Making some downsized chatterbaits to chase spotties. Been using some fairly large lures (2/0 and 3/0 hooks, 16 grams + trailer). This has a 1/0 hook and weighs 8 grams.
Herexs how it compares to the older model.
Also making various jigs....new favorite color is Pro‐Tec Bold Gill.
I think I will add a hint of black to darken it a bit.

Split tail trailer. It did not impress the largemouth bass at Sweetwater yesterday....but I got to see how it swims. Flails around pretty good.
Happy Holidays!

Nice little lures... And back at you about the Holidays...

Made a few black w dashes of other colors. Eyes and blades next.
Started out to make some petite chatterbaits just for spotties. But when the lead's hot might as well pour some other stuff. And when the fluid bed's hooked up, might as well...and so it goes.

4 inches long. Skinny as a bic pen. 10 grams/.4 ounces. Ultimate goal is to add a short skirt that covers the split ring...hollow core so the body can wiggle. Bigger chatterbaits chop through the grass and are 94.7% weedless. Hoping this will be, too.

I’m liking it.
