Title: Mini Ripper
Post by: Do-it Rep on 01/09/18 11:34 UTC
The newest addition to the Ripper family is here and ready to order.

The new 3” Ripper features the same great swimming and wobbling action as its larger self but in a smaller scaled down profile to match smaller profile baitfish.
 
Below is a side by side comparison of both the original 3.5” Ripper on bottom and the 3” Ripper on top.  Both were shot with a dual injector. The new 3” Ripper is a great option for sizing down a presentation on a tough bite or when targeting smaller species of fish.
 
Mike J – I found this to be an ideal size for interior river walleyes when rigged up on the smaller swimbait heads.
 
I can also confirm that smallmouth gobble them up like candy and when crappies are feeding up on shad you’ll find the new 3” Ripper in the back of their throat. 
 
This single cavity mold is now in stock and available to forum members.

Call Jordan at (319) 984-6055 to get yours today.  These will also be available on the website at www.do-itmolds.com in the coming weeks.

Someone asked for a size comparison in hand.  We had the conversation that 1/2" from the original doesn't sound like much but when the bait is scaled down to meet that size it's noticeably smaller than one would come to think.  Here is a size comparison in hand for better reference.  Original 3.5" Ripper on bottom Mini 3" Ripper on top. Demand will somewhat dictate adding additional sizes and the addition of an Essential Series version of any of them.

I'd love to buy this mold in a smaller version if you had it available? Maybe 2" for crappies?

A 4 cavity cnc mold would be nice to see doing one at a time takes to long.

  A twin injector works better on a single cavity. I think that's why they make them this way. If I get a mold I really like I buy multiple molds to speed up the process.

I like the multi-cavity top inject for laminates. After I started injecting some years ago, I learned pretty quick I didn’t want a single cavity of anything. We’re talking swimbait here.

  I'm with ya on that but this mold is a laying on it side and not top to bottom like it would have to be to do laminates.

A twin injector does lams nicely. All of the pictures of the ripper baits are done using a twin injector. I've never been a fan of plates and find that splitting a color can be done as easily by hand filling half of a mold if the mold is oriented to a top and bottom. The single cavity of the Ripper cnc molds injects great with the twin and the baits are slick too. The bottom and single cavity in the Essential mold responds well to the twin as well. Having several of the molds can increase productivity, especially when a twin is used.
