Sugartit custom blanks
Based on helping him with the bait I would say they are slow floaters. He went through two versions before the one he sells because they were weighted too light. They will not match the suspending performance of an original MB but for $2 they are really good. I worked with him to compensate for weight of the bait with a 2 part epoxy and #6 hooks with ballasting. Allen

Sugartit custom blanks
Have you looked at Lurebuild,com? I know the owner and go to the shop about once a week. If you want me to check on a specific blank let me know. His Vision 110+1Jr blank is really good. Allen

Crankbait colors for lower visibility
Chartreuse or white with a dark back would be my starting point. Rattling baits if the water is unusually murky. Allen

My first creature bait fishing
Creature baits are one of my top 3 baits overall for bass fishing. Like a couple people said the full-size Brush Hogs just don't work for me. Tiny, baby, super, and even the new mid-size all work well. Below I will list my top 5 Creature baits in no particular order. 1. RI Smallie Beaver=GP, California 420, (actually let me know if you find a color that doesn't work) 2. Zoom Baby Brush Hog= GP, Scuppernong, Avacado 3. Zoom Super Hog= GP, Scuppernong 4. Yamamoto Kreature Bait= GP, Orange with green and black flake. 5. Berkeley Power Hog 4"= GP, Solid Black, Castaic choice 6. Honorable mention goes to Berkeley Mud Critter= GP, Solid black, Pumkinseed. Now I know everyone has favorite baits of their own. The list about is based on 20 years of fishing and not a single good day with a bait. If you notice there are only a few colors that have stood the test of time. Allen

Lure Identification
Looks like a Lee Sisson bait to me? He worked for Bagelys if I remember correctly then started his own company. His baits are similar to Bagely and he would use 3d eyes like on the bait here. Allen

Fish them March to the end of October generally around here. Summer baits I throw are more natural colors with smaller willows or a black with large colorado for night fishing. Allen - Bait ID ??
