Super User bigbill Posted August 30, 2015 Super User Posted August 30, 2015 I'm thinking about making baby duck crankbaits. Does anyone use these? I need to figure out the orange yellow feet/legs? I'm thinking a Buzzbait prop in the front. Quote
Kentuckysteve Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 I have never used them but i bet they would work great. Mabey try a couple small orange/yellow colorado blades hanging from sides for legs?I can see where even spinnerbait skirts like they use for the frog legs would work if they would'nt get in the way of the hooks.I think you have a great idea.Post pictures if you get one finished.It would be interesting to see. -Steve Quote
Super User gulfcaptain Posted August 31, 2015 Super User Posted August 31, 2015 I have 2 of them made buy Pursuader Baits. When you retrieve them it gives them a slight side to side motion. Did a bit of customizing and clear coated some duck feathers on the bottom of one (other is a back up) to give it a more natural look. Quote
Super User bigbill Posted August 31, 2015 Author Super User Posted August 31, 2015 Look at you tube. Baby duck lures. Quote
Super User bigbill Posted September 4, 2015 Author Super User Posted September 4, 2015 Here r my ducks before. 2" long. I found orange grubs for legs Yellow feathers for the sides A buzz blade for the front. Spinnerbait wire to hold it all together. Quote
Big bass hunter Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 I made one out of a rubber ducky and beetle spin like that guy on YouTube that was before saw his I think the one I built is lot more stairght forward and simpler to build it takes me only ten mins to build one. I'm currently working on bluiding a monster duck I use frog hooks to hold the feet with a simple mod the only thing I wish I could figure out is to make it weed less so I'm up for ideas on that. But I caught a lot of bass in my inercity ponds helps a lot fishing in the city Quote
Big bass hunter Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 It's a really good idea if you have any questions on how I built mine I will be glad to help. But I grantee you you will be glad you have one or three of these in your tacklebox how I fish mine is I have a steady reel and do small rapid jerks like I Parkinson's and stop it now and then it imitates a baby duck putting it in high gear with a small little feet Quote
Super User soflabasser Posted September 21, 2015 Super User Posted September 21, 2015 I have personally seen large bass swallow baby ducks whole so I am certain that a baby duck crankbait/topwater will be a good lure to make. Quote

Super User Jeff H Posted September 26, 2015 Super User Posted September 26, 2015 Do baby duck crankbaits only work in spring? 1 Quote
Dogmatic Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Do baby duck crankbaits only work in spring? Good question, right after the hatch, or do they work like any topwater and draw bites year round? I noticed that there is a marked decline in bites when I'm throwing my Flip n the Bird, hollow body.

Big bass hunter Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 I've been catching bass on mine all summer aND still catching the mm on it but I let you know if I get way more fish in the spring Quote
Super User bigbill Posted September 27, 2015 Author Super User Posted September 27, 2015 I purchased the trap bass duck lure too but I need a setup with new braid to use it. I can't afford to lose any duck lures. Quote
