Would it be OK to send you an order via PM, then have you tally up the damages ... then I'll send you a check ??

And PLEASE do get Ship's order done & mailed BEFORE you work on mine .... he's already out there and I've still got a month or so before I'll need mine.

no problem I'm going to send you a PM yes we know ship is chewing his fingernails off I've got about a pile of orders to get out you guys are definitely keep me busy this year we will be adding other mold to our stockpile it will be here in about the in the week also with the tweety bird may be the tweety bird will come today.

Pappy, I normally am a patient man. But right now I am giddy about those new baits I ordered from Snake River. He makes a tube I cannot duplicate, imitate or replicate with the limited skills he has taught me. Sure I can make a few things and I have done fairly well (Not getting seriously burned) in the year I have been doing soft plastic bait making. But bygollywowanddadblabbitall this old man don't have many more fishing years left. I am not a youngwhippersnapperlikeGandPappyareeither. I cannot wait to get my hands on that bait and introduce it to a fish's mouth. Got to have it. :-)

I can't wait to hear the crappies say "Mama! Here's Old Ship again and he's got a new bait. Mama....mama....mama...where are you? I just saw you a second ago! mama...mama...............then I heard the other crappies say..."She is going to Lake Crisco with Old Ship."

I'm looking for someone to make this bait :

Attachment 115443


Same colors, same size, same shape, same eyes !! This bait is 1.75" long ... translucent blue / chartreuse tail ... black pupil on prismatic iris * ... probably dipped in clear plastic to cover the eyes (Keith was known for doing that).
* ... (iris in picture looks white, but actually flashes a prism of colors)

This bait was formerly known as the "Nasty Shad" by Microspoons. The bait is no longer made by Microspoons, and the mold has been sold on eBay. So ... I doubt there's any patent, trademark, or copyright issues to consider ... seeing as how the bait is no longer in production.

I am personally looking to purchase a minimum of 100 of these baits, with the possibility of double that amount ... if the "clone" is sufficiently close to matching the original. I have little doubt that others would be interested in purchasing them, as well. They've been a very successful bait for me, but the 5 baits pictured are all I have left.

Anyone up to the challenge ??
