Tied these with thoughts of river bass in my mind. They are fairly simple to tie. Painting the leather with glitter is fun. You can create a simple pattern that may remind you of a plastic worm from yesteryear.

Or, leave it alone and just fish it. It's likely that the fish won't care. ;)

Thanks JSC. Hope to find fish soon, when I get a chance to get out. Your "Fan Belt" Eel idea is a pretty neat one. Will look into that. :cool:

Make a tear drop on the head fold and glue some eyes on it . Bet that turkey would look b*******. Probably kill bass when you get out to fish them . Plus nobody can gripe about you using unnatural products .Pretty darn slick . Been watching . Surprising how far you have taken it .

Last one for a while, maybe... :) This bait has Tulip Glitter Puffy Paint applied to its leather. Its tail is tied with sage craft fur and "electric banana" Optic Fiber. Googly eyes are mounted on a 1/20-ounce dumbbell. The body is painted with Rosey's olive grey 85% gloss and the 5/0 hook weighs 1/8 of an ounce.
