Ready to rumble….
« on: 04/05/23 16:01 UTC »
I’m thinking that if we get the high water this year based on Minnesota’s northern snow pack the bass will likely need scuba gear. Regardless, this rig is ready to go diving to find them.

It's the 1/4 Arky using the Victory 3/0 10786 hook. Watermelon/red flake powder paint. The plastic is the new cnc version of the Katana Craw done with the twin injector, a blend of Motor Oil X2 and Amber X2 on the bottom with watermelon/red flake on top.

I'm going to shoot some bright orange craws to harvest claws and see how they turn out with this new mold.

Tom, did you have a chance to pour any craws with the orange claws added?  If so how did they turn out?

  For a crappie fisherman that's not a bad looking jig. Now I want to get me some popcorn a sit on the side watching you toss that with your ultra lite and 4 pound test.  :P

 It was good. Thanks. South America is a beautiful place. Patagonia was a place like no other.
