Those are some awesome looking baits
The ingenuity of same bait manufacturers never ceases to amaze me . A man I know decided he was going to do a "ghost minnow " / silverside minnow replica in a plastic and this is the bait he came up with .
He wanted me to test them after he made them and sent me a bunch of color combinations in this design to put in the water . It took me a few days to find time to hit the water with them and yesterday early about sunrise I hit a spot I like . I went with no crappie nibbles to get a real idea of its true abilities and only gave it a shot of G sauce here and there to add a little scent to it .
The fish did their very best to destroy the bait to say the least and nothing hit lighter than a freight train I tell ya . I mean they hit it so hard it was just amazing . I am sure some of the takes are do the fall pattern timing but none the less man was it fun to get hit that hard .
This test run was about as successful as it gets I tell ya , I put hammer on them like a tv fishing show and that aint no joke my friends .
pitched it on a 1/32 ballhead number 4 red sickle hook jighead with 6 lb hi viz mono , fish wanted it slightly raising and drug horizontally thru the water column about 6 foot deep in 14 foot of water .
65 of the fish were legal with about a half dozen more or so that were under added to that count in 1.5 hours of pitching 2 locations on the same lake .
stay tuned my friends and for sure …….

Very nice plastics! Nice ketchn as always. Yup need to know where we can get some.
Snake River has been doing core shot plastics for years. He even tried to teach me the technique. I tried it many years ago doing some lateral line blood stuff and gave up on it.

Snake River is very good at the technique. Shoot him a PM

You dropped the hammer on em!
I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.
Been trying to use 1/32d and having difficulty in it falling to my brush pile/structure. Our fish insist on 20+’ so we are fishing deeper than many of you. I added a split shot to help get it down but worry that it may disaffect the jig action. We also occasionally have current that makes dropping anything less than 1/8th almost impossible. Any insights fellas?
