barrysbaits Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 I got this kit at a yard sale. The soft plastic tails are removable and replacable. I was wondering if any of you guys have ever seen a mold like this. I really hope my attachments are viewable this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basskat Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 I haven't seen those in years. I'd make a mold> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrysbaits Posted September 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 It looks like I'll have to make a mold. They were made by berkley. When I do not know. There pretty neat baits . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo D Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 I have a few of those from berkeley somewhere. They were in a clearance bin and i fell for it...LOL I dont think a mold would be to difficult to make. You might get lucky and find a swimbait mold from one of the vendors that might work if you cut the bait to fit onto your lure. You might even get a different action out of it if you get a paddle tail version. I know Basstackle has some shad shaped molds that might work well for this project.

Bassinfool Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 This was my grandfather's "secret lure" haha! It's a pretty cool lure actually and for when they started making it in the early 90's it was a pretty big deal because no one had every seen anything like that before. I have toyed with the idea of trying to carve up one of my big swimbaits and fit the tail to the slot but I haven't actually done it yet. Very cool to see someone else who has this lure. I think I have 3 or so that I got from my grandfather shortly before he passed away in August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass4Me Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 There are also crankbait versions like this. I still have the one I found back in the late 80's / early 90's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 How do the tails attach? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassinfool Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 They just slide into a little notch at the back of the bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 They just slide into a little notch at the back of the bait. Are they glued in, or are there wires inside that anchor the tails, or thru pins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassinfool Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 There isn't anything really holding it in place other than the notch you slide the tail into. If you wanted to drop a small bit of super glue into it to give a little added security I'm sure you could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
