Made more "mojarra ghost" colors:



The top four are white and blue and the bottom five are white and chartreuse.

I used the white and chartreuse today at the beach and caught a 16ish" snook and a small jack. I'm going to fish the Indian River Lagoon tomorrow so I may make more junebug color grubs for the dark water.

Only two viable from this batch but I got a nice swimbait out of it. I think the issue is that I'm not heating up the injector properly. I have about an inch of hardened plastisol in my injector at the end of every injection.

I went out wade fishing with a friend of mine this morning. Caught a snook on my mojarra ghost grub using my 704z.



I lost two others and had one chase the lure right up to me.

I use jig with Mister twister curly tail , paddle tail or slug-go style tail never use grub as you have . Early day fishing with plastic worm I save broke up worm mix all color together and pour to a mold made with chop stick press in clay and still catch bass , they eat these for reel as if you don't set hook quick you will hook them in the gut

Are you using the curly tails for sea trout and redfish? I've tried them for snook but haven't had luck with them. My go to has always been paddle tails but I want to branch out. I'll probably get a paddletail mold next, though.

I use curly tail for crappie ,small mouth and walleye , lately I caught few good size sea trout with slug-go tail and surprise they took quite big bait . Paddle tail always been popular for sea trout and red . Never caught any snook . they sell mold for plastic bait too expensive also need few more tool to inject to mold so I never try
