OK, all you DIY plastics guys ...

Here's a little something for you to chew on ...

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 ??

I believe that plastic bait was a mold from bear and it was double dipped we do have the mold and we will have to mess with that one a little bit will post if it comes out even close to what you have.

Thanks, Bob .... that stinger you have in your avatar picture is pretty much the same coloration that I'm looking for. I wouldn't even be opposed to the red iris eye, if you didn't have the prismatic ones.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with !!

Wouldn't mind seeing what some of the other custom plastics makers can come up with, either !! These (Nasty Shad) really are a good Crappie bait, or else I'd just go back to using the Lunker City Fin-S-Shad ... which is what I was using before Keith made these for me.

Way to go Bob. Be sure Pappy's request is done after my requests. Lol I still would like you to also pm me a photo of you and LeeAnn in your jerseys ...side by side. Don't forget to work on that rod. Thank you my friend.

well guys I rushed up my next week things I was messing around today I had some time soul let me know what you think of the plastic baits crappiepeppy.
Attachment 115486Attachment 115487

Dang, Snake .... if that top one was just a wee bit bluer & clearer, I would have a hard time telling yours & Keith's apart !! Probably the only way would be that yours has a textured tail, and Keith's is smooth. Man, oh man .... that's just awesome (& on the first try, too) !! :HandsClapping
Can't wait to see your second batch attempt !! Bet you nail it, dead on :ThumbsUp

Now ... about that second one : Is the tail vertical or horizontal to the body ?? Not that it matters all that much, but I'm just curious ... it looks horizontal to the body, but may just be laying over. If it is horizontal ... I can imagine it having seriously good action for vertical jigging. If it's vertical ... I can see it being a good choice for smaller jigheads with smaller hooks. It looks to be the same length as the one in the top picture, just with a shorter body length. That would make a great little compact bait for something like a 1/32oz jighead w/ #4 hook ... and probably be a good dock shooting bait !!

Come to think of it .... even if the tail IS vertical to the body, it wouldn't matter. Since it's a barrel shaped body, you could make the tail horizontal to the body by simply placing the eyes in a different position. Or, you could leave the eyes off ... and the angler could determine which way the tail would be, according to their desire.

send me a sample of that top one to try when you can please.

we can make them just like Keith's 100% the reason why they look that way in the picture is because we used Pearl blue and I used a high light blue the bottom picture is up to the customer but we would normally run the eyeballs so that tale is vertical. And thank you for your comments.

Oh, OK Snake .... Pearl Blue was used .... gotcha !!

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 :Rofl .... he's already out there :fish 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.

I've got that mold, I have actually done that same color combo as well, I do not use eyes though, good job snake!

Snake ... my order has been PM'd to you !! Thanks !!

... cp :kewl

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."

Sheeskalambooskabygollygeewow....I am 67. I guess that makes you an old man.

Two shoulder operations, 7 days in coronary care, 2 very bad knees, bronchial pneumonia, heart catherization, appendectome, Palmar reconstruction and gout make me feel 83 some days. This is for Pappy and G the young whippersnappers who are wannabe old geezers. :biggrin:biggrin:biggrin

Another year has passed
And we're all a little older.
Last summer felt hotter
And winter seems much colder.

There was a time not long ago
When life was quite a blast.
Now I fully understand
About 'Living in the Past'

We used to go to weddings,
Football games and lunches.
Now we go to funeral homes
And after-funeral brunches.

We used to have hangovers,
From parties that were gay.
Now we suffer body aches
And while the night away.

We used to go out dining,
And couldn't get our fill.
Now we ask for doggie bags,
Come home and take a pill.

We used to often travel
To places near and far.
Now we get sore asses
From riding in the car.

We used to go to nightclubs
And drink a little booze.
Now we stay home at night
And watch the evening news.

That, my friend is how life is,
And now my tale is told.
So, enjoy each day and live it up...
Before you're too darn old.

NICE SHIP, How true!
