I bought a mold for them. just made a lifetime supply for myself. One of my favorite rigs for perch. Two hooks 12" apart, 12" above the sinker with 1-1/2" grubs on them. The skinny profile slides through the weeds better.


Dimensions and weight?

I have the multi-weight mold.  They call for the line-grip swivel but a regular crane swivel works too.

I use the Do-It mold. The FDS-8-A mold has 8 cavities - 1/32, 1/16, 1/8, 3/16, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 5/8 oz. I don't do the smaller two sizes.

Put the little worm harnesses to work this morning.



Kept(landed ) one walleye...lost a couple more. Kept a couple of the perch too. Bit...I'm getting the hang of it.

I'll be back at it very early tomorrow morning.

If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

Can't believe the quality perch I've been getting. I missed several today .....learning curve I guess. Don't set the hook with an octopus hook. Just lift.

Planning on being out well before daylight tomorrow. Gonna get hot quick.

My biggest problem is...I'm running out of worms. We need some good rain.

The fish could use a drink of rain too. The Catskill streams Willow and Beaverkill)  and Oatka are getting low. Nice perch Bob!

I find I lose a bunch with the clip when using light line for panfish.  They're meant to cut the line and break off if they get snagged, doesn't take much with 4 lb. or less.  I pour them both ways but generally use the clips for heavier rigs, deeper water.
Wet your line and do a little overhand knot below the weight to grab to a little better. I use them with 4 pound without too many issues that way. They just make adjusting leader lengths so easy in comparison to tied weights.

On the water at 4:45 this morning. Fished till 9:45.  Cloudy all the time so it stayed pretty comfortable. Brought home 6 nice perch and one crappie. Caught several largemouth, a bunch of bluegills and a decent pike.

Sure hope we get some decent rain this afternoon and evening. I need to fill the worm box. Might head over to the creek and pull some crayfish just in case.

Got out on a local hole today.  A couple dozen nice gills, a handful of large and smallmouths, and a few crappies. Roadrunners, jigs, and flies under a bobber.

Not much for rain last night. Have an appointment to get the car inspected this morning. Then it's off to the creek with the flyrod.....and a bag for some crayfish.

I hate paying for worms.

Took the 3 wt to the creek with a vest full of flies. Only needed one....as usual.



Don't know what they thought it was but everything swimming in the creek ate it except the carp. Bluegills , Rockies and smallmouth.

 Such a perfect day to fly fish. Wind at my back, cool temps, warm water.....I suspect I'm doing the same tomorrow.

Ain't life grand?
