Action Craw

[BareKnuckleJigs]

Which Do-It Craw has the most Claw Action, that doesn't have CurlTail Legs/Claws?  Would that be the MudBug 3.75"?

Yep.

Thank You, Andy Sir!

The Mud Bug is a very good craw mold as far as I am concerned.  I really like it.

Roger on'dat, Mr. Paul.  Was pondering getting the Claw Mold to add those Claws to a few baits, some being OP's, some injection molds may accomodate them, whether injected or hand-poured...

That's a good idea, you have me thinking now..

Roger!  We have more "molds" than we think we do!  If You have the Mud Bug Claw mold, with it's "wave", not "wag" like a curltail, a single Mud Bug Claw set into an OP Worm like the Flippin' Stick, would give You a new bait...if You have a Toad mold, You can cut its Legs off and add them the same way to make a straight bait swim/thump.  Small Curltail Baits or Tails (like the small appendage on a Flippin' Gorilla, Gorilla Tube, or the Tail of the Go-Go or Swim Grubs) can give an OP Finesse Worm a Swim Tail.  There's more where that came from...mmwahahahahaaaa!

I think a lot of great baits evolve from some imaginative though. I've done a bunch of weird, weird baits that have caught fish and they are currently bagged up for the future. Some day I'll get some of the rtv molding rubber to make molds of them for hand pouring after components from other molds get added. The cut and weld works ok for a couple baits, but when one turns out near perfect, that's the one you want for the rtv mold and the future will be filled with perfect baits from it.

Man's ability to create is only as limited as his imagination.

ExActly, Mr. Tom!  I have one such Stingray Grub...among others.  Oh how I dig what we do...

Marc, aka Partycrasher, is a great example of forward thinking and with lead molds. Mo's baits is yet another great example of how the imagination can lead to something very big. Try trimming the entire tail off of one of the 2 1/2" Mo's baits and then threading some marabou into the body section....fuzzy grub. This can be done with basically any plastic body. Take the legs off a frog and replace them with marabou.

Sky's the limit.....just imagine.

Roger!  I'm planning to use the Zipper Worm in place of the Legs of the Toad to make a straight-legged Frog that should dart more like a Hollow Floater, but one that can also "dive" (slow fall) when I let it.  Like Your Marabou, Zonker Strips would be killer, too.  Imagine.  Imagination.  Application.  Presentation.  Xplode-ation.
