Talent From Tennessee......The 2014 Diary of the Rascals and Others from Carl Hendrix......

No picture does his baits justice.......he has created them in all of my favorite colors and in several sizes as well......Throw in a Phyllis Diller or a Sunrise Spider and I think we're going to make some noise on the Albemarle this season.....

YUP GOT SOME FROM CARL this week and just itchin to try em myself , specially on the crappies here.. Great looking baits to be sure ......

[Jeffrey D. Abney]

I fished a yellow with green legs today and caught a few small bass,,,,,,,some nice Crappie....a few gills and a small bowfin.......tipped with live minnows......

A Solid Bass.......

And a nice Crappie...

And of course my little friend that will bite you like a dog....

They look so fishy hard to see why they wouldn't work. Carls got it down pat.

[Leo Nguyen]

Looks like you got plenty of masterful tiers that will make your days ends a bit too soon there Jeffrey.

[carl hendrix]

thanks guys!!  its a honor to be just mentioned that these are in the running to be tested!!

[David, aka, "McScruff"]

They will rock. Remind me of the Medusa fly.

[Jeffrey D. Abney]

They are certainly the result of years of experience......the filament movement will over power most species......I truly see these as a major multi species bait......one that will leave you guessing every strike and with our fertile brackish waters that's real exciting........

[DAVID L EITUTIS]

Carls stuff looks killer to me Jeffrey , and different than most everything else on here . Can't wait to see this years totals with these baits!!!!!!!

[Jeffrey D. Abney]

Similar to the Pink Mantis Jigs......I worked closely with Carl and Leo to design the ultimate bait for my local brackish waters.......So with the cold winter these baits haven't truly had a fair shake yet but will do a fine job and Carl has made them in a great line of colors including pink....

These are going to be real gill killers on the Albemarle......

So many great color combinations.....

Big coppers are going to really crush these baits.......

Some Slab Crappie that took the beige...cricket colored Rascal last Saturday.....

The potential is amazing and I really look forward to fishing these during the dragonfly migration when millions of dragons inhabit the marsh and fish species of every kind go nuts on them.......

[Jeffrey D. Abney]

Thanks again Carl and I just want to capture the results here this season......be a tribute to all the hard work and generosity.....
