Cbread76 Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Not perfect, but it's awesome. After making my master out of craft Popsicle sticks and clay, making a mold out of POP, I have finally made my bait. Thanks to this website to which I came across less than a week ago I have achieved success. Thanks to those on tis site for help, especially Mantase and the videos from his website. I was trying to use silicon caulk and mess to make my mold, but it was a terrible episode of Breaking Bad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cbread76 Posted February 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 It swam great earlier today. I can't wait to pour it with better plastic and get it in the river! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cbread76 Posted February 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Thanks for the support! I bass fish here in GA. I fish out of my kayak on the creeks and rivers. So, I catch largemouth, spots and line sides. Also, we have smallies and shoalies in other areas. I really can't wai to take this to Guntersville, the hatch are enormous out there.

Cbread76 Posted March 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Put a little weight forward belly weight in that swim bait, and wake it thru the tulies. YOU WILL GET YOUR ARM BROKE BY A TOAD. If you position the weight just right it will nose down into a bed when you see one and let it drop. Be ready to set the hook FAST & HARD. If you have crappie in your local waters try making some with a tiny dash of pearl powder, a big dash of shad flake, and pinch of 1/8" (yes that big) black flake for bed fishing. If you have big shad you can just leave out the black for later summer waking in the mornings. I like the look. How does it swim? I used a 11/O hook and slid a 3/8 oz bass caster sinker on the hook. Then I poured the plastic in the mold. It swims great and dives at the nose. When I start pouring with new plastic I'll make a YouTube and post it. I couldn't upload the vid from my phone. Thanks for the color idea. Yeah we have shad and crappie. I can't wait to take it to Lake Guntersville. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Brits Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Great job and congratulations on your first mold!! Really hope you catch on it, nothing is better than catching on your own bait. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
