Not knocking on em though since drt cant keep them available I can’t wait to get my delivery so I can see the similarities to a DRT bait and to see how they perform.

I have thought the same, although i do really love the fact that these baits are hand carved, makes me feel a little better spending the money knowing that it was crafted not just a machine kicking them out. I haven’t fished it a ton yet but i haven’t figured out the tiny Josh’s yet, one thing I’ve seen a few people reference is weighing I’d down to fish off the bottom. I’ve though about possibly crafting my own wire guard for the tk to do just that, and i will be using this new bait for the same purpose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim137a Posted June 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 Like @chefchris stated copy the Japanese shipping info and use Google translate - mine is the same as @chefchris - says it was picked and shipped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The serial # is printed on the box lid. I did f get a few extra tails and wire guards with my original order. I grabbed a Baby B-1 and a B-1 to fish just to compare the 2 baits and fish them. i don’t have time to energy to flip baits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogers954 Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 Got mine today. Right off the bat the bait looks amazing and you can tell the attention to detail is there he obviously spends a lot of time getting these damn near perfect craftsmanship. Not sure what hooks he is running in these but they seem a little lite for my taste so I’ll be swapping them (plan to use this bait deep so heavier hooks will just help get it down along with the weights) paint job looks great to. This might seem dumb to some but i give a nod to the packaging, everything was packed very well. When you spend over $100 on a bait i don’t think it’s to much to ask for the maker to use some quality packaging especially on soft tails. Excited to get this bait out and see how it swims.

Jim137a Posted June 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 Had a chance to throw my Banderuola Designs Baby B-1 rainbow trout today. Landed 30 fish so I’m impressed. Bait swims awesome in current - I fished a lake wher a river dumps in and was definitely impressed with the baits action in a fast current. I used the short tail and kind of dead walked the bait all day and got fish after fish. I did add a piece of lead tape to the belly of the bait and wrapped some lead wire around the hook shanks - with that set up the bait suspends incredibly well.

Mr.B Posted October 11, 2021 Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 So it's been months. How's the bait? I got the zombie and haven't fished it yet as I work through my arsenal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
