mike h Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Is a shellback an Optimum bait? Looks like it resembles Optimum which is good in my book. Nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike h Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Brandon, I think yours look better than the Shellback IMO. I made several soft baits like that and they probably looked liked somebody else too. We have to start somewhere; usually from a bait that we have success with. For me it was Osprey Talon in the hitch color. I eventually made fish carvings as nice as possible and then added a tail that would swim. Can't say they worked any better than the plain ones tho. I used some at L. Amistad a couple years back. They worked. I had photos of all that stuff on SBN. Gone for good I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what I do, I can't seem to make a hard shad bait that doesn't look somewhat like either a Bullshad or a BD. Oh,well, I'm happy with them so that is all that matters. Good job on your mold. Same with me. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
