Painter1 Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 I have this mold but don't know who makes it. It says SSB 500 stamped inside near the hinge. It makes a 5 inch bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pieterbez Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Looking at the hinge makes me think it was made by Bear's Baits LLC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Painter1 Posted August 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 I certainly can't find it on Bears site. I was planning on selling it or looking for a trade because I have enough baits already made from this mold. It's always nice to be able to identify the mold so folks know what they are looking at. I can't find it among the usual suspects and don't remember where I got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toadfrog Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Might be interested in a trade since that has the round nose instead of those God forsaken pointy things everybody is making . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painter1 Posted August 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 This bait swims real well on a weighted hook. I made some heavier ones and had good luck on bluff ends this winter when the shad were flopping and dying. I would throw it near timber and let it glide. Bass would just take it and swim off. The hook slot makes it easier to drive the hook through but I did miss some good fish that came unbuttoned. Hit me up on a PM on what you want to trade.

BigLewers Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Bear took some molds off his website. If you ask him about it he can tell you where it came from and probably order more and put them back on his site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
