I pour it with the medium plastic and actually add softner about half of the time. They are a good little bait. Also he may be talking about Bob making a 5" bait I have two molds from Bob that he does not show on his website, but will sell if asked. I would ask him if he makes the 4" with a hook slot and it would be ideal.

Easiest way to modify the mold would be to use a dremmel to widden the hook cavaties. I have modified molds to pour flat eye hooks into molds that did not accept them before it is really easy. For the hookeye get 3/16" Silicon Carbide Grinding Stones And for the hook shank use Heavy Duty Cut-Off Wheel 15/16" Diameter If you decide to use the smaller hooks again you will probably have a little bit of over pour to trim off, but it's not hard to do.

It is a sweet little bait, swims good hard to explain exactly how but the closest thing I can think of would be a reaction inovations skinny dipper. Rigging I have found best on a regular jig head, but it can be rigged weedless on a weighted EXG hook. Only thing I would change is I would add a belly slot to make it easier to rig the bait weedless.

Those look really good. What hook are you using with the poison tail?

I am interested in the 5" swimbait mold, but can you email me pics of the bait and mold? Jurgo68@hotmail.com Also when you email me can you tell me where to get more inserts for the mold.

In my mind a lot of things can come into play when catching fish and certain lakes/rivers/streams have colors that always produce better than others. That being said I would rather be in the right spot with the wrong bait, than the wrong spot with the right bait. If you aren't putting your bait infront of the fish you won't catch them, but if you put a bait that may not be the exact match infront of enough fish you will get a dumb one from time to time. My jig box usually only has 4 colors to choose from: Black/Blue Dark Green Pumpkin White Brown/Chart. I will mix things up on trailers size/action as I think the trailer itself can be the most important part of a bait as it is what adds the action to a jig or can make a small jig have a big profile, change the rate of fall on the jig, etc... I know it is a little off the subject but a caouple years back I was fishing a tourny with a friend and we were throwing the exact same jig/trailer combination both using 20lb test. He had put three keepers in the boat, I hadn;t caught anything. As I was going through what we were doing different I realized he was using Yum craw scent and I was using bang pure craw. I asked him if I could use some of his Yum and on my first cast I put a fish in the boat. We ended up killing fish behind other boats that day, but the fish wouldn't touch a jig if it didn't have the yum scent. It was one of the strangest things that I have seen in person on the water as to how picky the fish were being.

I have wondered this same thing, but with Bob's 4" swimbait mold. I think that bait would be easier to rif weedless with a slot. Has anyone done anything with a 2 piece aluminum mold for adding a hook slot?

In Indiana I would have to say that Green Pumpkin and Black Blue would probably just about be a tie for the most popular and I would assume that this is true throughout the country. another color that does very well is white.

How do you inject a mold off of one of these pots?

I am curious as to how you use an injection mold. I have seen in the classifieds there are people selling injection molds and have talked with Del about maving a mold made and he said it would have to be an injection mold. Where can you buy something to inject these molds?

Looks about like what I am looking for. I am not a huge fan of spinnerbaits, but I do like to throw a small compact bait when I do chuck them. Thanks for the link.

Anyone know of a mold that is close to the hidden weight spinnerbait that you can buy from stamina? I like the look of a heavy compact spinnerbait and wouldn't mind getting my hands on a mold to make my own.

Where did you get that they were from Mexico, the website says that they are in Cali.

DOes Bob have a website? If not what is his contact info.

Does anyone know how much it costs to have a custom aluminum mold made? I have contacted a few places without a response on it so far. I am getting low on a worm taht was discontinued so I am interested in getting a mold to make my own.
