Dragon fly nymphs . Put a split shot a propeller blade a red bead then a hook . Jamb one of those on and go kick some perch in the tail. Green with white pearl belly .

Very realistic baits.  Are the resin molds or aluminum?  If aluminum; they are the work of a true  craftsman.

Oh baby way cool . I've got a tiny cricket mold . It has no head on the body . which for me is good cause I use a foot ball head 1/32 . Custom mold a guy has . I peck the ends of the ball flat . then I put on 2 or 3 mm 3D eyes depending on how hard I whack the head .lol Makes a cool looking bait  but the fish swallow the dang thing from intake to tail pipe .

Jerry, Whats the chance that Do-It can make up some molds like IGOR has. I remember as a kid I would catch a ton of perch on crickets the size that Igor is showing off.

A crickit mold... sounds like a good idea.  I'll have them look into it.

   I catch a lot of gills with Gulp crickets and hellgrammites but I always spill that smelly liquid onto myself and my tackle. A cleaner and cheaper option would be nice.
