking swirl? Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Sock Posted April 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Those are sweet, how do you got the swirl effect? Are they hand poured? Yes all hand poured, done with a microwave. Just a matter of having two very hot colors or three :-) then adding drops of one color to another and pouring really fast. It took me a long time to learn how to do this and much plastic, when i first started, i had so mnay that were really inconsistent, but after much trial and error. I have made some really nice ones. best part is fish tear em up when i nose hook them and use it like a swim bait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Sock Posted April 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 wild looking dosent look like anything really. but theyve never seen so theyll be interested That's my MOTO, show them something different, I have fished enough smaller lakes and places to know that if you fish the same baits over and over you will get bit less and less. I don't believe bass are smart enough to think "hey not again" but I do think they can be conditioned to avoid certain things, either a certain smell,(powerworms) movement(steadily retrieved spinnerbait, wacky rigged senko) or sound (rattles in a rattletrap)...as usual i have no reasoning that would support this besides the fact that lures that produced all the time stopped working after a while. but who knows..the fish don't seem to be reading the same books as me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB GONE Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Nice baits One Sock.... How many times have you picked up a bait and said "If I was a fish, I'd eat that"!!! So you buy a couple and NEVER get bit!!!! My favorite colors (and best producers) swirled are yellow and bubblegum... :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Sock Posted April 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 never swirled the bubblegum, but yellow is a big seller for me, anything with yellow in it seems to be a favorite with smallie fisherman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB GONE Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 They like yellow because of its resemblence to a perch!!!! One of the biggest sellers for me is a color called Steve's Mustad. A mustard yellow color with black and silver flake. It slays the smallies!!!! Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabefishing Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 and the yellows don't work too well in my area, smokes and watermelon out sell everything, but my triple purple is doing really well for those who use it, can't keep them in stock... which is good, but i'm not big enough to pour as much as ya'll so it keeps me busy and cuts into fishing time lol I tried a dark watermelon and bubblegum swirl this afternoon, with your tips, turned out okay... definately looks different, only 2 months to go before bass season opens!!
