Bucket Mouth Customs Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 I'm fairly new to baitmaking and I'm not sure what the best and cheapest suppliers are. Where can I get good but cheap swim bait and glide bait blanks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD_mudbug Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 I have bought some from Cedar Run, wLure, Dinger, Predator, and Backwater Outfitting. The suppliers’ sites are listed in the pinned post at the top of the Hard Baits forum. I have also bought from random sellers on eBay for the ones I couldn’t find on the sites. Most of the suppliers have a couple of models of glide and/or swimbaits. No one seems to have a big variety in that category. The models they do have may be there one month and gone the next. Quality varies from batch to batch. Most are good. Make sure you clear any plastic flashing from the joints before painting. Some baits have small holes near the hook hangers and line tie that can leak. I seal those with superglue and a small brush. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
