    Default Cool Idea


    Has anyone seen the soft plastic lures at barlows with hair or fur in the plastic. I think that’s an awesome idea with a ton of possibilities. Sort of reminds me of jelly and hackle jigs.

    Thanks for sharing.. These have some great walleye potential. I hope to see these baits evolve.
    I can see myself even modifying some old baits.

    These look like finesse baits for bass, but the idea will be good as long as the price doesn't make them too high! I don't think they will last longer than just the soft plastics, but I have not used one either so not sure. I think anything you can add hair or feathers to it will add action.

    Zell Rowland (bass fisherman) got famous by sanding down the old Pop-R baits and then painting them and adding some Hackle tail in place of the synthetic material tails.

    Those goby baits will reek havoc on some smallmouth, but I like em all. Great idea.

    I know they mold there's in but if you take a large eyed needle or even some wire you can pull hair into plastics and make your own.
