Took advantage of another mold sale and picked up a few more molds! Yes im like a woman at the mall when it comes to a sale on molds! Heres a cricket thats a little under an inch. Surprisingly all the legs shoot great every time! Dont hesitate on getting this mold, guys. The gills are gonna be in trouble next year.

Rondon who made the mold. It is a great looking little plastic bait it definitely should be a killer on the bluegills.
Here are some that I have been buying on ebay. At first I tried some natural colored ones......the fish would not even look at them......then I tried black with red glitter and the fish bite them like crazy. Its a great bluegill bait.http://img.tapatalk.com/20a1f4c0-4776-db3a.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/20a1f4c0-4790-f310.jpg

Yep I picked up several more of his molds during last weeks sale. Awesome work with the tiny legs on his molds!
Ron how much flexibility do the legs have is there a lot of action.Quote:

Snake these have tons of movement. You can tell these will have far more action than the others posted later in this thread. But with gills I'm not sure action is everything! I shot these a lot harder to make the legs more durable. It's the perfect size for the gills around here. The body on these is 3/4 the legs make it a lil longer than an inch.
ron don....how can you tell that without testing both ? Your bait is a good looking bait but it does not look like a real cricket.....that probably dosen't matter to the fish though.
do you put any floating agent in the plastic I'm sure that the bluegill will like them I hope that you will take some pictures of the fish that you will catch with these plastic baits I think it should be interesting especially if you have other fish feeding on the surface they may be a trout killer.Quote:

comment about this post this is a very good post there is lots of information that Rondon sharing thank you and thank everybody else that is taking part this is definitely a learning post and I'm glad to see information like this come out keep up the good work Rondon we enjoy seeing your plastic baits and to hear how you make them especially using different plastics that you feel comfortable with and to make them is durable as you would like for catching fish.
Ron from someone that actually make baits I can tell you thats a great mold, Take you an old glitter jar and put worm oil and scent in it then pack it full of those. It will be unbeatable. And lets not get started on the whole what baits look real
how often does he run sales and is it advertised on his page? I either have never paid attention to that or just have not noticed.
Not knocking any baits here......I told you that your bait looked good. The guy on ebay makes these baits himself so.it is a do.it yourself bait. I simply posted.it here because I thought it was really realisitic. It is a good bait. I have been using this bait for sometime now

I also thought it interesting that my testing shows that the fish do not like it in a realistic color.....they prefer the black with the red flake. I just wanted to share this info with you. I test and try out many baits and was.just sharing information.

All I know is, when one of you guys start making them to sell, I would like to buy some. Send me a PM if anyone has some for sale...Thanks. I know the Bluegills up here would love them...
I like those black ones. You can send me about 50 to test for you.
I'll take 50 also we will put G to work.Quote:

I do not sell baits, and I do not make baits....I enjoy testing and trying baits out. I just posted that cricket like I said before because it is so realistic looking and I thought you guys might be interested to know about what my testing results colorwise. I thought it very interesting that the back with the red flake would perform better than a natural colored one. I also thought that some of you might like it and be on the lookout for a mold like that. Sorry for the hi jack.
Keith I know it's coming when I start a thread over, that's why I don't post very many baits here!
Seeker, BT had a 25% off sale last week for the holiday combined with free shipping. It was a good deal. Bear had a sale a couple weeks back. Caney has $5 shipping going on so if you want a bunch of molds you can save on shipping.
looks good RonDon.....I bet those are gill slayers
I like the crickets, looks good and nice work Ron.Thumbs Up
wish I had known about the 25% off sale I might have bought one or two. If you have any of your crickets left over just lying around please sendme a sample so I can decide if I want to buy that mold. Of course I will have to wait until spring to try it when the gills go on bed.
Thanks Ronnie.
CS start saving up for it. Pretty sure you'll want it and it's not that expensive!
Can you cook the same scent into those as you do your stinger shads?
