baby croaker w/ hot legs
« on: 03/07/14 12:03 UTC »
Here's a 1.75" Croaker with some jazzed up legs.



I can see these legs twitching in a pocket of slop, under which a big ol crappie is finding some shade from the sun.
There are good ships
and wood ships
ships that sail the sea
but the best ships are friendships
and may they
always be ......An Irish Toast

Those look really good. I'll have to try it when I get my 3.5" in. How did you do the bodies?

I can see those hopping the bottom on a jig, layin' the smack down on a big ol (lethargic) summer smalllie!

As far as pouring a small bait goes, these guys are pretty easy.  I don't know that I could pour those small fries like Tom without a drizzle spoon and years of practice.  These guys I pour right from the Pyrex. Only takes a little practice, I got it on my 2nd try.
