A good lure design = good action/shape and size

Poop colors work well too. Fresh cow pie green (aka green pumpkin) is a producer. So is dog poop brown. Bicolor green and brown is good too. And there aren't any cows or dogs around most of the lakes so I don't know what "hatch" these baits match.

Larger baits and some bass pics would be nice. Although I understand your obsession with panfish: some people like numbers, some choose fewer fish but larger sizes.

I have about a liter container of damaged soft plastics that I could repurpose. But lately I have really been liking the TPE plastics (Zman, etc.). And I have at least a lifetime supply of soft plastics I bought on sale already.

@senkosam Your posts about lure making are very informative and can help many anglers catch more fish. Nevertheless, I have to remove your replies to @camobass to avoid stirring the pot. I've asked Camo not to engage as well so it would only be fair if his name isn't mentioned here.

@HookEmDanO the rules are simple. Stick to the forum topic, which is "Panfish".

I wonder if the fish can tell if the lure is hand poured or not ?

So what Senkosam has left out is how he works the lure: depth, retrieve. I suspect he is good enough at working the lure and putting it in the right spot that he would get fish on about any soft plastic on a jighead or hook. My experience is that this is often more important than the exact lure. So Senkosam, how are you working the lures?
