T Dot Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 what are you thoughts on the material used for baits and what is your preference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceaser Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Nothing like a good wood bait! resin baits are just fine too but a wood bait will have that one of a kind action that no other bait can have, not even another of the same bait. Sad part is most of the wood baits available arent built as tough and rugged as the could be and individual tuning and testing of each lure to find the optimum action is usually thrown to the wayside for production reasons.

Nufo Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 ^ Plus one. They all get bit and all have their time and place. I stuck my PB striper on one of my resin prototypes this year and stuck my PB largie on a 3:16 resin bait. Ceaser is going to be singing about resin baits after this coming Monday. Just wait!

T Dot Posted March 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 my issue with resin as of late, is the lack of consistency. very few have qc where their tolerances are download to grams. it has been a crap shoot to get another bait at the same weight - not to mention to get it to swim the same way.

Ceaser Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Lack of consistency is a problem alot of the times. Sometimes it can be frustrating when you want something exactly the same but having a bait that is a little different pays off big time alot. My Hard gills are all SS and all sink at different rates. weird but the baits all catch fish and each has their own place. Oh yeah Mike! Im waiting for that sucker!! sounds great!

Nufo Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 There are a lot of variables that can affect a resin bait. The guys who are good at it can control those variables with precision to get consistency. Me personally, I just pour um the best I can and then test/tune it the way I would a wooden bait. Makes them all do what I want but is not feasable if your trying to mass produce and make a living at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
