    How long? Mold source if you don't mind me asking? (pm me if confidential)

    Tip: if the stick is 2", use a 1/32 oz ball head jig with #6 hook. You'll cast a nice distance using braid with a 12" fluorocarbon leader for best action.
    The stick can be wacky rigged using a 1/16 oz ball head with #4 hook. You'll catch everything swims no matter the size!
    You can go to Bass tackle they have the small version of those .

    Sorry Spoon. It's all top secret info. Just kidding. LOL Enforcer makes the mold and the sticks are 2" long. Thanks but the colors are nothing special. Just a green pumpkin with red flake in one and blue flake in the other. It just happened to be the colors I was working with at the time. I'll be making more of these in different colors today.

    Thanks for the tips on how to fish them. I was wondering about the hook size on the jigs. I'll be pouring some jigs in those sizes soon. I am used to fishing plastic for panfish but this will be totally new to me. I imagine a guy could fish these under a float too ?

    Bob, they have no mold in that exact shape.
    Thanks 2XL.

    A few suggestions using stick lures:
    1. The lure has weight and will cast 30' or more so using a light 1/32 jig head is #1 to allow the magic wiggle to cause those impulsive strikes. Very little rod tip action is necessary but a few twitches now and then with pauses imparted is all that's needed for sedentary fish (which normally accounts for 99 % of all fish) to attack. The rig places the head of the jig at one end.


    2. Try 1/32 and 1/16 oz ball heads wacky rigged. (middle hooked for those not familiar with wacky rigs). Watch the lure go down at your feet to the bottom. The lure's body and tips should quiver subtly making it one of the best lure actions ever! Also, while the lure is mid-depth, twitch is a few times. This drives fish nuts around weeds and near shorelines or anywhere fish accumulate.


    3. Using the 1/32 oz jig under a float should work but remember to pull the float a foot or more ever so often with the rod tip and pause for about 6 seconds or longer. The leader under the float should place the lure just above the fish so experiment. You may also want to shorten the stick 1/8" - 1/2" to present a smaller profile when fish are less inclined to hit the 2" size.

    It's a great design and I have a way to make them myself, but more time consuming than using a mold.
    BTW, the grub stick bodies were attached together by slightly melting two ends after the curl tails were cut off. Works as well as any stick!

    There was only one 2" stick bait crappie mold. (5 cav.)
    Bass Tackle sticks are a bit too thick for my liking.

    Yes.
    I've gotten molds from them before and have never been disappointed.

    Thanks again for the tips Spoon. I'll be trying these on a small (under 150 acre) no motor lake near me that has big gills and decent crappies in it.

    I added a few more colors yesterday. Name:  IMG956998.jpg
