Here’s a nice crappie color of paddletail that should get noticed on the Zumbro or Mississippi River. These are the 1 1/2″ paddletails I make. The plastic in this bait shown is a medium smoke with the standard firecracker glitter colors of red, blue and silver. All of the colors shown here, the smoke, the chartreuse and the pink have uv enhancement for optimal visibility by the fish. These would be a great very early morning bait or on a day with some overcast but not heavy clouds.
In the hand these are a real piece of work. Now if we could just get rid of this ice.
