Coosa Redeye Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 I got the new Bear's Baits Hollow Swimbait mold over the weekend. This mold is AWESOME. It makes a TRUE hollow belly swimbait, no hook slot. The following pics are pre-dipped baits I made in a hurry to show off the mold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thelatrobe33 Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 I was looking at those last night. To get the top one that looks like a core shot are you just dipping the insert in red prior to inserting and injecting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bear21211 Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 4.5" You can dip or paint the insert then shoot the bait then dip if you chose. Very versatile. They look great!! What size are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

96dak Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Paint it with what product Bear? any of t he soft plastic paints Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB GONE Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Just a note on painting the insert with soft plastics paint... Eventually your insert will get pretty stained and may transfer color when you do not paint it. The paint will eventually come off uneven as well. Just a tip from someone who went that route for a short time and had to buy a new insert.... Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GB GONE Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 (edited) Just dip the insert, put it in the mold and inject your bait... Nothing to it!!! Jim Edited April 2, 2010 by ghostbaits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuskyGary Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Just dip the insert, put it in the mold and inject your bait... Nothing to it!!! Jim Are you covering the eyes with anything to help hold them on? Maybe dipping the head in clear plastic? Those are beautiful baits!

bobothewizard Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 I understand that this is a old post but I have a few questions. That picture of those swimbaits, is any of that paint painted on after the bait has come out of the mold? If so, did you re-dip the lure after painting it?

Ed Brabant Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 I'd love to see a vid of how these guys swim! They swim great. I used them with the standard weighted head and the Gamagatsu one with the small willow leaf blade. Awsome baits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
