    Smile Dog Days Clear Water Bait that are working for me


    Yep, with the dying vegetation starting to surface, seems like the Dog Days have already started in the clear water spring fed lakes in my area,.
    With the abundance of schooling minnows I have tried simple colors to replicate them, and having success with these colors.

    All using 4oz of Essential Plastisol (colors may vary but should come close
    As I was also using some remelts)


    Coffee Top:
    (1) Teaspoon of fine grind coffee along with:
    (2) to (4) drops of Brown

    Belly:
    (3) drops Silver or Silver Pearl
    (2) drops White

    Black top:
    (4) drops Black
    (2) drops Silver Pearl

    Nice stuff b. Whose mold is that on the bottom left corner ? That looks like a nice little bait right there.

    2XL

    The lower Lft & upper Rt. are shot using the same Basstackle 641 Stinger. 2" mold.

    That particular color and bait is the one giving me the better bite

    I’m using a No# 4 Keel Hook using a 64oz bullet split shot sinker in front of the hook which gives me the best subtle action that I was looking for.

    Those would work for me if I made them as a walleye bait for cold water, but crappies up here wouldn't look at the combination. The differences between geographic areas and color choices is sometimes absolutely a puzzle.

    Thanks for your Input Everyone

    I agree on the geographic color differences, as the Spring lakes in my area that I fish have a lot less bite on sparkle, glitter bait, where the drab, pale color do the best.
    On the other hand where I fish the cloudy Fox Chain Lakes it's just the opposite result on bites.
    Go Figure

    The Older Keel Hooks design along with a 1/64th or 1/32nd oz split bullet nose really made a hook set difference using these baits.
