1.75 small fry

[shockley32]

The small fry has been an outstanding producer for me this winter.  I've been fishing the 2.5 and won a tourney Saturday with it.  The most productive colors on Saturday were black/green chart, blue/green chart, and pale blue with whisker glitter.  

I prefer to fish this on a 1/16th ounce round jig head, #2 sickle hook.  I use to take the time to paint my jig heads, however I just use them plain now - can't tell any difference in the number of fish I catch.  Saturday I was using am 1/8th oz on account of the 20 mph wind and rain.

Here's how I make my Monkey milk, however I don't like to use the same names as the big boys - I call it Sapphire Ghost

Sapphire Ghost:

1 cup plastic

5 small drops white

1/8th tsp  .015 Canada blue glitter

Touch of blue hi lite


This color is difficult to remelt the sprues, wants to turn the white into a blueish color.  This has been a great producer for me at certain times, especially when it is a clear sky, calm, and clear water.

Is it the Canadian Blue Glitter turning the bait on remelting?
Were the three color baits  black and green Laminate body with a Chartreuse tail ?  And same for the - blue/green - chart

It's possible the Canada blue is turning the bait - some glitters do funny things from time to time.  I'll pay more attention when I'm using Canada blue in some other stuff and see what it does.

Both the baits mentioned earlier were just two color laminates.  I like to mix green chart & emerald green together to make a more greenish chartreuse color.
