Well I got to use it yesterday for about four hours, caught 2 crappie about little over a pound, Large mouth bass one 3 pounder using a red and Char mid south jig. The bite was really slow. bluegill by the Zillions. So I'd say it is a Winner, if it doesn't dry out?? The first batch was flat as a pancake, the new stuff was very usable. Did you do anything different in the new batch?? Stayed on hook very good. The Bluegill really go for it Big Time. Thanks for the second batch..:biggrin
Pics of the bait please would like to see what you are talking about
Check with Slab for pictures

Are they available for purchase yet I would really like to try some out
See, what did I tell you! It works. Thanks for giving it a second chance. And as of right now I've not done anything new to the scent. But I do have ideas. Crappie pro suggested sparkles. And there's an ingredient I need to increase to make it less susceptible to melting. It's a work in progress. But when it's done we're gonna have something real good that's for sure.Quote:

I don't mean to take the name of the new product and give it my name Gummy Bears, it's just that , that's what came to mind when I saw it????? You have to admit it's kinda Catch-e
not enough area for sparkles, and most of us use tubes with sparkle's at least I do?? If you push it up close to where the hollow part of the tube is it flares out the tube. We just have to keep trying different things. but I think it's a winner??
this sounds like a killer attractant.....might work good in Livingston and samrayburn, any place to purchace a few?????? thanks
Going to be trying it ove on the Texas side of Caddo Lake in a couple of weeks. Will let you know how it goes.
No place to purchase it just yet but I can send you a sample. Pm me your mailing address.
A sample won't go out for a week though. I have to do up another and hopefully improved batch.
Used it again yesterday, didn't do much with it or with out it. They just shut down even the blue gill??? oh well you don't win every day. I only fish a few hours at a time, MY BACK IS KILLING ME...
Sorry I haven't been on to report from KY yet, Slab. I can't give a very thorough report. Mine arrived in as packaged condition and I did catch a few fish with them on the hooks of my cranks the first day that I tried them. The next day I went to try them, I had a bag full of goo. It was semi liquid like a fine gravy so I just slathered it on one crank. That crank caught the only crappie I caught that day. Not sure if it was the color of that one or the scent. The crappie haven't been playing well here this summer so it's hard to run a test with the same color crank of one with and one without.
I like to try a pkg myself for stuffin' in a tube. So hot here now it would melt fast unless I kept it in the cooler with the cold water so it would stay cool until put on a jig.
Slab, if you'd send me a pkg, I'd send you a money order to renew my sponsorship. Thanks. PM sent.
you ever think of making it a putty consistency? i use my crappie nibbles like a paste, instead of putting them on hook as is. they will go 10x as far that way. i smash one on the inside of the lid. then i take a finger tip full and wipe it on the back of the jig head. i can catch a couple fish before adding more. when the bait is just hooked on, as it comes, it gets picked off too easy. thats probably intentional though. lol
just a thought, good luck with your product slab. sounds like a winner!
This is why I made it gummy bear consistency, so it stays on the hook. We used to have a paste, but it came off the hook after a couple casts. The only problem now is, it melts in the heat. Everyone seems to forget not to leave it in the sun. But that's to be expected, I've forgotten myself and ended up with mush! lolQuote:

Nimrod, if you're talking about extruded, I don't know how to make that being it's a gummy bear type product that has to cool. I suppose you could wait for it to cool to the perfect temp and extrude it at that temp, but kinda complicated. And I have made it in strips/strings (rope like) that could be cut, but I think precut is a little better. Still melts in the sun though either way.
I can imagine a small tubing extruder, that has a temperature controlled hopper. My father was a plastics engineer, and designed stuff like this all the time. It's actually quite similar to how Redvine licorice is made.Quote:

I like the idea of sparkles added to it. First I've heard of this but definitely interested. Hope you let us know when you have a finished product. Use crappie nibbles but looks like this might not be as easy to knock off.
Slab was kind enough to send me a sample of the Gewbers. It works good as an attractant. What I REALLY like is how well it stays on the hook. The brim can't steal it like the other brand I have used. Good job Slab. Hope you can market it soon! Thanks Cardsfan55
ok, it must be stronger than it looks in the photos. nice!
I wish. He got out of the business when his job got sent to Mexico. He has been retired for about 10 years now. Heck, he can barely see well enough to get a hook tied on the line. But he still out fishes me!Quote:

It's certainly worth a try, but it's more like a jello type product, starts off liquid and hot, then has to set like jello. It takes a while to set. I'm not sure it can really be extruded. If its done hot, or even too warm, it'll just set up after becoming a puddle. A mold works better for this type of product. Or I suppose just the perfect temperature. I need to know more about how licorice is made maybe.Quote:
