buzfly Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 I am looking for larger minnow type bodies(not including the lip) that are over 5 1/2" long. These were be for Saltwater Use. I have looking in all the usual sites and sometimes I can find a few. I have been trying to contact the China bases companies but am having a hard time getting samples. I have gone through Alibaba, Dhage, wslure and all the other sources listed in the first thread on the board. Any help would be great. Once I fined what I am looking for I will be getting them 100 to 200 at a time. I am looking for SP Minnow, Bomber A or others that are along those lines. Preferable ones with a continuous wire and not the small hook hangers. Thanks for your help. Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Young Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 I sent a reply to your last post. Here is a repeat: The only supplier I know who does blanks that size is Nitro lures. The lures are mostly discontinued models from W Lure, a Chinese supplier. The last three digits of the Nitro part # and the W Lure # are the same. Prices are very reasonable, but practically no info is given about the lure. If you know someone who has used those suppliers in the past, you can get the info you need from them. You have to buy 250 at a time; there may be a possibility of sharing an order with someone. I have had good success with 2 large blanks: 103 eye up to 9mm body length 7" OAL 8" with glue on stainless lip weight 1-1/4 oz depth 5-7 ft Notes: apparently through wired, bone color, no scale detail 052 eye 7mm length 7" weight 1-1/2 depth 2-4 feet Notes: through wired, clear body, shallow scale and full gill detail p.s. On the green mackerel I have applied addition scale detail. Attached Thumbnails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Young Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Salty's is a good source for wood bodies of that length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
