Thread: 1" Stingers

Still playing with the lighting to get the right effect for the camera on these baits so bare with me. I worked on these today. Got more planned for tomorrow and then some 2" Shad Stingers on the list.CF

Those look good!

Those 1" minnows work good all year long. They are a super good summer sunfish plastic.

I believe in them also. They are my go to bait. Tip them with a crappie nibble.

Ship in the picture of the CRAPPIE with the white JIG in its mouth what is the plastic bait.

Here's something else you can do with those segmented body ones.

Yeah, I have shot the double colors. Do You have any tricks for keeping the tails in place or are You just putting them back in one by one for the second color shot? I have been tucking them back in but the baits in that mold are so small and tight, it can be difficult to get them set up for a second shot and is very time consuming.CF

Looks nice. What size hook do you use on those baits?

Personally I cast a #8 sickle into a 1/32 head without a collar.

Its time consuming but that's how I do it. If you have trouble manipulating the tails back in place, use a toothpick to move them. Better than fingers. Even tail molds take time so there's really a no win thing here.
