School Master Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 First off I want to say thanks to everyone on this forum. I have been the guy laying in the grass, not posting anything for the last couple years, just soaking up tip tricks and hints from all you guys. I have now been doing it for a couple years and between first hand knowledge and information from sites like this one and Bears Baits and Caney Creek, I have learned a great deal about this hobby. I am going to make a much better effort on helping people that I can now. I realize the bait buisness is a very competative one. However, the more people I can help and the more friends I have, the better I think. With that being said, I wanted to show you guys my first new bait. I designed and cut this mold and have a couple more that I will be adding to my line this season. What do you guys and girls think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipt Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 that actually looks pretty good! im wondering if longer legs would give it a better craw like action. are these molds for sale or what? id love to see the action on it, post a fish tank video!

Bassinjunkie88 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 I like it...good job. I'm researching creating my own as well. I have some ideas on paper and working with a 3d modelist to get the ball rolling... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROWINGADUBAY Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 That would be an awesome goby rigged sideways on the jig and maybe pinch off a half of the tail Nice looking versitile bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
School Master Posted February 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Sorry IPT, molds won't be for sale. Im hoping that making my own unique stuff will help me distinguish myself from the crowd. I will see what I can do in terms of a video too a little later this week. Dubay, when I designed this bait, I wanted it to be able to do many things well. It's 3.25" but has some good bulk to it. The thing I will do most with it will be flip mats with a 1oz. weight. Second however, is just like you said. Dropshotting and dragging on St. Clair and Erie for full grown smallmouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
