    Since waking up at 3:30 in the morning and not being able to get back to sleep sucks, I just got up and went to the work bench to mess around.

    Most of the plastic used in the making of these was re-melts from other projects. The belly portions were all hand poured and the smoke and blue were injected to finish the baits with a twin injector.

    They look great in the picture but are even more striking in the sun in my hand. Now for the fish….

    Those black and blue shad look awesome. I can imagine the crappies this spring will not be able to resist them.
    NICE WORK

    Here are a couple more I’ve done of late using the same techniques and basically the same plastic colors save for one.

    Great looking baits Tom. The Crappies would definitely like those.
