Title: Here's the fry clan
Post by: ctom on 03/28/22 09:02 UTC

.... that will be going to the lake this spring. Two of these colors have already been fishing and they do well producing crappies. And smallies. I'm doing a little test to see if eyes matter using the junebug/chartreuse tailed baits and as you can see some have eyes while the others do not. All of these colors are crappie catchers in the 1'5" Thump-It and a 2"Swing Impact along with a 1.75" minnow bait so I'm not really testing colors. As you can see I really like the sunfish bait in the lower two left compartments that were done using junebug as the back color, but these I have not had in the water yet. The green glitter just makes the baits pop. The top center and right are the same sunfish patterns that I have used prior only with a smoke purple back color and crappies really hit them well.

On the eyes, and I have mentioned this before, the partycrasher/clear with the chartreuse tail and some of the shad in the center compartment have the Attack Series precision pearl eyes. Note the blue outer ring that comes out when in the light. The outer ring is normally just silver when inside the house but put these eyes in sunlight and WALLAH! Seeing these yes in the water is cool.

Great looking box there Tom.  Have you tried any of these color combos in the fat fork?

Eyes or no eyes, those should be killers.

Wow them is awesome! Party Crasher glitter?  How much of that do you usually use? I'm not sure if I'm using to much or not enough.

Anyfish....these colors would be great with the Fat Fork bait.

Shaun.... I use about 1/2 Teaspoon of the Partycrasher glitter in a 4 ounce batch of clear plastic, maybe just a touch more in that clear/chartreuse tail in the lower left corner of the box..

Those colors would look good on that new Quakin Shad mold also!
