Now that George has got me hooked on this very addicting and frustrating fishing, Albies, I have been trying to get something that mimics the very small peanuts they are chasing. I have had all my luck so far with a 1/2 oz crippled Herring but as a tinkerer I want to make something for them. I have the thin needles I made but they seem to be eating something fatter not skinny so here is my first attempt. Crude as I made them that night after I went with George that morning. Made from SS.

Thought about it some more and now i have this one which i think looks a little more realistic. With these fishes eyes I think you have to have them look pretty much identical to what they are crashing. They all weigh about a 1/2 oz., perfect to cast from a boat but probably wouldn't be too good from shore but i fish from boat. Now i just need to get out there and try them. P.

those won't work

you'll have to take me with you to show you how to make them work

You are an amazing innovator, P. :btu:

send me a F $%^&*() couple to try :heybaby:

Wild stuff.:D:D:D:D

Paul those are amazing!!The albies or any other fish for that matter should crush those.Save one for me foe when we do the trade :bl:

:shocked:WOW I am in AWWWW.

GOOD LUCK GOOD PLUGGIN:D

Paul, those things are spot on. Thats great stuff man.

hats off to you thay are killer great work for sure:btu:

dude. tuna. single heavy hook in the back.
those things are SICK

Those are the nuts Paul ... they cast ,, they swim ,, you got something there ..

Yeah...the pea-nuts! Nice!:cheers:

Nice work Prof.

OMG, What have you done!!??

I love it :btu:!!! Are they hollow or is there something in there?

Awsome - gives new meaning to match the hatch. Beautiful work as usual.:shocked:

Great out side the box thinking!

Your are going to have to sell some of those.

Your are going to have to sell some of those.

I am going to be rich:happy::smash:. Thanks guys you are great for my ego. They are hollow , so to remain light, so they don't drop down out of the frenzy too fast. I will try to stick some rattles inside a few to see what happens. I have yet to try some larger ones. The larger they get the harder it is to persuade the stainless but I will try a few this off season. The worse part of making them is they get so hot so fast. Stainless is a great conductor of heat so I have burned my fingers several times. Funny as I tried something similar a few years back but gave up on it but since George got me addicted to this I revisited the idea. Still need to do some experimenting on making them but that is half the fun. My stainless thin needles and these all came from an idea i got from an earing my wife had that I was looking at. She thought i was gazing into hear eyes in an affectionate way :humpty:and I was thinking fishing lure.:huh: P.

:think:I was thinking of taking me fishing next spring when all those live pogies and big bass are around his area. I would help with expenses of course. See if he bites.:uhuh:

P/M you,d have a better chace making it out alive // if ya just took my boat & went >>>>> otherwise:rollem: if I take you or make a plug >>>.YOUR F #$%^&*()

He's pulling drag.........

Tuna.
Those are perfect..

Whatcha want for'um? I got a left arm that works great??

I was throwing holligans ect.ect. and everything else I had and they wouldn't touch nada, but alota guys swear by zoom fluke which looks nothing like what their feeding on,go figure. After my brother threw everything at 'um he finaly landed a couple on the zoom fluke. go figure

can't beleive you killed peanuts

Those are wicked pissah! Wow, how did you do that?

i can already foresee a problem... they look TOO MUCH like the peanuts. how the heck are fish single it out of the thousands of others? may i suggest while testing ya throw some interesting color schemes on a few. i'm sure those would work great around blitzes.. but if ya wanna toss it right in the middle, i could see it easily getting lost in the bunch. gotta remember why fish school in the first place.. so they can't get singled out. maybe changing out the eyes to red eyes would be just enough of a color flash difference.. i'll be happy to test one with red eyes...:drool:

P/M
