Tm Customs Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 Thats the new name of this little swimbait UGLY! What do you think is a fair price for these guys there just under 4'' and work great but they are "UGLY". Ha ive had lots of people that want to get there hands on them alredy. The problem is I dont know how much to charge for the seeing that swimbaits in stores are outrageous prices even the small ones. What do you guys think is a fair price for these that will not turn heads the other way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siebler_custom_baits Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 it isnt that ugly. well as far as price SRPLactics 5.5" swimbait is a awsome bait and scot sells it for i beleive 10.00 with a hook and all. get an idea from there. maybe 6.00 or so? if you decide to do a weighted version let me know i may have a head you might be interested in.

Tm Customs Posted June 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 I've been selling them for around a buck each, probably too cheap? There not to hard to pour though. C.J. do you like the colors on these guys? I'll send you a few to try out I'm sure they would be killer in the bay. Do you know of a way that I could get a lead head inside of the bait while its still hot so the heads inside like one of the storm swimbaits? PS check out the gallery I posted a pic of them in a great looking color. I will give you a few if you want to try them C.J.

siebler_custom_baits Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 yea man i will try them out. to pour it with the head inside on multiple color bait you could just pour the first layer in the bottom then put in the head in and have it held at the right place in the bait and pour the rest. with one color just set the head in and pour. i will send a PM for some colors that might work because if i try them in bad colors they wont produce and then it wont show how good or bad the bait is but i am sure i will nail the fish on them.

Tm Customs Posted June 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 I'll make you a few to try just get me some colors, I'm going to have to upgrade my molds to at least a 10 cavitie tons of people want them. Someone contacted me about him putting them into production for him. He fishes red fish sea trout tarpon he said he loved em. Do you think I should use a tube type jighead for the bait. PS when you start making spinnerbaits send me a night fishing one if you get a chance. Thanks, Tm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siebler_custom_baits Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 i will do that for sure. colors would probly be olive back and orange belly, rootbeer with a flo green vein, and any other colors like pearl or browns ans whatnot.

Tm Customs Posted June 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 I working on a new rvt mold for this same bait in 6'' as we speak. I will need some heads for these see what you can find big hook 2.5-3'' shank weight 1/2oz-3/4oz probably a 4/0-5/0 hook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tm Customs Posted June 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 C.J. check out these bad boys getting the hook in there is too easy. I can send you some but if you want hook in them your going to have to send me some, those are the last 3. The hooks that fit in them are slip in tube heads.

Tm Customs Posted June 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 CJ ill just wait till monday to ship them so I can give you a 6'' too, the mold should be completly dry by tomarrow. Tm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siebler_custom_baits Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 cool. i think a 3/0 hook will be OK for the 4" bait. that is how big the hooks are on the heads we use for 4" swimbats are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tm Customs Posted June 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2004 I think for the smaller a 2/0 would work and the 6'' may requrie upto a 5/0 Not sure It will have to be a wide hook though at least a 1/2oz to a 1oz CJ let me know if you have anything that will work.

siebler_custom_baits Posted June 20, 2004 Report Share Posted June 20, 2004 i have hooks and am gonna make some sample molds. can you throw in one bait iof each size made out of just trash plastic so i can have one to tear apart to experament with head designs? and why such a heavy head? maybe you should offer different sizes because i use 1/4 or 3/8 most of the time in the bay where i plan to fish these the most and then i fish heavy baits in the open ocean. just a thought.

Tm Customs Posted June 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2004 If you use a light head in the 6'' bait it wont swim right, I tested the little one today with a 1/8oz head and it was too light it swam side ways So I think the smallest in that one would be 1/4oz or 3/16oz Tm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siebler_custom_baits Posted June 20, 2004 Report Share Posted June 20, 2004 the head may not be perfectly centered in the bait totally. 1/4 in the 4" is great and i think 1/2 would be good for 6" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tm Customs Posted June 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2004 Thats what I said, the 1/8 is too light. Do you have a 1/2oz with a wide gap hook 4/0? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tm Customs Posted June 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 CJ, I sent you the baits today a few small ones and a 6'' made of junk plastic so you can fit it for a head, I would have made you another one but I dont think it will be any good without a head poured into it.

siebler_custom_baits Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 yea unless it had the slip tube so i could run my line to a big hook. I really only like weighted swimbaits for saltwater. freshwater baits i preffer to run near the surface like SRPlastics and those type. unless im fishing beds or something like that.
