mike h Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 Working on a new panfish bait. Made from some scrap wood of a cypress tree I recovered a while back. im thinking about a spotted sunfish pattern. Trying to do something different. Any suggestions? porkmeatballs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike h Posted May 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 Yeah, those are pretty much all over the country I guess. My grandpa used to keep those alive in a cement livewell . Baited limblines with them for Flatheads on the Pearl River. He said those were the best bait. Went out of his way to get em.

mike h Posted June 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 Casted 3 baits so far. Rigged one up with all hardware, lip, hooks and ballast. Swam awesome. Floats high and moves very twitchy. I like it. Got some silver leaf on this one. Almost ready to paint. azsouth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
