Some may be a bit longer than others but the crappie dont seem to mind much. I thought about having a mold made so I could pour faster but I have been doing it my way so long that if I use a mold it will be the shed mold. They are so close to my baits that it was a bit disturbing when I seen them because for years I thought I made a one of a kind lure and now I can spend about $150 and make the same bait almost but they will be the exact length every time and I could make a bigger selection of colors. Thanks for the repy snake. They are "killer"! I have plano boxes full of those in several colors and its really the only thing I ever use to fish with. All pan fish, bass, and even cats slam em.
I suggest that you keep right on making them the same way that you have for many years and I do commend you for ingenuity on making your own style of plastic baits do not feel bad my friend every major plastic maker that has come up with the design sooner or later will be copied I can't tell you how many times that some of my ideals have wound up in the industry but that just the thing in the way things go in the industry so us people that do the hard work of designing something that really works good will usually get copied sooner or later English you put a patent pending on them it will get stolen I for one cannot afford to put patent pending on everything that I come up with but I do get the enjoyment of designing plastic baits and also other fishing lures for many years I've been doing this I guess that I get my pride and glory from seeing something that I have done wound up with the big boys so I consider myself achieving something that means something to me I guess I should've started many years ago but of course we do not think about this in our younger years but I will say this that I come to this site which means an awful lot to me and we do enjoy helping everybody out so keep up the good work and continued to build your plastic baits the way you always have the best to you if you need any information at all please let me know we will gladly help you and if you are looking to have a mold build please let me know we will send you to the right people.
