The 4.5 frog is a beast. It draws a lot of strikes and has landed some huge fish.

It will twin inject yes, it will not with laminate plates or hand pours. The easy stretch will laminate but is a sinking plastic.

I really like both of his frogs

It will not laminate, it floats though

With the plate in place if your shooting both sides with a home made plate only one side has vents. The other side chokes out on air. You can use a razor knife to scarthe mold from the tails to the edge and both halves will inject properly.

try to use a little thinner, when you remove it the excess removes easier before hanging.

Definitely a bass tackle 627 is 3 inch 628 is 3.5 629 is 4 I believe

Got to actually visit with Bear recently, we talked for an hour and it seemed he was glad to have a little company. His heart and desire are still with the shop but his health just is not letting it take place at this time. Prayers to him and his family, he is a good man and I have appreciated his hospitality and friendship for a few years. He helped lead this tight niche of an industry and maintained the ability to be personable and caring to his customers. Glad I got to see him and hear some Bear stories again. Heck I may have to go back to say hello next month.

Awesome response. Man this hobby is just so crazy addictive. There are days when all the people around you say man what are you using and all you can say is I promise you that you dont have any. I usually give a few to them when I leave just so they can have some fun too. Three people have actually asked for my number before I left and now they are hooked too.

Cub 48 left out every type of glitter plus powders, highlights, paints, etc. Man I lost my shed over this. It was nice for the mower, tools, and other items. Now its strictly baits. Microwaves, colorants, trays, plastisols, glitters, vices, tables, bags, scent, injectors, and all others. Man I even purge from time to time only to accumulate more.

yes I have done it before

BH what type of bait are you using. I have been using it for over 7 months. It does live up to the billing but as any bait thin areas will tear.

Bounce is a floating plastic and is pretty tough but the specks can shred it if the bait has any thin areas near the tail. This plastic is great for everything else and is so far easy to work with. The easy stretch is yet to be placed on the site but is much tougher. In the winter when the specks are less aggressive it was easily catching 25 to 30 fish per bait. THis spring those numbers have reduced down to 10 to 20. It does still give you great action however. The original looking swim baits last longer than the new boot tail baits with extremely thin tails. The easy stretch is also a sinking plastic. It is 4 gallons for 100 plus shipping, slightly harder to work than bounce.

I can get 10 to 20 in the MF easy stretch medium firm with trout and reds in the cocodrie area.

The easy stretch (sinking) and bounce (floating) plastisols are tougher than soft more like a medium firm and medium respectively. They have great action and hold up well. Never tried 464 but have heard good things. Gonna be hard to beat the bounce plastic.
