Crawdads

I got my crawdad mold today.  It makes a 3.75 inch crawdad so should work well as a stand along or tipping a jig.  I should be able to do laminates with this mold by hand pouring one color, and injecting the next.  It makes a great looking bait.  It is known as the 702 craw and has swimming claws, so works good dragged on the bottom, hopped along or on a swim jig.  It may work well as a rockfish fly with the paddle claws too.  I am having fun making baits again.  I am just going through my plastisol too quickly!

 

I tried a few different colors, and a few with a laminated color.  I poured a color in both halves and shot a center color.  I like the green and chartreuse.  I am really liking this mold.  I just need to slow down to try colors and see what works before I make too many!

Tell you one thing, they work great here in Texas for pond bass.

nice stuff matt miss hanging with ya at shelter!

Thanks Eric!  I wish I could come to GMS, but May is a bad time for me.  I hope to get ahead of things and see you all there next year!  I am ready for some fish carnage on the kayak again.  I have a small bay runner I take my family out in, but nothing beats the kayak and time on the water.  I was going to head out for bass this week but the rain and thunder storms have me stuck inside.  I will be watching the GMS reports with great anticipation!
