CG_Fishes Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 am I the only one who has had the idea to cut the tail of the 10" hudd and mend it to the 8" hudd kinda like the 68 but on a larger scale, shame the 10" hudds are so expensive or i think that this could catch on for sure, if youve tried it let me know how it worked for you VolunteerSwimbaits 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basssavage24/7 Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Yeah there's a video on YouTube of a guy using plaster of Paris to create a mold for the tails. So he just keep making 10 inch hudd tails. Which is not a a bad idea if you tear a lot tails off. Detex_outdoors 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niki814 Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 I thought about it when the 10" came out. But its to much $ if some one molds a 10" tail that would be badass!! Im not buying a 10" just to mold the tail. I suck with a hudd so it would be pointless for me to do that.lol VolunteerSwimbaits 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Till then Im not making a mold but the plaster of Paris seems like a very good alternative and cheap to make molds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basssavage24/7 Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 True that but I always see people selling them for cheap. Never understood why I got a few tricks up my sleeve for rigging to give me an edge never see too many people doing it only guy here or there. But I'm not going to Spill the Beans yet till I build up my stockpile. I've only caught a few hudd fish but the alpha is where it's at it in the bodies of water iFish the thing I love about the alpha is compared to the hudd is that the alpha has a body wiggle on top of a tail thump I feel like that what separates other baits on the market versus the alpha. On top of it the fold up you get on the alpha is crazy still sticking 3 pounders. If people don't like them keep selling them this bait catches the first bass of the year for me a most often my biggest. I understand people have their preferences when it comes to they're soft Plastics I just never understood why people never dig on the alpha Rogervang 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basssavage24/7 Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Don't know how the 8.5 are I only like the 6 inch and the 9.5 inch but I'm not sure if the new batch of 10 inch with the mouth open like the other Alpahs is like the 9.5 because when I measured the 9.5 they were 10 inch bait not sure if it's the same bait from the same mold haven't picked up a new batch yet. But the first couple batches advertised as advertised as 9.5 are my favorite. As far as fishing small ponds I live in Idaho most people think a 5lb fish is a catch of a lifetime I still throw my 12-inch ABT and get a 2 pounder to come up and smack it. I feel like bait size only matters to a certain extent but if you're looking for the biggest fish in the pond. The drawing power of those big baits will at least let you see them as there trying to figure out if they should eat it or not but that's been my experience here in Idaho.

basssavage24/7 Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 I just got a batch in of Alphas shads. Haven't got to use them yet. Don't have any 8/0 beast hooks Trying to finish off my Magnum rat collection first. Also my high-speed reel is down which sucks cuz I need it for brown trout fishing during the winter. It's hard trying to do rod and reel repairs you can't catch him from the couch and two week waiting periods is agony for any fisherman I feel like.
