Arkansasman Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Been working on this from scratch with baitjunkies owner. He was able to take my ideas and put them into something awesome I think. I wanted a bait that had a thicker tail but doesn't flip around the hook. I wanted some meat to the bait so the lead barbs don't tear the plastic easily. This is what I started with. Next came the drawings from Leonard Then the prototype molds Back for some final tweeks and then the final product and molds Thanks to bait junkies for allowing me in from the ground up build of my style bait. The bait is 2.75 inches long Body is 3/8 diameter and little over 1 inch long 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkansasman Posted November 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 I Have never been in on something from ground up. I received nothing for this except the satisfaction of seeing my idea come to life. Happy holidays. I have a bunch more ideas I would like to see come around in the lead department as well as plastic bait area. Happy holidays to all.

Painter1 Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Congrats on following through with your idea. I could see that working well pitched around docks where I fish, (Table Rock) and also for schooling fish like Spots and Whites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkansasman Posted November 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Thanks fellas for the kind words. I wanted something outside of what is available now. Like I said my only satisfaction is having my idea come to life. Others will be able to purchase the mold as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
