The same thing happens at the cosmetics counter in Alaskan stores, only we are looking for the right shade of nail polish to paint our trout beads with!!!!

Let's hope so

Actually...been there...done that!

....I'm going to get one tomorrow....or two, Brilliant!

I ended up with a ball about 8 inches round. Cut enough tails to fill a bait puck and only cleared aout a 4 inch circle on it

the fun part is centering the hook....but once you do i think its on for life.

the new thing'ie
(Image removed from quote.)
cool material as each little tail streches almost 3 inches. and it floats so the tail stays horizontal.....
cant believe i didn't let him get the red, purple and yellow ones......maybe if he's good!

red, blue, purple, green, yellow and pink and a swirl.

This is probably where Swedish Pimple ( Jimmy ) got the idea from for the Slurple he was killing the eyes on last winter/spring

had kinda the same problem with wife and daughter giving me funny looks when i took them shopping and was looking for white and the brightest orange nail polish i could find. white as a base coat before the orange on end of a Bic lighter spring to thread my line thru before someone else came out with spring bobbers.

The funny thing is if you ask the counter girl they will know what the hot colour is.

I still have three bottles of Maybelen Snowflake Frost. 8)

I'm going to soak some in the berkley alive juice and see how it holds up. T-boned on a dot should work for suspended crappie. Nice job with the idea. My daughter has a collection of these that will be missing a few pieces.

What a brilliant Idea....A real $$$$ saver

perchhogslayer · « **Reply #40 on:** Nov 25, 2008, 02:24 PM »

ice fishermen are funny, They have no problem dropping $350 on a new Vex, and $400 on a new auger, and $500 on a flip over shanty, $250 on a new water camera, however when it comes to jigs and lures, ask a guy to spend $5 on a lure and he'll come up with 101 ways to make the same lure for $0.50, or find a cheap knock off thats 1/2 price- he'll buy 10 times more then he could ever use in a lifetime, just for the satisfaction of saving a couple bucks on lures. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that what catches fish, not the fancy electronics, ice shanties, and power augers? Just thought it was a bit Ironic, my $.02

I think it has something to do with a little self satisfaction that I did it Myself.

I've seen it all now... Outstanding idea!

A- bomb · « **Reply #43 on:** Nov 25, 2008, 04:26 PM »

my 10 yr old just superglued two together and called it the "ice senko"
WOW!!
whacky rigged on a #14 1x fine fly hook.....

mcully · « **Reply #44 on:** Nov 26, 2008, 06:02 AM »

Speaking of.. the maker of senko, Yamamoto Baits, came out with crappie soft plastics this year.

fish_finder · « **Reply #45 on:** Nov 26, 2008, 08:50 AM »

Now thats a darn good idea!

stumper · « **Reply #46 on:** Nov 27, 2008, 08:40 PM »

check out this bad boy!!!

purduebass · « **Reply #47 on:** Nov 27, 2008, 08:50 PM »

Great idea! I have a few lying around the house. Looks like something else to try out this year.

lotwfisher · « **Reply #48 on:** Nov 28, 2008, 09:07 PM »

My g/f is shopping this weekend with her mom and calls me from wal-mart and asked me what color of those thingies I wanted!!! At 2 bucks a piece, get all the colors!!! hahaha

gulp · « **Reply #49 on:** Nov 29, 2008, 07:40 AM »

Yep just gos to show nothing is safe if there is no ice to be out on. Someone should just come out and say it. We are all hooked on hardwater and we cant even play games with the kids without thinking of it. smelly jelly and a bit of ball. killer on the perch.

yonderfishin · « **Reply #50 on:** Nov 29, 2008, 12:27 PM »

I read a post on ohiogamefishing.com last year where somebody discovered using the tentacles from the squishy balls. The person said they normally take a razor blade to regular rubber worms and shave off thin wiggly strips to use wich they had success with but then they noticed the squishy ball thingies ( but Im not sure thats exactly what they called them )... I am not sure how long that topic played out on that site but I have been looking at them and considering them ever since.

lotwfisher · « **Reply #51 on:** Dec 03, 2008, 06:18 PM »

I tested them out today... Worked better than anything else I put down. Perch liked them and the 2 small crappies we got were caught on them too. I put them into a small gulp container and then added some scent to them. I liked how I can cut them to any size and they are the most stubborn plastic I have used for taking off the hook. Thanks for the great idea and money saver.

SeaDog1 · « **Reply #52 on:** Dec 03, 2008, 06:44 PM »

Happened to be in my local Walgreen Pharmacy and they had a big box full of these ball Thingies about 8-9 in. in diameter and in a lot of different colors. Not expensive at all.
Got 2 and now have more wigglys than I can use in a couple of years.
Good idea to marinate them in your favorite fish scent.
Ordered 2 bottles of that C-9 anise scent from Little Atom. Stuff really works for me. Also like Smelly Jelly.

P.S. Got one that's HOT BUBBLE GUM PINK!!

A- bomb · « **Reply #53 on:** Dec 03, 2008, 07:17 PM »

nice to hear it worked as i wont be testing for a few more weeks....no ice!

man that bums me out that someone already stumbled onto it....here i was all proud of myself

oh well.

glad the SQUISHY HAS SCORED!!

lotwfisher · « **Reply #54 on:** Dec 04, 2008, 09:41 AM »

A-Bomb, I give you full credit as if it wasnt for you I would never have seen the idea or tried this myself. Thanks for the great tip and awesome new lure!!!!

esox13 · « **Reply #55 on:** Dec 04, 2008, 02:09 PM »

Great idea - I wish you would have had it sooner. My wife just threw out a blue one a red one and a green one because my boys were pulling it apart.

lostfisher1 · « **Reply #56 on:** Dec 04, 2008, 05:12 PM »

When I first saw those that was the first thing that came to mind to me.

Slop · « **Reply #57 on:** Dec 04, 2008, 05:44 PM »

Those jigs look awesome A bomb! Just wondering if the tail section undulates in the water when jigged?

A- bomb · « **Reply #58 on:** Dec 04, 2008, 09:10 PM »

i wouldnt say undulates but if you keep it long its got a tight giggle...
got some soaking in alive juice....seems to hold scent well

fish_finder · « **Reply #59 on:** Jan 11, 2009, 08:09 AM »

A-bomb thanx for the great idea...i tried them out yesterday in green and they worked GREAT...even beter than i expected. We tried everything for perch and could only get the odd one, so i tried one of these and bang soon as it went done had a nice 11" perch...ended up catchin a whack of perch and atleast half a dozen chian pickerel on them, and they werent even scented just tipped with a small minnow head, gonna soak em in some gulp over the week and give m a shot again thursday
