Walking Dead Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Try BTBomb mold at basstackle.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
army-boot Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 basstackle doesnt have the bt bomb anymore, may have been one of bobs designs? I love the bt bomb though, wish I had a 4 cavity of the smaller one instead of the 2, hopefully we'll see it offered again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will not find the super thin ribs like the DBomb, it would cost way too much. Edited June 19, 2014 by DaveMc1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

army-boot Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 http://www.basstackle.com/product_p/514-1-1.htm BT bomb on BT web I was referring to the 3.75 and 4.2 versions, that one is pretty big for down here :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcbv Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 Those bumps are not like the deep ribs. Makes a world of difference when machining, as we are finding out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nedyarb Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 This is as close as I've seen. Love this lure http://store.do-itmolds.com/Birch-Bug-425_p_92.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walking Dead Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 That birch bug is expensive for one cavity. 85 + shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveMc1 Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 That birch bug is expensive for one cavity. 85 + shipping. Have a mold company, like Zorn Molds, quote a creature with rings just like the DBomb, $85/cavity will be real attractive after LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walking Dead Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 I figured it would be costly to do, time and all. Somewhere though there is a break even point. I stick with the bumps or ridges. I know the bomb at BT does not have rings, but looks pretty close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcbv Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 In theory the deep ribs are supposed to hold air and release it on retrieve, I've never fished a deep rib soft bait so I don't know in practice how well it works. All ribs,surface bumps and ridges are meant to cause turbulence/noise on retrieve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nedyarb Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 I use my bathtub to test my crankbaits. But one day I was messing around with a sweet beaver and was amazed at how the forward facing ribs trapped little air bubbles. I'm guessing it looks like it's breathing to a fish.
