Rebel2345 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Just thought I'd post some of the work I was able to put out after the help I've gotten from some of you guys. This is a great site and I will be sure to mention it to anyone looking to get started in crafting their own tackle of whatever kind. My first injections are the two in the background of the pictures with all Craw styles. They didn't turn out great, but I'm working on fixing the bubbles I'm getting. If they look familiar, its because they are Power Team Lures 4.5" Rig Jig. It just looked like the easiest bait I had to reproduce with a two peice POP mold. (No plans to sell, just to be clear. They were mostly a test.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHK Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 looks good. just to clear up a common myth, whether or not you sell a patented bait has no bearing on whether the patent holder can legally make you stop. just the simple fact that you copy the bait is grounds for lawsuit. im not saying you are violating a patent, as i have no clue if there is a patent on the bait, i just thought you should know. the craws in the second pic, watch because strike king has a very similar ridge patented for their rage craws.

Rebel2345 Posted February 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 I know its similar, but these act nothing like the Rage Craws. These spread out and just vibrate a bit, instead of flap like crazy. So they have much less action, which is what I wanted. Rage Craws never work that well for me.
