Title: Nine days from China....
Post by: ctom on 02/02/19 12:02 UTC

Not a bad timeframe for delivery of these petite guys.  From Shelt's.

Weight is 1/16 ounce and the body is just a shadow under 1 1/2", but listed at 1.6". Perfect crappie sized baits. Medium divers.

15 bodies, $18.00, no shipping fee. Hard to take. I'll be enjoying these dudes.

Funny how long it takes to get stuff from China.
I ordered eyes and some paint brush's, the eyes came through NY and were in customs for 31 days 6 weeks to get here. The brush came through California and took 8 days!

Can’t wait to see what color you paint it and the fish you catch on it. It’s does that take a long time but well worth the wait.

I thought nine days was speedee delivery kind of service. Man, it takes 5 to 7 weeks to get a mold from the Ukraine and East Coast customs.

I hope my chatterbait blades get here that fast. I found a Chinese seller on ebay that sells smaller size blades. Been looking for them for a long time. Slow rolling a chatterbait over deep rockpiles at night is deadly for summer smallmouth. These downsized blades should work great for this.

My second order of these small cranks should be here soon too.

I found some super small sonar-like blade baits that I want to try too. Next month I plan to get those on their way. The plating on them looks incredible. Maybe we're looking at the same items?

Seller I bought from is Countbassfishing. He has the coffin shaped blades that measure .51 wide X .58 tall for the small size, and .64 wide X .78 tall for the medium.

I have high hopes for my Poisontail Swing Chatterbaits this summer. I cut notches in my mold with a die grinder, following the vent groove from the edge of the mold to the eye. The notches accomodate the blade, so I don't have to cut the wire. Blade is attached before casting. Works great.
