cintaskevin 13 Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 Does anyone know if any of the mold makers make a similar bait to the Magic Shad? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Frank 613 Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 Bobtackleshack. Only has one size but it close to that look. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AZ Fisher 173 Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 Lurecraft has an open pour mold that is similar. # 891, 3-3/4 inches, BTW the first segment of this bait(main body) is really too short to get a decent size hook in. You wind up hooking into the second swimming segment. You could nose hook it on a dropshot but for a swimbait or a trailer it has not worked for me. I was disappointed with this mold.

Jurgo68 13 Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 I have the bts bait mold that is similar for sale currently in the classifieds section. It makes a pretty good chatterbaits trailer. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Travis 614 Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) With a little work can be molded successfully also. Have to do some venting in some places but wasn't too difficult and that was hand pouring. During the Javallon craze couldn't seam to get them quick enough in the states. I think they were pushing 30 to 50 bucks (color dependent) to get the pack of three from Japan and waited something like a month.... Need to vent at the tail tips and at the last segment for sure. The others filled with out issue on my molds. I also always use a forstner bit to create a "reservoir" for plastic to be drawn in.
