Title: VEE-Core
Post by: efishnc on 02/27/21 18:50 UTC
As nice as it was today I decided to get out in the garage for some tinkering... although I have another core that I am working on (for a later release), I couldn't help but make a tribute to the crew for the free sample hooks.

Awesome "e-core" Efishnc! Just awesome. That should work well with the I-Craw.

Thanks Wacker.

Believe it or not, I did not use UV Blast powder for this core... I used some of the original Caney Creek motor oil for it (which had UV enhancers built in)... and of course I knew this, so I put the UV light on it to make it pop for the second picture.  The original motor oil is probably my absolute favorite bass and second favorite walleye color (after chartreuse) because of that feature.

Lines, Shaun, & Tom-
This is definitely my favorite craw color (with or without flake)... whether in a legit craw mold or a 4" double-tail twister, It'll put a hurt on the the smallies and wallies when dragged on the bottom.

When you look at the second picture, do you see what I see?

That frogs got spurs!  I like it!  I'm hoping there are some left, this snowpack we had this winter made easy pickings for the predators and I found a few this weekend that got stripped and didn't go 20.

Yes, it was an unintentional byproduct of cut line I made (and I didn't actually see them until reviewing the pictures the next day)... but as every avid turkey hunter knows, a good set of spurs are called _______?

Go Victory!

I've always heard that a nice set of spurs was referred to as HOOKS... and any bird sporting these bigger spurs was referred to as "a limb-hanger" because a younger bird wouldn't have hooked spurs and therefore could not hang from a limb... but I can see your usage and how such spurs could also be called limb-hangers for the same reason.  Anyway, my hunting buddies and I have passed the phrase "nice hooks" back and forth when congratulating each other on bagging mature toms, so when I looked again and saw the spurs on the V-core, it led me to the immediate thought of having some "nice hooks" (which I'm sure you now see the connection).


I'm guessing these terms might be somewhat regional/generational like the old timers where I grew up referring to walleyes and saugers as "pike" (i.e. walleyed pike and sand pike).
