saint308 Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Anyone know of a saltwater bait mold? I am looking to make something that resembles a H&H cocahoe minnow, V&M Deadly Dudley terror tail or Norton sand eels. Thanks. Saint.

Collier Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Saint308, Did you ever find anyone that carries these molds or those similar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint308 Posted March 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 No, I did not. I have been doing freshwater sticks. I will probably make my own mold when I start on saltwater baits. Let me know if you find something. Saint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dutchman Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 M-F has some saltwater molds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VARick Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 I use the copies of the Bass Assasin flukes in saltwater with pretty good success (speckled trout right now in dark red/black back/gold glitter). I've also used just regular paddle tail worms in chart/silver and gold glitter in the early summer months. What type of saltwater species are you targeting?

saint308 Posted March 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 I fish for reds and specs. What kind of plastic are you using for specs? Is it saltwatr plastic or regular? How well do the lures stand up to the teeth of specs? I am considering purchasing a fluke mold for both fresh and saltwater. Thanks. Saint.

Collier Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 I fish for specs, reds, and flounder. Lurecraft has the cocahoe minnows, but I didnt see anything close to the Norton sand eels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VARick Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 I also fish for specs and reds.. specs have been very active here in Tampa lately .. mostly the dark red/black .. also just found green/red and black flake is working well too. I've been trying to get a mold of a shrimp .. tired copying a DOA but think that would have to be a 2 piece to get it work like the DOA. Just got some old bayside shrimp and those look like a good choice to make a 1 piece mold. I've actually had better luck with the old bayside shrimp than the DOA. I'd like a bigger version of that too.. but unfortunately my attempts at making a master of any type of bait has not been successful at all. I've read the tutorial by Crawchuck and think I'll give it a try for a shrimp copy using a frozen select and see how that turns out. What colors have been working for you over in Texas? Also what LC mold # is the cocahoe minnow? Thanks, Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrawChuck Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 Cool! Need any help let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collier Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 The LC# 5X468 Looks like a cocahoe but it is 5 1/4" I think the originals are a little shorter than that. Maybe 4" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collier Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 I like anything that is w/ chart. tail. Plum, pumpkinseed, pearl, white, glow. Depends on water color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Splash Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Hey guys, I make good quality plaster molds, both one and two parts for all kinds of baits. Right now I'm kinda done building molds for the season, as I do saltwater charters out of northern B.C., Canada, all summer, but if you need something made you can contact me and get on the list for next fall when I start again. See my website for more details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
