bluegill colors
i realized recently that the bass around me feed on bluegill but i have been using perch type lures. I have an ugly crankbait and i was thinking i could turn it into a bluegill patterned medium runner. even if i couldnt what color lures best imitate bluegills?

creatures
how do you make yours? i just take mangled ones and melt them together with a glue gun. my mini spider grub caught a few crappies already but im still wondering what to put on my bass creature

i also made a mini spider grub for panfish with a tube and grub combination. the tube skirt faces the jighead while the swirly tail is in the back

creatures
has anyone had luck with plastic creatures? i began making my own that combines some good features bass like. and i think it is pretty good but i havent used it yet. I slither it across brush piles in my cichlid tank and the fish respond to it but dont exacly strike. i hear the yamamoto Kreature is good

Lure Modifications
ive been making my own creatures but i havent tried them yet. plastic lures tear apart then you melt them together and make your own masterpiece. you dont need to mold and pour plastics for some good old homemade ones

your dream lures
i meant one that doesnt exist, like one of a kind.

your dream lures
you can easily make a dream soft plastic lure. just pull apart cheap ones and melt them together. im currently making a cray/lizard/tube bait

your dream lures
what would they be? i wish i had a Lip less Megabass Crank in fathead minnow pattern. Fatheads seem to be every where and ive yet to see a lure like one. Id also like to see some more realistic bluegill pattern lures

New Lure coming out.
i saw a so called popper and crankbait in one on tackletour

rattler color
they are matzuo, a small name brand. ill invest in a sinking rattler anyway i trashed the split rings where you tie on the knot. they screw up its action

rattler color
i got a 5 pack of rattling crankbaits (lipless) and i was wondering of the 5 i got which should be the most efective: Firetiger (has some shine to it) Chrome and black back Bronze and black back Copper and black back Chrome and blue i dont know. it was a steal, i bought them for 2.50 total!

spider jig
not a single bass today but a great crappie day

spider jig
ive used crayfish as feeders for my fish. when my dempsey looks at it, the crayfish knows to scoot backward with the occassional jump and then the dempsey clobers him. its cool having preditory fish when you know you fish for predators (bass) so you can study similar behavior so i would reel in and jig right?

spider jig
i picked up a weedless (wireguarded) spider jig and i was wondering how do you retrieve them? like any other crayfish imitation?

lizard help again
im goin fishing tommorow so ill try my T rig lizard. do multiple hooks help? actually, just that one was deformed. the other 9 i tested in my cichlid tank and they swam fine with regular action. my jack dempsey tried to bite it but i didnt want to take any chances.

Flatting down barbs
i wish my dad did that when i first started fishing
-
Colors?
for soft plastics i usually use shades of green and brown in any water. i found black and red flake effective too
-
lizard help again
thanks, and i guess a lizard profile attracts strikes, but it gives off less vibration. i usually use the t-rig because it it drags on the bottom and you can bump it off of rocks. there is no real open areas in my local lake

Cranks & rattles
matzuo rattles in bronze-ish. it looks like a shiny crayfish color. i dont use crankbaits but i do use hard jerkbaits. id go for yo zuri crystal minnow
-
lizard help again
i seemed to have been doing good but my lizard luck has been getting lower and lower. i dont know what color to use because i used all my black/red flake and i have some watermelon. are watermelon good? should i go carolina or texas? these watermelon lizards dont have very good action. for some reason, their leggs dont always swim
-
can I?
if it looks like an easy protien meal, bass hammer it.

carolina rig question
zoom lizards and many crayfish, tubes, creatures,etc work. most zoom bags are about 2.50 near me.
