Thread: What’s your favorite crappie mold?

Large serving spoon.

1.7/8-inch pintail mold. A phenomenal bait. I have two of the original 5 count molds and will use that bait 12 months of the year. Shoots perfect every time and is a catching machine.

LureCraft 1 7/8" Pintail Crappie Minnow Mold 20 Cav. 2 Pc. Injection 5XLU-161 (lurepartsonline.com)

The pin tail (aka spike tail) is one of the best shapes ever. I you are unable to can't catch fish on it, 1. you aren't where the fish are or 2. you are working the lure too fast or 3. your jig is too heavy.
I won't go fishing without a few in the boat.


These were produced from the film left on a serving spoon used to stir hot plastic in a Pyrex cup.
The film was cut into these shapes and dipped a few times to increase body diameter:


They are on par with any good lure ever made.

Have a little eel look.

Do you have a link for this mold? I like the Beaver Bottom style baits but would like a 2" .
