Ya know, if You were tryin' to get ahold of me, all You had to do was shoot me a PM!  You didn't have to do it on a Thread!

lol...ok. since I have ya, you've gone to the 4 in., correct??  is it little larger in diameter, yes??  3 in. (for saltwater) seems a little small in diameter. Your thoughts??

Mainly on a double rig of the 1/8 oz. Darters (570/575) with Mustad 32831BLN 3/0, but I just got both the Darter and Erie molds (1/8 oz. cavities of each) modified to take the 3/0 and 4/0 32831BLN.  The Erie is a bit more minnow-head-shaped and WELL suited for 2 Big Ol' 6mm Flat Eyes.  I'm going to weigh both heads with both hooks though.  Just so I know which is lighter/heavier for the application.  The 3" Skinny is an extremely well-rounded bait when rigged with the 3/0's.

"Gone to the Skinny4", uuh, well yeah probably, but that Skinny3 will be my smaller bait.  I also have the 2.5" Carrot, which is the same diameter of the Skinny3, and the same diameter of the Skinny4.  If I want to throw a bait with the old "Popcorn Sparkle Beetle" size/action-approach, I'll throw the 2.5".  The Skinny4 isn't available in the store though.

I love the tubehead jig from do-it..not the one that goes inside the body of tube..but the reg. jighead. 1/8th, 1/4 (don't know if it's avail. in 1/16th)   great for all plastics.

(again) do u fish the  4 inch skinny?? what's it like..bigger than 3"

lol, that's a lot of skinnies, carrots...felt like I was in carrot vortex for a minute.   Thanks...off to the gym!

I received my Skinny4 when i got home 3 weeks ago.  That bait caught every fish that got to the boat October 10th, and every fish that didn't quite make it to the boat.  The Skinny3 has a 3/4" body, and the Skinny4 has a 1" body.  That Skinny4 will remain my mainstay in Inland Salt, hands down.  If I only had 1 mold, it'd be the Skinny4.  If I had choice of only 2 molds for the Salt, Skinny3 and Skinny4.  The specs on my Skinny4 are... 1" body, 3" of taper, and slightly rounded tip.  That bait and the Skinny3 are UnStoppable.

Mr. Paul knows the numbers, but I don't.  Here's all I know... the 2.5" Carrot and the Skinny3 are the same diameter, which is the diameter of the Skinny4.  The 3" Regular, 3.5" and 4" (4" regular, available in the store), Skinny5, Skinny6 and Skinny7, I think are all the same diameter.

Oh my this is some carrot mayhem. I got dizzy reading the thread lol.

I believe bareknuckle is correct on his post.  The 3.0 Inch Skinny is 0.3125 ( 5/16th's ) diameter as is the 2.5 Inch carrot.  The 3.5 Inch is 0.375 ( 3/8th's ) diameter.  The 6.0 Inch skinny is also 0.375. I do not have a 4.0 Regular or a 5.0 or 7.0 Skinny; but I think Bareknuckle is correct based on what I understand.  They are also 0.375 in diameter.
