Fish Candy Bait Company

I have always used the 552 and 556 "green" without any problems. My customers and fish seem to love it so give the sample a try.

I use the Strawberry colorant from LureCraft. If you click here you can see one of my baits that uses that color for reference.

Check http://www.3dhubs.com/ and you may find a printer local to you.

Just curious what printer you all are getting? Mine is due to be delivered late March. My main use will be outside the fishing industry but I do plan to explore the lure capabilities area.

I use Avery 8164 for my bags. You get 150 labels for about $12. That label will not peal off without damaging the label. You can not remove them and reapply. Avery has a free program to use with their products that allows you to easily design and print them.

I just have one as I got it as a special request a few years back for a customer. I cools off fairly fast because it is not a bulky mold. Pretty much shoot, wait 30 seconds, demold and repeat. I have not shot it in a long time but I think you could get 6+ made before a reheat. It may be fine for just your use but if you were looking at selling them then I would get a few more.

I have one from Basstackle that I no longer use that I can save you some money on if you are not set on the Del's. Here is a Link to the mold.

Scaling it down to a smaller size might be the only roadblock. I may give it a shot early next year when I finally have everything in place. Pair it with an android app & cam and you could control it from the boat fairly easy. The question is, will it see rule changes like the A-Rig brought about? With modern sonar you could find schooling bass and set this bait out in free swim mode.

I will have to say a frog as well. Too many of similar designs out there so something different like bluetickhound mentioned.

Just a follow up as I heard back from Jim. For those that are interested they are mostly made from ABS.

Are the blanks that most of you painters use made of acrylic or is it another type? Ken

I agree with MonteSS. You have to use a lot more then you would normally. It is more like a liquid glitter then a color. I have never tried it as a straight color but I do mix it with green for a nice effect.

I strongly advise against drinking and pouring. As careful as you think you are without drinking you can still have an accident. In fact being new to it you are more likely to have an accident. Plastic at temperature leaves a nasty burn which many if not all of us has experienced once. Fill your pouring cup with water, sit down at your table, tip it over to see how far it spreads and how fast.

You may just have to spend some time doing searches on the Internet and contacting companies to see if they do custom orders. You could list them on your site with a disclaimer that you have no experience ordering from those companies. Maybe do a 5 star rating system and have people who visit your site rate them or contact you with a rating or other information. Ken
