Title: Carrot Dimensions
Post by: BassDetective on 02/16/12 10:03 UTC
What are the dimensions of the 5 " and 6" regular carrots.  I own the 7 skinny as a point of reference. I obviously know the length just wondering about the diameter at the head, midway, and tail.

The 5" is .45", the 6" is .5" both taper similar to the other Carrots.

The six inch regular carrot is a "substantial"  6 inch worm in my opinion.  But; it has a good action in my opinion.  If you were wanting a worm that had more body than the "typical" 6  inch worm, I would suggest you seriously consider it.  The sample I have weighs 188 grains - Or a little over 3/8th's of an ounce if my math is correct.  Certainly castable without a weight.  As a side; when I took the sample bait out of the sample pack my wife was watching.   She said " Oh, that one looks too much like a snake.  If you get that mold, don't bring any of the baits in the house without warning me."  She is not a "wilting flower",  and loves to fish both fresh and salt water.

Thank you for the additional feedback.  I have a 6 inch fat stick mold that I am getting bored with so I am thinking of changing it up a little.  Definitely looking for something substantial as I already have the skinny for my drop shot.

The 6" or 7" regular are substantial baits.  I also have a request for an 8" I need to do.  All are pretty big baits.

I received my order today.  I love the look of this bait.  I am going to try and fish it tomorrow if I can.

Hey BassDetective -  did you get a mold or sample baits?  Which size?
If you don't mind me asking.

I purchased the 6 inch Carrot.  I love the dimensions on the bait.  Can't wait to start flippin and pitchin that bait as the weather warms up here.
