ThomasNozal Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Does anyone have the Nightcrawler 4..25 inch mold from Lurecraft? It looks almost exact to a Biffle Bug from Gene Larew. I really like the mold but I don't want to chance it for $140 and end up hating the thing. If you have it, please let me know your thoughts about it and how it compares to a Biffle Bug. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrat69 Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 mold has no rod insert; finished bait will be solid unlike the real biffle bug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveMc1 Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 How in the world do they manage to make that bait hollow? With a brass insert that fits in the mold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasNozal Posted March 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Thanks for the reply and with it being solid it would prolly be more durable compared to actual biffle bugs im guessing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuskyGary Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 The mold is made by Angling A.I. and carried by Lurecraft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 With a brass insert that fits in the mold. Do they reheat the bait to seal it afterwards, or does the hollow keep enough air trapped even if it's open on one end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it is left open so you can add scent, rattles etc. Edited March 23, 2015 by DaveMc1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FATFLATTIE Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 I really looked at that bait from AI, just decided to go with something else. That was my main problem with the biffle bug is not being solid caused it to realy tear easily rendering the bait useless. Other than that I loved the action and versatility.

The bait from Angling AI is solid, does not have the hollow spot in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
