massbass10 Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 That's one wicked nice trout. The eyes are like taxidermy quality. Way to go ACE of Bass and jigginpig 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigginpig Posted August 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 Thanks! I got tired of the real shiny eyes you can buy, just started making them. I think the ones l make look better, but l am probably biased. I make them for cranks too, saves a little money per bait and has a different look.

massbass10 Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 Your eyes are much more realistic than probalby 99% of store eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jigginpig Posted August 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 Nice...when can i get one of those in my hands I don't know if I will be going that way with this one. I might, but I have a few little things I want to do to it, and TBH make a better mold of the original. I made my mold when the master had a flat finish, and it makes de-molding the resin a little tricky, as well as having to fill pinholes in the cast bait. Not a structural issue per se, but it does add to the amount of time I have to spend dicking around with an individual lure. I did add just under 2 grams of weight to the bait yesterday and re-swam it, and it looks super, super good with a stop and start type retrieve. It still looks a little snakey/unnatural on a steady wind, but in my opinion ALL of the baits look a little strange when you just crank them in. The Triple Trout is the worst, and yet it gets bit quite well. My bait has about 50% of the curve the TT has, and responds to subtle imputs so much better. Not knocking the TT, I like them and use them and think they are a great product. I was just going for something different with this. I am about to start another carving, I will keep people up to speed on tat if the interest is there. Cheers all. SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
