[mold used: tablespoon]

I hear you. I've got a wall full of trophies fishing my own stuff. Most people don't understand that in well fished lakes the fish start to learn what hurts them.

I like the way you think. Outside the box has always been good for me as well.

 

[Stick poured with feathers in place]

worked pretty good. Feathers have nice action when you pulse the retrieve.

Thanks for the kind comments.

[Holo Foil Jerkbait]

There you go Ben. Looks good.

Very Nice ! Are they salt impregnated ?

Yes they are. I flour my salt. There is about 25% salt by volumn.

Thanks Curt. Been at this over 20 years.

Nice baits Mark; I like the colors. Did you use the foil I sent you one these?

[8.25 INCH WEEDLESS BAITS]

Man I thought you got lost. Very nice pours.

[First pours]

It's too late now; you're hooked. lol

 

Nice pours

[3 color handpour]

Thanks guys. Those are done with my 3 chamber pyrex cup.

[NEW BP BAITS]

I thought so. I much prefer handpours. I like to be able to apply the "art" of pour baits. I used to do 3 color pours for a 6" shad I designed with the third color inside the first color. Check the gallery.

[NEW BP BAITS]

Really nice pouring. I assume this is an open mold.

[4.25 Inch creature bait in the works]

I like it BP. Body looks like a handgranade.

[Legless lizard fluke in da works.]

I hear you(troubles). Just keep your nose in the wind and eveything will work out.

 

I love this hobby; one can just let your mind go in all directions and no idea is silly. Even if you bugger something up you can learn from that.

 

I really like messing with colors especially ones that change from one color to another.

 

Last year I only got 2 fishing trips in all year due to a double hernia. Got that fixed last fall and I can't wait for this season.

[Legless lizard fluke in da works.]

I like the look.

I did a "legless" lizard some years ago. Looks differant than yours.(tail was taller and thinner;body was flater and wider). Caught a lot of fish on it. The best result was pouring it with a heavy salt/softner mix.

 

Yours should work well too.

[Foiled Baits]

There is no paint on any of these baits.

[Buzz 2 Black]

Please do not use the name of MY bait as the name of your bait. That's just not nice.

[Grasshopper Color]

This one is actually poured with a heavy salt formula like the stick baits.

[3 Chamber Pouring Cup]

The metal is simply zinc flashing you buy in pieces at a building supply.

The metal works for me because I can open the center spout wider or close it down narrower to adjust the flow of the center color. You are right about the cleanup though. It can be a pain at times.

[Latest Creation! Needs a good name! Open to suggestions.]

We have a pourer with an imagination. I like it. Great ideas with the bait.

[Tiger's Blood Final Color]

Actually Frank, I was thinking the same thing. I'll get a pic up in a day or two.

[Tiger's Blood Final Color]

Thanks guys. It's done with my 3 chamber cup.

[Grasshopper Color]

That's a drop shot bait right? or are they big enough for a shakey head? You made that made from start to finish right? i remember seeing several like it is all kinds of awesome colors.

6" long and my design. It's a fairly big bait; good 1/2" wide at the widest point. Going to post a pic of the gizzmo I came up with to pour like this in a few days.

Couple of years ago I did much the same thing with sculpy clay. I think it was 3 1/2" or 4" long. Poured it like a senko and it fished quite well.
