Mayday Mayfly, 7-3-14

[Jerry V]

The diet of an adult pan fish, especially Bluegill and the rest of the Sunfish family, including Crappie, mainly consists of aquatic insect larvae (mayflies, caddisflies, dragonflies).  That is the motivation behind the development of this mold.  A mayfly larvae imitation it is, and we’ve made it in a size that fishes nicely and entices bites.  The bait itself measures 2” from antennae to tail tips with the body portion itself measuring in at 1-5/16” by 5/16” dia. at its widest point. 

Mayday Mayfly 2”, 6 cavity

Item #95280 = $89.00

This mold also is not yet on the web site but will be soon.  Until then, please contact customer service directly to order.  866-984-3648 -  customerservice@do-itmolds.com










Have a very safe and enjoyable 4th of July weekend everyone !!

WOW
Need to get me some of that to try for Trout. Super glue to hook and have an instant Trout Fly

I would dare say that looks like it should have even better fish catching potential than the crickets (not from a Do-it mold) that were posted some months back... I'm betting the tail (and legs) will jiggle almost effortlessly.  It's a shame I'm not much for panfish when there is open water, but I think I just found my new ice fishing go to!

[Muskygary]

Small jig under a bobber, got to be good! Especially in a river current. Maybe later on in a four inch size for msmallmouth?

That is a very realistic mold of a common aquatic insect.  I predict there will be a lot of fish caught on these baits.  Including some real surprise catches.  Great job Do-It.

.DIG.

[BareKnuckleJigs]

Yes, it's an Insect, but this bait will NICELY double as a Grass Shrimp.

I'm gonna stick that little puppy on the end of a fly line just to see what happens.

Perfect as a Damselfly nymph....or the Hexagenia (Fish Fly) that we get here. In the old days they had to get out the snow plows to clean them off the bridge roadways!

Two years ago a swarm of Hex's hatched in LaCrosse, Wi and blew all the way up here to Winona (about 30 miles)...they tracked the cloud of bugs on radar... stretching the entire distance!

I like

The Hex hatch is a really big deal out here for many fly anglers...for many, it's akin to The Second Coming.  The larve bury themselves in the mud and hatch at dusk on warm, sultry nights.  The Hex compared to a Blue Wing Olive is like comparing a grape to a softball.  I've spent many an hour on the Fall River sitting in a small boat waiting for those bugs to start popping.  When they did, big bruiser rainbows and browns would start slurping them down as fast as they came up.  We'd start throwing to the many rises and when it got dark we'd throw to the sound of the "slurp" all the while giggling like little girls.  This new mold brings back fond memories of times past.

May Fly hatches on Joe Wheeler were epic when I was much younger.  Bridge closures, all public lights turned off, billboards pulled down, etc.  Now you can't find a hatch large enough to draw fish hardly.

Was in La Cross once when they needed the snow plow to get 3"of them off the roads. Panfish & trout slayer. Great look bait.

[swbbaits]

any plans on a laminate plate for this. i really think this would also be great for barred surf perch over here in southern california
good stuff.

Yeah, I remember the plows coming out... and the young punks with cars whipping donuts through the piles of them, just like wet grass... but maybe that was just a Wisconsin thing.
