Bay Port Bob Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 Hi everyone and thank you for taking the time to read my post. With the ice fishing season just getting started in my area (Saginaw Bay Mi). I thought I would try to make some soft plastic baits for ice fishing. I picked up a couple of maggot molds a few months ago to make baits for the Blue Gill we get in the canals in the fall. I thought I would try my luck at making a core shot maggot. This is what I came up with. The mold wasn’t made to do this and I didn’t do any modifications to the mold at all. They make core shot molds for worms, Ned worms, and paddle tails but I didn’t find what I was looking for in a maggot. These were the first ones I tried. I still have a little more work to do to get it down right. I made them with some leftover plastic that I had. So far I like them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basseducer Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 Those look good. What size rod did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bay Port Bob Posted January 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 Thanks for asking. I make my own home made ice fishing rods out of aluminum and graphite arrows. I’ve made a lot of them over the last 25 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass-Boys Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 I think he wants to know what size -- ROD -- you used in the mold for the core shot ?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bay Port Bob Posted January 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 Sorry my mistake. I used a .062 wire in a Jacobs wax worm mold large size. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
