girls_hunt_fish_too Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 I am curious if anyone knows where I might be able to locate some Ditto Gator Tail Worms for sale anywhere other than ebay. I have not been able to find any place that sells them other than ebay. I'm particularly looking for the 7" Electric Red and will, of course, purchase other colors as well. Any help that y'all can send my way would be greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpoonMinnow Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 Doc Irv's worm is not a Gator Tail or even close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

girls_hunt_fish_too Posted June 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 Thank you for your input SpoonMinnow. Walking Dead, so with Scorggins having the molds, I suppose I won't be purchasing any Gator Tails unless it's from Ebay and I cannot find the electric red on Ebay. I'm so sadly disappointed! Thank you guys for your help. Please do keep me informed if y'all happen to hear of anyway I might be able to purchase them. Thanks again guys!

William DeMent Posted June 16, 2019 Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 Do you want your own mold or just someone to make them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girls_hunt_fish_too Posted June 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 I would like to purchase some of the Ditto Gator Tail Worms. However, I see where Scroggins has the original molds therefore, I'm sure that's impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

girls_hunt_fish_too Posted June 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 The original Ditto Gator Tail Worms... you're kidding?!?!? Who made them and what color? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redfisher Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 Meant the molds. Did not mean the worm itself. Obviously they could be a custom or a mold cutter who no longer is around or cuts them. It was a simple question about the molds. The color in this case I will say probably aluminum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William DeMent Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 Yes they were custom made . They are aluminum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redfisher Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 Got ya, I believe the Doc Irv baits are an old Bear Baits Mold but I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

girls_hunt_fish_too Posted June 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2019 Redfisher, are you saying you have the original Ditto Gator Tail Worm molds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redfisher Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 No, but I probably could get my hands on one if I really wanted too. I'm not calling in that favor though, I have no need too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redheaded 1 Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 Hey Girls_Hunt_Fish_2k I am cleaning out my deceased father's garage.

Not sure of shipping costs. I'm located in central Illinois 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redheaded 1 Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 Ok, I made a second foray into my garage sale stash for this weekend looking for you some electric red worms. Nada, but I did find another 100 pack of electric blue, 2 15 pack electric blue and 2 15 packs of black blue. Are you interested in any of these? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a bunch of phone calls and misinformation I gave up eventually thinking they had gone to scrap. I could've done with out seeing this thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpoonMinnow Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 (edited) Injection molds of the two sizes are easy to make or have made. Original: . Lurecraft sells them in a silicone open pour mold such as this one that's in their catalog. Basic shape minus textured body and tail but the action should be close as long as the tail is as thick as the original.

Hey Readheaded 1, I know this post is pretty old, but wondering if you still have any of those Gator Tail worms? I'd take them off your hands if you do. Thanks.
