The Dude Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) These are all made from originals sculpted by me from clay and made into POP molds. The Grub is 3.5", The Worm is 6.5", The craw is 4.25". The grub may not look like it, but that tail never stops moving. The color is Pumpkin/Gold Flake/Blk Flake--the pictures don't do it justice.

longhorn Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Hey Dude, I admire someone who designs their own baits. Those will get bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Dude; those look good. I too design my own baits and it's a blast, isn't it? I like the first one. That tail should have a nice waggle. Keep going. You'll find sometimes that you will come up with a design and then after you make molds of it you may find out that the bait doesn't do anything. Don't get bummed out; just use it as a learning curve. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassnRandy Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 That first one should be an excellent drop shot bait. Ecspecially in goby waters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zbass Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Try posting them in the gallery. i'm curious to see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted January 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 I will try to post them to the gallery tonight---I have a new camera and software so I'll have to mess around with sizing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDBaits Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 For easy picture resizing check out this link IrfanView - Official Homepage - one of the most popular viewers worldwide to resize all you have to do is pick Image>>resize/resample then pick the dimensions you want the pic to be then save. I usually stick with 640x480 size which works good for web pages ande such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bear21211 Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Good Job Dude. Get them in the water and when you catch your first fish on them you will feel a sense of accomplishment second to none. They look great and I like the color. The Craw looks like it would make a mean flipping baits down here in South Louisiana! Good Job and keep up the good work.Let us know how they work.

outdooradvantage Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Very nice, ever think of splitting the tail? Looks like a killer Smallie bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted January 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Very nice, ever think of splitting the tail? Looks like a killer Smallie bait. I actually have that as part of a creature bait I'm working on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacInnis Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Hey guys. I have been reading this forum for a while now and finally joined. I think it is great the way all you guys help each other and share knowledge. I just had a quick question.... Where are the Presto pots being ordered from. Not the finished product with the stirring blades, just the pot itself, I am new to pouring and would like to make a good pouring pot in the near future. Thanks very much.

bear21211 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 You can buy the presto Pot at your Local Wal-mart Around 25.00 I will be more than glad to help you get yours built. Let me know if I can help you . Bear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike-A-Pike Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Dude - Those have a different look to them. How do they fish??? I put a link to your lures in one of your earlier posts... that kind of link in the future is fine. Thanks again for re-posting your photos.

Unfortunately, I live in Syracuse NY and the water is VERY hard up here:cry:. But, I have seen the action of them in my fish tank and they look really good, if I do say so myself. I let you know what the fish think in about 4 months! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
