Bluff-Bassin Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Maybe you guys have seen something like this before, but a guy posted this on a facebook swap shop earlier called "Bass Baits Buy and Barter" Seems like a super good idea. If he is the first to sell something like this, I have a feeling he may have wanted to keep it to himself until he could make it his own. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=914491778566521&set=pcb.1526618690890948&type=1&theater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgecrusher Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Tom Draper was the first guy I recall doing that, but not on a stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gone2long Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Try making a 1000 of them and let me know how you make out It may be unique and is prolly great for the home pourer but the price point would be astronomical, think about it I see a half dozen baits with eyes and 2 color injection in 1 of those sticks what would you have to charge per bait? But I do agree it's pretty cool looking that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishon-son Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 I seen that to cool but the cost to make ..ouch..and im sure some don't turn out and those go to the scrap can.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 I think the hardest thing would be recreating the same bait, but yes.......those are beauties! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelhains Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 He's not the first to do it...I've tried it myself but mine didn't workout as well as those. Those are real beauties. I am part of that Facebook group and I saw those there as well. He auctioned them off and they sold for $18 if I remember correctly. But I don't remember the quantity sold...8-10 sticks maybe?

Baitjunkys Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Ok. So who was the first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelhains Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 I don't know. I've attempted it myself. Though mine didn't look nearly as nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baitjunkys Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Ok. You said he wasnt the first I figured you knew who was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelhains Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) No...I've seen it before which is why I tried it. But these pic posted here are the nicest ones ive ever seen. With as many garage/basement bait makers out there it is so hard to come up with something truly original.

Travis Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) I has been done for sure, don't know who was the first. I used a sluggo mold (durhams) and strung several smaller super fluke baits in series initially on dental floss and then the ends were threaded through small holes drilled in the mold and taped to keep taught. The poured the clear to encapsulate. While still warm the floss was pulled. The in series look was hmmm stupid looking so then started to glue them offset to one another and use the same stringing process. Better but not until I went with two piece molds using similar concept were the results better. I also used colored beads, feathers, dead minnows, photocopied fish images on copy paper, fish skeleton printed on lens paper, and countless other things while playing in the shop. Probably about 7 to 8 years ago. I know others were doing it prior and threading crappie baits on the the floss.

gone2long Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Ha that's funny I did the same thing with the colored mirror beads, worked well but how much bling do you really need. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask Jason Quinn! I understand he loses 2 mph when he wears all his bling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
