  1. What is Flashaboo, it sounds like a race horse.
  2. I am looking for a wholesalier for hooks and weights and stuff like this. Are baits have been selling well in a local store, and now the guy who stocks the fishing supplies has disappeared and they want to know if we want to stock there shelves. Any help with wholesale, or any one who has had any experience in this line of work.
  3. As far getting the hook in them, I saw this on the boob tube; I will try to explain in type. Take the point of the hook and go in about a quarter of an inch thru the nose, and poke it thru the plastic towards the belly. Pull the hook out and run the eye of the hook from the under the belly thru the hole you made. This way you don
  4. I found i get more bubbles in the plastic if i start the stirrer at the begiinng, i thought 45 min was pretty good for 80oz of plasatic. But it is a pain waitting for it to heat up

  7. Folks thanks for the feedback, I think I have to re read the tread a couple more times, my head is still spinning. I will talk to a paten lawyer hopefully the first hour is free and I will find out how much and what it takes. Once I find that out I will report back on the info so we all will now what is involved for a paten, it can
  8. So you come with a new design for a new bait. What would be the best way to get the most out of it without leaving to much money on the table? Is it getting a paten and make it yourself, or try selling the paten to a big company? Or just make a ton of them and try to sell them myself? Or go thru another company and have them mass produce them and hope the quality its loss in the transaction. I now that if it’s a good design eventually there will be nock offs which isn’t the biggest problem, but if some of these other company’s can do a mass production then there will be a lot of sales that I would miss out on. I’m not tiring to be the Trump of the bait world, but we all like money. Any feedback or links to other threads would be appreciated. Thanks

    Molds

    Is it safe to put your alum. molds in the dish washer? They have been sitting around for a while. I now they with stand 350 degrees, but I was wondering if anyone has put them in the dish washer.
  13. or just over pour the mold ( not much) so it sucks the plastic down.
  14. Last year I walked into a tackle shop hoping to get a small display next to the register. While talking to the owner he let me know what he made off other baits, so I offered our worms for less, buy time I left he ordered 4000 worms, and in sizes that I did not even have. So I had 2 caught up to the order and that , but they sold out and he gave me the display again this year & I raised the price to make up for last year price. I know a lot of people might bock at this idea but it works for me, on our website I offered free demo bags, and I mean free no shipping- nothing. But I got about 75% of those people to then order bags, all I asked for was feedback and 1 guy sent us a five page letter on how he caught his biggest fish and he told all of his friends. Now I have a group of guys in NJ that order our baits. Also fish and game post all of the torments in the state for the year, get a shirt with your logo and fish your ass off, or least land the biggest fish. But the best is word of mouth I was at a bar last year & the 2 guys next to me where talking fishing so I worked my way into the conversation and finally I asked what they used. The guy said to me you probably never of heard of them and it
  15. So is Tupperware okay, I was going to store them in Tupperware then shake them with scent and bag em up in the spring, and if so where should I store the Tupperware. Thanks
  16. I just put a bunch ( 200 or 300) worms into a large plastic bag put in some scent and salt, no oil, shakem up & put em into indv. bags. Pleanty of lub so the worms dont stick togther
  17. I found worm oil in the bags will discolor the worm and leave color on the inside of the bags, leaving the product looking
  18. Custom Jig trailers {3/4} an... Posted By mendoza147 In Soft baits Filesize 104.8 KB Dimensions 360 x 342 Views 384 Comments 0 Rating Date March 18th, 2007 Here is a guy making some trailers that i thought looked pretty good. just my opion im not saying to copy these but this might give you a direction to go towards
  19. Not sure if this is what u are asking but i screwed 2 pieces of strapping to the work bench then screwed the pesto pot to the straping only the front is screwed. then when i get low on plastic i put a small piece of cardboard behind the back pieces of the pot to help pour the rest of the plastic. just a hint drill small holes thru the legs or you split the plastic legs, also if you use a pencil to outline the legs on the strapping it helps line them up after u clean the pot. hope this helps
  20. how many for 5'' stick baits?
  21. So should i lose the scent and the oil? is there something else i should put in for the salt to stick.
  22. 1. yes 2. No 3. sounds weird i get my plastic to 350 then i never turn the knob intill i am done. 4. go to the kitch aid store and get a candy stirer its soft plastic that goes up to 600 degress. this is on presto pot
  23. Yeah I basically add a little worm oil and scent into a big bag, then shake the salt (yeah I know the salt on the out side is for show but it seems that where I am- salt on the out side is important to the customers) Should I lose the worm oil and stick with scent then shake the salt. Thanks folks
