Title: New Goby bait....
Post by: Partycrasher on 05/05/15 13:32 UTC
I've had quite a few Browns regurgitate some really big Gobies in the past month.  Some of them are in the 5" range.  So I started playing with this new Goby imitation and it's been on fire!

I use the Tube-Tx mold and either 1/4 or 3/8th head.  Then I slide a 3" Carrot stick on the rear of the hook.  Over that, a 3" tube that I trim to 2.25".  The carrot stick as a tail looks just like a goby tail.  And the tube tails puff and flair like the over-sized fins on a goby. 

Overall length is 4".  A tube itself is a great Goby imitation but the addition of the carrot stick tail makes it a dead ringer.  I can't wait to try this on Sturgeon Bay Smallmouth.

Way to mix 2 styles to get an effective bait to catch them

That's ingenious! Maybe a new mold?
