Here is a few 2 inch tubes I did today then dipped, put on eyes and re-dipped. Never been much of a tube guy but I may have to give theses a go. I had the mold around awhile but havent used it much, those that have one no why.lol

Those are awesome.
They look awesome. I catch more fish on tube jigs than just about any other bait. I had a tube mold once and sold it. If I had a good one I would make use of it. I do not know of a good one out there.
Looking good. I'd order a few of those.
Good looking baits. Is that a solid head.
I'm not a tube guy either. But those ain't your average tubes either! Nice work.
you do nice work
Those are SWEET!!
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! love the black and char
I'm jealous Keith fantastic job on the tubes we do have a different tube mold Keith that I have not really promote it on here I think you would really like it but the ones that you posted are fantastic.
Nice!!! Those baits are in a league of there own.
Thanks everyone, these are hollow tubes but I could do them either way.
is that a mold where you have to cut the tails or are they pre cut? I had one where I had to cut the tails. It was too much work so I got rid of it. I thought about buying one from del, but he never sent me a sample of the bait to decide if I wanted to buy it or not. Do you own any of his molds?
it has cut tails but its not Dels. I wouldnt buy a mold from him if they were 5 bucks. He tells you what you want to hear. I waited 9 months for a mold and was told EVERY 2 weeks that it was on the machine. I know guys still waiting on molds they paid for during his last Thanksgiving sale. I had a couple of his molds but got rid of them cause I didnt think I could get anymore if I needed them. If I cant buy more later I wont get them, if I get a really big order and need more molds I cant wait months for one, days and weeks I can do but months?
I have not bought from him because I have only heard negative things and he always gives me the run around. I will not say anything bad about him or his molds, because I do not own any. I will just say from what I have heard I do not like the experiences and will not be buying from him. I am sure he is a good guy and means well, but I will look elsewhere when buying. With that said, do you know who sells a good tube jig mold? One that is 1.75 or two inches.
Have any in solid black with eyes?
you know who I depend on most the time I've had no problems with Rick if you're wanting a good to mold I suggested US Rick to build you one you might have to twist his leg a little bit but he is the only one that I know of that can make which you want and you do not have to wait months that's why Jacob baits is always done good for me we exclusively use Rick for all my custom work I'm sure the other mold makers are quite good at what they do but I do not care for any of their molds that's why we always use Rick.Quote:

If so if you have any samples from it can you send me one and a sample of the chicken foot and the slab slayer. I need a good 1.75 or 2 inch tube mold.
I have three different sizes 11/2"in 2 inch and 3 inch I also have another one it looks similar to a octopus but I have not purchased it very much it is a awesome looking bait I don't think I sent you any of them but I'm going to have to make some of them up I truly love them that was a very very special deal with Rick Berger had to break his arm and his two legs and give him a black eye to make it RoflQuote:

Keith I am not much of a tube man either but those are the best looking tubes I have ever seen. You make some awesome baits. Keep up the good work

Fantastic looking tubes Keith! Thumbs Up
Keith are those a mold it skirt or are they dipped and cut I know from some your old post that you were giving rods in making tube skirts just curious on what method that you use we do have precut skirt molds also I have a custom built like a octopus I will have to post some of those to show you what I mean.
snake, he said earlier in one post that they were from a mold and the tails were cut in the mold. I would like to buy a mold like that but he did not say where he got it. I know those pictures he posted looked like some awesome baits. I tried the dipping rods and I hate that method.
OK So when you going to put them on your web site? Would love to see some white with chartruse tails.
thank you maybe I should read the post more clearly sorry about that we just sent a e-mail to Rick to see if he would be interested in making more skirt molds I believe if I do have any more made that they will be like the octopus one that I have this was a custom built design for me there's only one like it in existence it is a super cool looking skirt hope to post some shortly. The good thing about this is I am able to shoot the skirt one color in the body of a other which makes this a fantastic mold also we can do the same thing is Keith very easily I don't know how it would look but we may give it a shot remember this is a on usual skirt mold. I commend Keith on a fine job that he is doing whatever he's got to make them it is fantastic if I were going to buy any more skirts I would deftly contact Keith they are awesome looking and I believe that they would be ideal for my area I do use a lot of skirts besides other plastic baits that I have an even test it myself but skirts of been a backbone for me for many years my favorite colors bright orange and chartreuse also dark green and chartreuse also gold and chartreuse have been hot color combinations for me I would like to see some Perl done by Keith I think they would be awesome looking especially with eyeballs for the retailers that read our post I believe that Keith's skirts would be a hot seller so you retailers should give Keith the try he has many outstanding baits we highly recommend him.
They look great
Thanks everyone, those were a custom order and have not had time to play with them anymore but I want to. I have a few ideas I want to try out. maybe late tonight. I have a lor on my site but I do a lot of custom work that I dont put on it.
snake is the tube mold you are talking about similar to I think what they call the umbrella tube outon the market? I hope Rick or caneycreek or basstackle or someone will offer a reasonably priced tube mold soon, especially with the tails cut in the mold. I have caught as many crappie on tubes as I have anything.
seeker no it isn't it say one-of-a-kind mold that Rick made for me we will try to shoot some this week and put them on here Keith keep up the good work for wanting to see more on what you have on your mind so I hope that you post them if you work with it this evening we were just in the shop seeker and looking at the mold I only wish now that I would've had more made incited just one to shoot 10 but we could definitely have Rick caught the mold I do not need any camps or anything like that I have plenty of them it is a solid body with a skirt shaped like a octopus are pretty close.
Them are some nice looking jig that u have there.
get that picture up here when you get a chance snake
