Pourboy bait Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Hey there. I was here years ago, but tried and tried to figure out what name I posted as, but noooooo. Anyway I just re-registered using PourBoy bait. I had to think of something quick. If it's too close to any ones name already being used let me know. But, the main reason I signed up again was, I was just asked to pour a copy of a squid bait a friend bought on his way to a San Diego tuna trip. One flat side so should be a breeze to make a mold and get started. That got me thinking though and figured I would ask if any body is already doing a nice big (5'' +) squid with tentacles? Life like is always a plus but fish are dumb and I'll try anything! Show me what you have if you are salty. Thanks. PourBoy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pourboy bait Posted August 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Thanks Bob. I guess I'm going to have to work my way back in before any body will share. Understandable I guess. I'm not interested in making money, just want to help some bud's. I fix their reels, pour lead for them and pour simple plastics. I hope to eventually pick up some injection knowledge. I know TU is the place to be. (Along with 'Green Acres'). I have to hit C-list for a microwave to recycle, my wife tossed out my old one because it sat too long.

mark poulson Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 (edited) I don't remember ever reading about a squid bait here. Maybe a striper site's forum would have something. Dan Warme brought the Tora Tube, a salt water squid bait, into freshwater bass fishing. That's all I know about squid baits. Try doing a search for squid in the search tab.

jeff@mf Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 https://www.b2squid.com/soft-plastic-squid-bodies.php Is it B2squid or close? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRammit Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 Don't know anything bout saltwater, but I know what a squid looks like..... Would be an easy body to carve, and if you do a plaster mold could carve the tentacles in the plaster... Easier than trying to get em all laying flat..... 2 piece injection mold would be my choice, unless you're better at pouring than me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Young Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 (edited) How about a 7" gitzit? Oh, Mark already mentioned it.

Pourboy bait Posted August 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 Thanks everyone! The bait he gave me to copy has the big double curly tails with 2 straight 1-1/2" 'legs' in between. And a slightly bulbous upper body, with a couple of wings by the head. You know, like a squid, lol. Not a B2. JRam - definitely not up to par with my pouring without practice. I really enjoyed it in the past so will gear up pretty quick. Mark P - my niece lives in Oakley by the way. Thanks for the links, all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkman Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 Could be a custom pour for just that shop, I've plenty of squid looking lures like the one I posted and even a few local pours. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pourboy bait Posted September 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 Chuck - those giant 10" gits in the video swim amazing. I may follow up for myself, so thanks for the link. Erick - those aren't the ones he gave me but there are some potential salmon getters there! Mark - consider her warned, lol. Actually I should warn you, she only stops talking to breathe..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pourboy bait Posted September 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 I just reread my response to Jrammit. I meant his pours were going to be a lot better than mine, as I'm out of practice. The darn written word can change what you mean very easily if not used correctly.

Pourboy bait Posted September 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Well I didn't want to start another thread without something new to say, but I've discovered a couple of things..... I was here 10 years ago, I thought it was a few. Old age makes your time go by real fast. And there was a guy posting as Pourboy plastics 10 years ago, even had a website link. (dead link). So I'm just going to keep the moniker, and if he returns from the twilight like I did, we'll talk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The darn written word can change what you mean very easily if not used correctly. I knew what you meant... In the days of autocorrect and multiple abbreviations, one must learn to read past the text sometimes I'm not the steadiest hand in the west myself... But I get by, and I learned to take pictures from the "good angle" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
