saint308 Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 I am thinking about buying 5 of the 4 inch versions. I want a simple swimbait, not one with inserts. Anyone have any comments on these or anything else that is similar? Thanks. Saint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Prager Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 They swim fine but need to be rigged with a jighead. The baits is to thick in my opinion to be used with a weighted EWG. Maybe if it had a hookslot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loco Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 do you place the jig head inside with just the eye of the hook showing thru, or do you see the entire jig head ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Prager Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 The jig head would have to show because this mold pours from the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Bob's poured form the nose. Thanks. Saint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longhorn Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 I would recommend you design what you want and make your own one-piece molds out of POP or RTV. The open pouring gives you the option to pour laminates of two or three colors and you can include a hook slot if you want. If you design it to be a dipped bait the final product will have a finish very similar to the ones made from an $150 mold...and they have the advantage of having a concave top for the hook to hide in. JMO and not a slam on anyone's aluminum molds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Prager Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Sorry, when I said top I meant from the nose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if it had a hookslot? Which area seems to be too thick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Prager Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 The area where the hook goes in through the bottom and out through the top. It is a solid bait, not a tube swimmer and has no hookslot. The only way to hook a fish is to use a salt water style (like a cotee jig) jig head threaded through the body of the bait and exposed out through the top. I think he has a picture on his web site.
