The best 2" paddle tail/slider type mold

**bugman** · 02-25-2015, 07:10 AM

Those lil fellers are bad a-- Tom they would be killer at times down here....I'll sure ask him i'm just lookin to cut down a step the whole pouring,trimming,re molding and shooting takes time i really aint got to give but am really wanting a paddle tail in my line up when and if the weather ever warms up.

Basstackle has the best paddle tail molds hands down. Their forte is swim baits! They have the thinnest tail that move at slower speeds than any other. Of course youll pay more for them. I have a 1.5" thats too small for what i do but i'll never get rid of that mold.

I have several basstackle molds and like everything about them....guess i missed the paddle tail molds i'll look again thanks for the heads up.

I tried to find a paddletail like the slider at Basstackle and found none. I found the shad bodies boot tail baits all over. There's maybe some confusion over what is referred to as a paddle tail.

I have one of Jacobs old 2" paddle tails where the bait is up side down...please help me understand why if I use a twin injector I wont get a true laminate? im trying to learn?

The molds shoot the baits as two sides, not a top and bottom [back/belly].

If the molds were cut so you can have a belly color and a back color from Rick they would be terrific I do have several of rich molds that I would truly love to have caught so you can shoot a belly color and back COLOR. maybe you can get Rick to cut a paddle tail for you so you can shoot twin injector properly so you will get a back and belly.

These are all shad bodies. Nice baits. But what I call a paddletail has a grub style body. Anything else is a bootleg shad.
