Bob, I saw this video of a different way to do a core shot technique. I am wondering if the technique could be used on a few choice crappie baits. The frogs turned out fantastic. Think outside the box on a minnow mold, opaque color minnow, different color core lateral line, chartreuse tail, stick on some eyes and redip the body in clear coat.
