patrick reif Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 (edited) I'm trying to decide between the BT 662, and 631 swimbait mold for a finesse swim jig. I'm leaning towards the 662, but would appreciate any input. Does anyone here have any of those molds, and how does it compare to the DOA C.A.L. 3" shad tail? I've tried to get in touch with Kevin a couple times, but haven't had a response yet. http://www.basstackle.com/631_Blunt_Nose_Ring_Swimbait_5_Cavity_p/631b-kj-5.htm http://www.basstackle.com/662_Swimbait_p/662-kj-5.htm Is there another carver who you know of that carves this bait? I'd like a link if possible. Many thanks Edited April 9, 2013 by patrick reif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Linehan Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 I have the 662 and it swims really nice! It is almost an exact replica of the Keitech Easy Shad. On a swim jig, that tail thumps for its tiny size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omartinjordan Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 I would highly reccomend the 5in swim ripper mold. I have justed started with plastics and have no experience with injecting but as far as the bait it's great. Looks just like a skinny dipper. I usethe big 5in on swim jigs and it is unbelievable. Plus when the fish tear it up you can rip off the head and use it as a 3in bait. Just my personal opinion though. Even if you don't get that one you should try the bigger baits on the swim jig. Plus, you could fish it as a regular swimbait also. Kill 2 birds with one stone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 I have the 631 but with the regular nose. The real key to both of the baits is the tail. It swims great at any speed. If you buy the regular nose ringed bait you could just pinch the nose off and you have the 631. Really don't believe there is another bait that swims better than this bait. At a show this weekend a pro was throwing the 631 on a 1/4 oz head in a tank full of bass and could not even show how to use the bait without getting bit. The crowd went wild as he just could not show them how well it works. But them again I guess he did. Either one is a great addition to your arsenal.

MonteSS Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Price on the 631 is kinda high. ...Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apdriver Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 That's what I thought. Is it that good? Probably a lot of milling for the rings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Yes it is a lot of milling but it is in the tails. Thin and deep. To me the key to the bait. Get one and you will see. Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankFrank, this thread started as a swim jig trailer. How else have you fished this bait?....Bill..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 A-rig and just ball heads. Have them from 1.5 to 7.5 inches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 My customers also use them as spinner bait trailers and buzz bait trailers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank My anniversary is tomorrow and can't decide between the 631 and the 639. BassTackle has these in a five cavity now with each cavity having it's own injection port for shooting laminates. The 631 is 3.5 inches and the 639 is five inches. Any ideas on the most versatile size? Can't afford both so must choose one or the other. Opinions?

Frank Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 I sell more 3.5s than any other. That would be my first choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
