I just got our mail from the neighbor who's been collecting it while we were gone. I have the new Fry Thumper mold in my hands right now and man is it a nice piece of work. I'd hoped to stay away from the plastic for a day or so yet, but this new arrival will throw a wrench in those plans. Pics to follow later today.
Here is a pic of the finished product.

I've been a Culprit staffer for the past 11 years, recently retired from the company though, and the tail on this bait is remarbly similar to the bait which Culprit had. I worked in the panfish/crappie side of the company and when they dis-continued the paddletail they offered, I was out the door. But this Caney bait is sweet. My compliments to Jason on what will certainly be a winner. The river behind our house is open yet so I may run down and make a few casts to see if a walleye or crappie wants to come play.
