COBRA Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 not hijacking rogervichs thread at all, but just got me wondering what others are doing as far as large baits. that twin tail was pretty sweet! heres a pic of the biggest striper bait i make, it was my first lobster bait probally about 6 years ago, then the smallest is a flipping craw i started making in the 90's and the middle was a prototype which i have half molds of that i make my lobster jigs out of.

Artificial All The Way Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Very nice. That is a big plastic lure. Guess you just pour one a day and let it cool for the night. Catch good size Stripers on that Lobster or will any size fish pick it up? I've found a lot of lobsters in Stripers over 25lbs over the years but not in just keeper size. Thinking using that lure might keep some rats away long enough for a cow to jump on it. Smallest lure I pour is a 9" sluggo. Made several in that style of my own and Fin-S types up to 14". The thickest is a Yum style that is 13". It takes a third of a cup to make and takes a while to cool. how much plastic to fill that big boy?

COBRA Posted March 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 i have to fill my largest pyrex which i think is 4 cups, it takes a couple hours to cool, the mold is silicone and holds the heat, once it sits for a while i can flip it onto an aluminum sheet. def. cant make 100 in a day!

Romeo D Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 That's nice! You could probably sell it for the same price as the real thing too! 30 bucks/pound? Nice color work too, I am impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rixon529 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Holy Smokes, Cobra! Paper money is just a tad over 6 inches long, so that would make your ginormous crustacean, what, about 16 to 18 inches? I would love to lay into the cow that could scarf that down! Great job on the detail and color. By the way - how did the show go last weekend? Rick H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
