New shad swimbait and a flipping bait from new molds

New shad swimbait and a flipping bait from new molds - 12/30/15 08:57 PM

Got a new injection mold today. Its a 4.5" shad tyep bait with a paddle tail. This the first bait I made with it out some leftover materail. I prefer to use open pour swimbait molds so I still need to learn this a tad batter to get what i want. Pretty happy with first one. It also has a failr deep hookslot in the belly to hold the hook and help make it more weedless. One pix it looks like tail has bubbles in it but it was some excess material I failed to wipe off my cooling pan that had made little slags. It pulled right off.

Got a little flipping bait mold as well and ran some material through it just to see how it pours as well. Pretty happy with both.

Had a chance to throw the shad a bit and it has some pretty cool action to it. Very impressed with it. Also like the way you can get a weighted hook tucked up in the belly to make it 100% weedless too. Pretty happy with the mold.

I can't wait to see these in person, I also want to see if you can get close to one of my crankbait patterns I'll give you a few cranks in that pattern if your interested it should be easy for someone as skilled as yourself thumb

Mark its a really hard patterns to describe. I mix all the colors on this one. It's a pearl ghost base, iridescent brown from the radius up the back and shading on the back with pearl blk. It doesn't have to be exact if you could get close I would love to have some. This has been my most productive pattern for the past 6 months and bet it would be killer on a swimbait.
