State by state or atleast regional would've theory fair way to conduct tourneys IMO

Yah gotta think states like Cali , Florida, Texas etc... Have a year round feeding enviroment. Bass don't go into the lethargic stages like bass in northern states do. Therefore can eat and grow larger quicker. I'm from jersey and my PB is 6 pounds 7 ounces and it's not for lackif skill or time on the water.... Natures a "Not Allowed"

Also I know it's ass backward but I'm taking a cast of the main body and gonna test a bill for a wake bait style swim . Maybe 1 to 2 foot swimmer. Gonna be a bitxh to square the bill up because it's not square, but still easier than starting from scratch

Hope y'all dig the stache..

First cast from the new molds. Not without a few hiccups. Especially on the tail section. My mold has removable pins so I don't have to drill the hole for the hinge every time. Wasn't thinking in mold lingo and kept getting a bubble because my pour spout wasn't at the highest point of the mold. After a few pours and some brainstorming I figured out a solution. I inserted a small plastic tube through the silicone to where the bubble was forming allowing the air to escape. Problem solved. Also I poured a fin section out of soft plastic, wasn't happy with the product so I'm sculpting a new one a little thicker and I'm going to clear coat it before I make a mold so it comes out extra smooth. The fins going to slip in a round notch I made in the tail portion of the bait. It's gonna be supported by a carbon fiber pinto lockout in place. Probably gonna have to include a few extras with everyone's orders finally ... Do you guys prefer the eyelet you tie too lvertical or horozontal. Hope you guys like it. IGNORE THE BASS PATERN IN PENCIL I WAS DRUNk. Jim. Follow me on Instagram @jimmy____davis thanks dudes:

So the guy that brought all this up about the rules at the top of the forum was pizz customs? Been following him for years on insta had no idea. @SPEEDBEAD

Starting off with a 1x1x1 ratio of part a/b and micro balloons Might down the micro balloons so I don't have to as as much weight any suggestions.

First cast from the mold now for the weighting and testing... Should be throwing some paint by Monday or so stay tuned. Also I don't mean to start anything when i started this post. Sorry fellas. Jim

Mold building is definitely trial and error. And very costly each mistake can set you back 30$. Let me know what you guys think . And yes my desk looks like a bomb went off

@SPEEDBEAD I'm sorry man I definitely didn't see that and now I feel retarded. Lol I still have Instagram I guess. Sorry for comming across like a know it all

Yeah it's this stuff called Thule I beileive. Kind of like a lace for weddings and girly things lol you can get it at any craft store. All thanks guys just got the first half of my new glide mold done should have some good stuff to look at in the comming days.

@thatstickybandit it's still in the works but it's gonna be a slow sink made out of two part plastic. I made a sepret mold for the tail fin I'm gonna cast that in soft plastic rubber. Should have nice action.

I read the rules and don't see a no handmade swimbait rule ? So I have to be a liscrnsed known company to sell a lure I have an Llc dude

Just wanted to show my progress with the airbrush. I'll have some new baits on the black market and my website up shortly. Thanks dudes.

What do you guys think 5. 1/2 inch hinge pin glide. ( tails gonna be cast in soft plastic ) [

Just workin some kinks out buttholbill. Don't wanna put put a shitty product that doesn't do what I want it to. Just trying to get things consistent from bait to bait. Ill keep you guys posted. Thanks for the love guys ill post my progress maybe a swim video on e this ice is gone.

Just wanted to get an opinion on weight placement. My bait has the sink I want and the action I want but as it does its S pattern through the water it rolls a little to much, like its sides roll almost facing bottom. My question is at this point my weights couldn't be closer to the bottom of my bait ( imbedded horizontally ). Can I fix this by puttin my weights closer to center mass. Or vertically. Any insight would be appreciated.

Hey guys wondering what angle you guys cut your jointed baits at. I've used 45• on my last two and was wondering what works beat in your opinions. Do I go bigger or smaller? Thanks guys.

Thanks man will probably be puting some swim videos up once my buddy's pools open. Probably some good underwater shots. And ill be throwing a few up on the black market soon for a good price just looking for some feedback and fish pictures lol some professional opinions

Hey guys just wanted to share some of the swimbaits I've been making for the past fw months. First post, but just happy to be on the site of all sites for swimbait addicts. All my lures are hand carved, molded,casted in resin, and painted by me. Just wanna see what you guys think.
