The Asians there are actually kinda pretty compared to the Mucinex Boogers with fins that are in the Osage.

Have there been any studies yet on Creve Cour lake?  To see how it has "improved".

I haven’t heard anything but I’ll my ride bike to that back canal when the weather turns.  If they are in they will be in that canal.

Watching it snow when I made these chatter style baits with an Arky style head on 4/0 Trokar hooks.These are 1/4 and 3/8 oz.   Maybe something will hit them.

Now you're talking !

You're not supposed to use split rings between the blade and head though.  So say the chatterbait experts.

I pour my own heads and can't attach the blades to the hook until I'm finished. It's definitely better for them to be attached directly without a split ring. Even make them with football and ballheads.

I plan on throwing these in the Meramec once it warms up a little for hybrid stripers, love how hard they pull. I lost several of them last year when the hooks pulled out so I made these with 4/0 Trokar jig hooks using craft hair, saddle hackle and a little flash.

Nice looking jigs! How heavy? What's the overall length?

Got a buddy that opens the eye with a punch enough to slide the blade in.

I've got them with and without the split rings; seems to hunt a little more with the ring.

Omega's Rapture has a swivel.

These are 1/4 and 3/8 oz. and are 4-5" long. The craft hair really dances on these. I think it hunt's more with the split ring too, but believe it can be a weak link. Need small but strong rings.
