    Default New bait


    Been working on this from scratch with baitjunkies owner. He was able to take my ideas and put them into something awesome I think.

    I wanted a bait that had a thicker tail but doesn't flip around the hook. I wanted some meat to the bait so the lead barbs don't tear the plastic easily. This is what I started with.

    Thanks to bait junkies for allowing me in from the ground up build of my style bait.

    The bait is 2.75 inches long
    Body is 3/8 diameter and little over 1 inch long


    Now trying to think of a name for this bait.

    I like the ribs in the tail. Bet it will catch some crappie.

    Great Idea thinking out of the box.Great design.The secret to a good plastic bait is the formula of the plastic not to soft not to hard.Arkie,Midsouth,SouthernPro to name a few has the right mix in their plastic(trial and error).Good job bowhunter.

    Bait name Lil-Bit.
