This afternoon I cranked up my casting lab to make a new type of worm. The idea came from Richard and Hal who wanted a relatively short worm with a big flapping tail to fish under the duckweed. A small tube was the head, a Zoom finesse worm was the body and a Zoom speed worm tail was the flapper. Poured a plaster of Paris mold, made a couple of prototypes and headed to the lake front for a test. No flapping motion, so back to the drawing board. Looked in the BPS online catalog at the worms with the flapping tails and theirs appeared larger than mine, so I carved on my mold to make the tail larger. Prototypes made and back to the lake. Perfect. When you just reel it in it makes your rod tip vibrate. I had enough plastic saved to make 8 and a piece. Field test begins tomorrow at the Catfish Chute.
