Thanks Jim for the reply. The center of the bait looks like a very lite transparent yellow. How is the action of this lure? Frank

Jim thats a beauty!!! I like the color alot. What green is that that you poured on that bait? and also is the center color a hi lite or did you pour this in three different colors? Again great looking bait. Frank

Frank great looking bait. I am really digging the colors. Frank

Thanks guys for the cool comments on my baits. Most people would think I bumped my head again coming up with these crazy designs. But still trying to think out of the box to give the fish something different to look at. Talk to you soon. Frank

Frank: If you leave a bait in the mold til very cool, like overnight, do you still get the dimple? You might either have to cut a vent or let the bait get completely cool to resolve that issue. I am guessing the large volume of plastic cooling is causing the problem. I have the same issue with one of my larger frog molds. If I leave it to cool completely, I get a complete frog. Jim Jim I have tried to leave the bait in the mold to cool a bit longer but with no success. The dimple still shows up. I will take you advice and cut in a few vent holes in the new mold to see if it helps out. I still have much to learn making these things. But enjoy this hobby a great deal. Thanks again Jim for your help. Frank

Jim what s great looking bait. Nice work there. Jim I got a question for ya. I have been messing around with a full body mouse bait and have been having problems pouring it without it getting a dimple on bait. Can you share any tips. I was going to try to cut a few vents in my two piece silicone mold to see if I can correct the dimple issue. But if you can share a few tip I would appreciate it. Frank (Big Pancho)

Champion the hook is placed in the silicone mold and than I pour in the layers of platisol. I am working on a different lead insert in order to get this guy to tract a little straighter. Pretty soon this guy will hit the water. Thanks for the nice comments on my baits. Frank

Thanks Simon on the nice comment on my bait. Frank

Husky I make all of my own molds. This lure is the biggest one I have made to date. It is a very bulky lure but I think it will get the job done. The next step is to swim test this beast. I am going to be working on an internal lead hook set up as well. Stay tuned in for there completion. Frank

Frank it is all plastic no paint is used. I pour the belly first and right away pour in the second color. If you wait to long there will be cold cracks. So give it a try. Thanks for the nice comment on my baits. I got a few more coming out real soon so stayed tuned in. Frank

Hello Jim there is alot of material in these baits and at a medium slow retrieve the bait will start to get moving. At a slow speed the tail does move but the action increases when you get the crank going. The hook is weighted within the bait . The baits have a very good 6/0 jig hook in them and the weight of the bait is 2.75 to 3.0 ounces. I gave a couple of these bait away to a couple of cool kids at a local tackle store here in California and both kid connected on some nice fish on them. Here is the report the kid wrote. http://www.swim-bait.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=807[/img]

Here is the short video on the swimming action of this lure. Enjoy Frank

Andy I rig these with a standard lead head. Check this out here is a report on there first outing. Frank http://www.bloodydecks.com/forums/bass-club/194863-guess-whos-back-back-again.html
