Great feeling catching fish on baits you poured.

I have most of the BA series molds and I love them alot. I just got the 1.75 mold a few weeks ago and it pours credit. Their saucer tail molds are also great if you want a bait with a more robust body.
A very nice mold.
Nice selection of molds. They even have a Crappie Magnet mold.
Please post your pours. You and I might swap some lures we've made from molds.
I like the idea of swaping baitsQuote:

She hasn't been home since May 15th & still got a ways to go to get back to normal. On a good note though at the rate i'm catching them now me being a total newby i shouldn't have to spend to much time making them & they sure should last a while so she'll get plenty of qttewntion when she needs it. :Rofl
Hope all goes well with the first lady.
Lures last for many fish and a dozen will last all year except for the ones that are thin-tailed that get bit off - like the two designs I used yesterday that at least they caught over 20 fish plus a 3lb bass to boot! Ahhh, so nice catching fish on lures you've made....
That is exactly why I started tying jigs and making my own soft plastic lures. I love that feeling.Quote:

That’s awesome! Within the last several years I have started tying my own jigs. It’s a wonderful hobby and satisfaction when you catch on baits you made. Wish I had started when I was young.
Me too - I'd have a lot more space in the basement if I had and a lot more money in my pocket. LOLQuote:

The heads back then we’re really hard to get I have a friend of mine that made them and I got them from him they were definitely very old fashion style. Over the years I help a few manufactures with different problems that they were having.Quote:
