Maybe someday. I have to many things going now as is.

I dont remember exactly what I sold them for. Probably around $18-$20

My bad. I remember reading his email and I thought I responded but I never did. Yes your order was shipped I will send you an email with the tracking#

You cant just inject air into sold plastisol. It wont work. There needs to be a hollow space first. That hollow space is already going to be filled with air unless it gets filled with water then it would work just like marc626 says.

I had to take the drawing out of the frame to get a good picture without the flash on the glass.

This awesome art was sent to me from Wayne Marquis, drawn by his son.

I have had several customers tell me (and send pics) that they drop shot my U2 and Ultimate gills by tying a short leader on the belly ring with a weight at the end of the leader. From what they tell me they usually fish this technique deep.

Thats a good fish, Thanks for posting!

Great fish Anthony. I am glad the bait is producing for you. Thanks for posting!

Nice congrats Parker. Sorry I couldn't make it out there guys. I am stuck in my shop all weekend ( and week to). Glad a good fish was caught.

I don't recommend it. The weighting that is in the floater is in completely different spots then it is in the slow sink, and the floater is weighted very specific to its action. I don't think you can balance it right if you convert it. It took me a lot testing to dial in the weighting on both the floater and slow sinker so I don't think you can convert a floater and have the bait glide properly. If you did want to attempt it I would tape weights in various places along the bottom of the bait until it falls level and you had your desired sink rate. Then you can kind of get an idea how it will swim and you will know exactly where and how much weight to add.

The conditions make it very difficult on the vendors. They are lucky if they break even and most lose. They have no room to lower their prices to give the consumer any kind of a discounted price. The Bass a thon used to be invite only for vendors and they would hand pick the vendors who would create the biggest draws like the well know swimbait companies. Now they have a difficult time getting even the lesser known companies to show up. It used to be packed Saturday and Sunday. Now its slow on Saturday and dead on Sunday. Ten years ago they used to give away a real bass boat in the raffle. I wish Anglers would fix it (it would be easy) and make it great again. I remember Huddleston, 3:16, Rago, 22nd, Myself, Black dog, Castaic, Osprey, and many others all being there releasing brand new product. The customers didn't know where to go to first when they opened the doors. It was awesome.

you didn't miss a thing

welcome there is a lot knowledge here

I trapped years ago. Foxes were easy for me but not yotes. Never caught one. Very cool pics

Ken Huddleston and Chomp Josephite first started Castaic. Then Jason became the owner. I don't know the details on how that happened. Jason is a very under rated bait maker. and now its reaction strike

Jason sold Castaic to Nature vision who then sold it to reaction strike (trophy technologies) who is the current owners

My rat has not been released yet. I let a few guys buy/test them for me and have received a lot of good fed back and a lot of fish being caught. I am going to send a small batch to the bass a thon and then after I build up a little stock I will do a real release

I plan on sending some of my new rats up there with my rep Eric Brewer

Wayne's a beast congrats buddy!
