Snake showed us some nice plastics yesterday that came out of the small fry molds. Thats one of my favorite baits in the 1.75" blocks. I was playing with mine too last night trying to get a river crappie box put together with more natural looking baits. These are now in the box......




I like less bold colors on the river crappies when casting is the method used to get to them. I have seven colors really nice shad-appearing baits now that don't put your eyes out when you look at them in the sun.

The hand poured bellies are a thinned out pearl with some assorted glitters and just a mere hint of turquoise hi lite. The top colors started off as a super thin smoke, then color added. The purple was given a lift by a drop of red transparent in the 4 ounce batch and then finished off with some violet hi lites. The blue began with the same thin smoke and got a drop each of turquoise and electric blue plus two drops of transparent blue and a pinch of blue hilites. Purple, garnet and blue glitter warmed up both color.
