Thread: New plastic BAIT Texas wiggler.

I'm shooting the tail color in full baits, but where we differ Bob is that I cut a slice off the rear of the body. This allows for a super good weld when the tails get the next color. Sunfish love to smack the tails rip them off regardless of how good the weld is when just that thin ribbon is being welded.

I just slowly open the mold keeping baits on one side of the mold. Hold down on the tail and pull the body off. What I call slow probably isn't slow to others. I was doing a lot of baits in a round. I was doing a minimum of 200 cavities in a round which is 20 molds of the flapjack. Anytime a tail would stick to the wrong side just slowed the process. Best thing I found was to wipe the top side every other shoot with a good cotton rag.

I believe you're right no matter what you do to that tail the fish are going to eat it. I believe that we are doing the same thing as far as 2 colors go.

you don't have to slowly open the molds the way I do it too bad we didn't live closer I would definitely show you what I'm talking about but I think you know pretty well what I'm talking about I didn't know you had that many of that flip Jack molds we might pick up three more of the what I call the Texas wiggler. three more of the 2.5 and we are thinking about going to the bigger ones I would like to see this one in a 6 inch use it drop shopping for bass.

You were not playing....?.you were quite serious. You and Bob are good. Both of you will be responsible for sending crappie to the dentist to get metal removed from their mouth after they eat your products guys.
Y'all got skills!

Bob, I believe your Texas wiggler will outperform your icecicle line. Back in Ohio I used the fish with a ribbon tail like that on Lake Erie by the Sandusky power plant and it would knock the snot out of the Walleye.
