My first attempts at the paddle tail tube swims...

They look tasty! The tails look like they were made with a two piece aluminum mold though .

Very nice tubes. I like the color.

It was like the 3 stooges Swamp... My machinist friend, my engineer friend and I all trying to figure something out on these. Surprising what Moe and Larry thought of. Getting the input of other anglers is really helpful!!

Took a good long time to get it right but these swim great and I can make what I want without painting, just pouring as the red you see is in the bait.

who needs paint man those are awesome, very nice color

I agree with Dwain. I did a search on Ebay the other day for "Basstrix" just to see what all the fuss is about. Lo and behold......I ran across Jim's tubes and I looked no further. Holy Cow.....those are amazing!

Thanks guys. I got your note Chris but eBay slammed that auction for having Basstrix in it so I couldn't respond back..

I'll just make the poured ones and see if I can keep up with those other guys. I just might have them on the baby bass!!!!

Awesome looking baits. Are they tubes?

That sucks that Ebay would do that......just for having the name "Basstrix" in the auction?? Geez......what next??

At any rate, best of luck Jim. You should tear it up with those!

Very nice baits Jim, I can see some thought went into the molds.

Very nice Jim, you have a gift.

Look great!

Do you pour that tube with a device similar to the one Del use to have available?
