Tony Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 Hi I just made this mold yesterday and poured these today . This is the 5 th mold I made . It is geting dialed in . You fish this like a jerk bait . The tail swims like a snake is a "S" pattern . You barly have to move the bait to get the tail to move. Cought a pike on it the first time out . I made the mold out of silicone in the tube . I learned that on this site . When you hold the bait up to light the ribs jump right out . It weightis about 1 1/4 oz. so it can be fish on most bait caster rods Thanks Tony check out my other baits at www.tantrumlures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish_N_Fool Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 Here is a repete of a post I made the other day on my bait; I went out yesterday to try out my SUPER sized soft jerkbait I make and hopefullt catch some Pike. The Jerk bait I was using was a large version (10") of my Sink-N-Fool in a baby bass color. Here is a differant colored one. http://img13.photobucket.com/albums/v37/Fish-N-Fool/Rigged_ten.jpg http://img13.photobucket.com/albums/v37/Fish-N-Fool/TenJerk-N-Fool.jpg I went to a new lake that has L.M.Bass, Pike, and some Muskies too I hear. Anyway, On my second cast of the day I got a hit!!! I thought wow the Pike fishing is going to be great today. As it turned out my Pike turned into a 6 lb. L.M. bass but I wasn't complaining. That's a nice fish in anybody's book. I fished for about an hour with no hits . Then just like the first fish I got , i had a hit as I let the bait do it's free fall glide. It glides forward and down at a rate of about 2 ft. per second It looks like it's swimming as it falls, anyway I had another monster L.M. pick it up. Now I'm starting to rethink my Idea that this 10" bait is a pike bait. It is working great on L.M. in the 5lb. plus range. I fished for about 2 more hours and I did get a hit from what I think was a Pike. It didn't hit the bait at all like the first 2 hits I had. This time it about ripped the pole outa my hands. Then it swam right at me so I didn't get a good hook set. By the time I caught up to the fish it had droped the bait. I think I'm going to fish my big jerkbaits alot more from now on for monster Bass. I don't like catchin little fish anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
