well why dont you make em? bass tackle molds has a great mold. Im thinking about getting it. if you dont make your own baits, nows a great time to start.Its alot of fun
DonG, I make a few 2 inch solid body stinger baits. I do not have a 2 and a half inch. I will have a fish stinger mold by the end of mext week that is suppose to be 2.4 inches long. It should be a great bait. Here is a picture or two of what it will look like.
Here is another stinger I make that is 2 inch that is a great bait.
Do those fit on a #4 jig hook, or do you have to use a #6?Quote:

Sorry I could not be of more help with that question
Seeker, that is a good looking bait....What colors do you have? Also, what is the body length of your grub stingers?Quote:

Mo are you think about getting that 40+ cavity stinger mold. That is a hot looking they it's identical to seekers. And I sure like the style of the we recently just bought that small stinger in the 66 cavity so it's debatable if I get that one or not.Quote:

I told him that was for the better because I really liked the end product. He did a great job on it and I am happy with it. I love the 48 cavities.Quote:

I like the Bass Tackle mold BassTackle.com - Your source for Premium tackle and molds. Its a 16 cav. if I cant fork out the cash then Ill get the 8 CAV The 48 would be awesome but I think would have to make monthly payments :DQuote:

snake, he said it took a long time to run that mold. Certain bait styles require harder cuts to be made. He said it took a long time to make that mold so that is one reason the cost is so high. He said the more he does of those type of molds, then the more efficient he will get. He said he hated to charge that much but said he is trying to find ways to be more efficient so he could go down on the prices. I hated to pay 350 for that mold, but I had one guy quote me as much as 4,000 for a mold like this and another guy quoted me 2,000. Needless to say i never contacted them again and cant remember now even who it was. Well he said 40 dollars per cavity, so if you do the math thats close to 2,000. I think the prices will come down a little bit in the future, but alot of it is dictated by how long it takes to do the program and how long it takes to cut the mold as well
I understand perfectly well and realized the cost factor and programming the computer's. it takes quite a while to set one up to cut that many cavities no I wouldn't mind paying that at all but we are debating right now wanted to get one or not we are, waiting on some other stuff to go through we are waiting for Jacob for one I'm sure that I would have plenty of interest in that mold. As you do it is a good looking plastic bait .have you tried to mess around with power paint with plastics we were thinking about dusting some of the cavities to see what it would do. Also we were thinking about putting some of the plastic colors on the cavities also so I have a lot of experimenting to do to find out how far I can go with this stuff. I haven't had time to do anything lately. But I hope to post some more pictures guys we do have some interesting color combinations that we would like to post. And of course with that many colors coming I can do a lot of experimenting.Quote:

Never know of its dangerous or not. I did see some glitter glue that I thought might make some cool baits. The hobby stores have that glitter glue with the point tip that you could make shapes or whatever on the plastics with. you might could leave it just as it is or dip back in clear plastic for an overcoat. This might make some cool stuff. I saw some other things there i thought would be neat to try but cant remember now. Also I was thinking about the Christmas garland stuff. It would be like string glitter if you cut it small and you can get whole strands o that stuff real cheap, it is suppose to be flame retardent so it might hold up to the plasic heat. Could be a cool thing if it worked.Quote:

you could use one of those mylar survival blankets
you know I will :D.....both color combos been working good, the bite on the pinks a little better right now, but both are doing great!!Quote:
