gone2long Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 (edited) Thinking outside the box I bought a string of glass beads and inserted them into a stick mold, not quite filled enough but in theory it works. What do you guys think of the idea? Chris Edited June 20, 2009 by mrbilky Don't see photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delw Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 I dont know if it would work like a regular bead bait, but its pretty cool. we've made some with 1/2- 3/8- 1/4 balls the whole length and the action is pretty cool Delw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gone2long Posted June 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Well I guess that will show me, I didn't even know there was such a thing as a bead bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delw Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 (edited) naw that didn't show you LOL wanna try something cool, grab a bunch of marbles put them in a pop mold ( easier to work with) put about 4 at the head then a long section about 6inch. when it dries cut enough room in between the marbles so the plastic will pour through. kinda looks like this OOOOOO=========> or OOO========OOO======= or OO======OO========OO======> Awsum Action, I had one guy that did a bait 10" long with 1/2" holes( beads) the thing swam like a snake, it was pretty cool. use that bead idea you had and apply it to swimbaits, long worms, and some other baits you will really like the way it swims. Bead baits (not really beads) are pretty popular on the west coast for dropshotting, they use tyically 1/8-3/16 balls to make there molds. there are alot of one sided molds out there like this, I thought Lurecraft or MF had one. its been years since I seen a store bought mold, I have seen quite a few made out of pop and RTV, then of course alum.
