Grady lee Garrett Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 What do you all think is the top crappie mold , that has a tail mold? I'm pretty new, like 2 weeks into learning how to make baits, chose a few molds that are 4 and 6 cavity with tails that are thin and hard to put back in the mold.

Grady lee Garrett Posted April 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 Thanks Sam, your like the second person that has told me that, looks like that will be my next mold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrogAddict Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 I personally like the Stinger from BassTackle as well. I have been working on a 1 inch boot tail for Crappie as well. Those little baits are a real son of a you-know-what to work with though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grady lee Garrett Posted April 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 Thanks frog addict, which stinger do you like? One inch is small, what is a boot tail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrogAddict Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 Grady, A boot tail is the flat tail (see attached picture). I have the 1.5 inch stinger btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grady lee Garrett Posted April 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 Oh, that one is nice, I have yet to crappie fish with a boot tail. Heard they can be good. Have you caught much with the boot tail? How do you fish it? Looks like a swim bait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrogAddict Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 yeah, the picture is a 3.5 inch swim bait I make but the idea is the same. I'm still working on a 1 inch version for crappie. It's hard to get the right action with such a small lure. I'm on version 3 now. Still looking for perfection or at least close. I fished a 1 inch boot tail/swim bait last year for crappie and it worked great! I just ripped it and let if fall. The crappie mostly hit on the fall.
