They look nice, jigga, but with the droppers being so long, I think you are going to run into trouble with it tangling with your main line.  When I make droppers, I try to keep them at about 2 inches max with a heavy line to cut down on the tangles.

The mooshead lure should draw some attention your way though.

They look pretty darn good !   I especially like that Moosehead lure  ... where is the teaser for it though LOL

It's not gospel, jigga, but it is what has worked for me.  For my droppers, I take off the bottom ring (where the original hook was) and tie directly to the hole in the lure with 15 to 20 lb fluorocarbon line, then I use a rapala knot to tie the jig on so it has some independent movement.  this keeps the dropper somewhat rigid while it is fluttering down and the lift-drop.  I get very few tangles with this setup (less than hali's) and, in my opinion, even the 20 lb fluoro is less visible under water than the hali-style chain.

I shortend the droppers up lol , My first time experimenting with them so did not now exactly how to do it , but hey thats whats so great about this site. most the guys on here have done it  and know the advantages and problems things can have .

Like dropper chains they work well, many brands out there.
PS do you have the moosehead logo on your shanty?? Sponsorship?? FREE BEER???

I tend to disagree with you guys on this one. Alot of my droppers are 4" to 7" long and for the most part work good. I have never had a hali chain get tangled and I never take the hook off the main jig(why have something for them to hit with no hook) I usually make mine with kastmasters and till I run into problems I'll keep doing it. Jigga, before you take them apart try them and maybe switch those trebles to a nice little red octopus hook

That Hali jig looks like bad news for Perch this year!

Are you sure you made that Moosehead beer one , because there is a company out there called Bottle Cap Lures, that makes those. Dont want to see you get hit with a lawsuit for infringement. Hope they all the lures work for you .

The Moose cap kinda reminds me of the 1962 Chevy hubcap I used to use for largemouths. LOL

nice creations

i dont like droppers becasue they always seem to get tangled up for me i would much rather tie a small jig or fly above a heavier jig exp when fishing 20 fow or more

Love that Moosehead lure.  He's gonna be dangling upside down though!

[Water Wolf]

Good idea that you shortend up your droppers. I have made droppers with castmasts spoons and even a beer cap lure, I added a steel shot inside the beer cap for extra rattle.
They look good jigga, I think you will have good luck with them this year.
