Playing with some shad stingers

[shipahoy41]

I was creating some one inch glow-in-the-dark and two inch shad stinger lures today for my pastor. This is what he wanted.

They look great. They really glow too.

I've been dosing up my belly colors with a bit more silver glitter and have enjoyed the way the fish respond to it. Those with the chartreuse bellies are sweet and would be a lip licker for the crappies up here. Nice work Mike. Oh and what music have you got on when you work those glows?....The future's so bright I gotta wear shades?'' lol Great stuff bud!

Now that is funny my friend. The stereo in my workshop usually is playing CD's by.....
1) The Temptations,
2) Smokey Robinson,
3) Gospel or
4) Motown slow songs.

Those usually put me in a mellow mood. You know they are bright when you look in the water at dusk and the crappie are wearing sunglasses. (By the way the green glow-in-the-dark is twice as bright) I learned the glow-in-the-dark secrets from skiptomylu back in 2006. Skip finally revealed his secrets last year. Here is his thread. http://www.crappie.com/crappie/jig-t...ips-glow-jigs/

I started using the technique in soft plastics back in 2013. I do not sell my glow-in-the-dark much because people cannot afford them. I mostly make those just for me or for my pastor. Thank you my friend for the encouragement.
