Just got this mold. Shoots real easy and makes a great worm. A friend of mine just got back from Minnesota and brought me a bottle of Forty Creek and then this mold came to the door. I took both of them to the shop and life was great.

Very nice Lamar.

Very nicely done. Do you mind sharing what the blue is?

Just 6 drops 2X Blue in 8 oz plastic. The other is 2X pumpkin brown 8 drops to 8 oz plastic with black flake.

Too much of that 40 creek and you won't care how the mold injects or what the baits look like. Remember, you're getting to be an old duffer and can't handle much of the stuff with a 40 or a creek in it.
Likethe Kutters with the blue tails....who did them for you?

Given you primarily fish Erie, how do you expect be rigging them... (and if multiple ways, what percent of time for each)?
-
Great looking worm.

Nice.

I never fish Erie. I only fish inland waters of Ohio. I do fish around others states from time to time for fun. When I fish a speed worm I like to fish it with an 1/8 oz nose weight and Texas rigged. Sometimes I might go a little heavier if I want it to go deeper.

I never fish Erie.
What you talkin' about Willis?... never?
(I probably couldn't leave it alone if I lived there.)

I live 1 1/2 hours south. So it takes 3 hours out of your day to go there. And I've made that trip to many times to find out it was to rough to go out once I got there. Plus I fish a local tournament trail that we fish 6 lakes so I'm always fishing or pre fishing Central Ohio lakes. There are some pretty good sticks in it so if I have a three week period coming up then I'm pre fishing the up and coming lake that whole three weeks. If I'm fishing it then I'm in it to win it.

My son moved back from Ohio 1 year ago to Michigan .
He fish bass tournaments there ( Ohio ) for a few years.
He says mostly reservoir type lakes and the River . Mostly tough going to catch nice fish .
His partner was Andy Fryer in a Blue Ranger.

I know Andy and his Dad Jimmy. Jimmy and I fished on Bass Nation state team together back in 2003. They're pretty good sticks on Alum.

I definitely know what it's like to be on a tourney schedule... (I did that for about six years back in the 90s). And for some reason I thought you were much closer to the Big E, something like 30 miles or so from it, but I agree an hour and a half is more driving than I would want to do as well (at least on a regular basis) if there is decent fishing closer.

I will sometimes in the spring go to East Harbor or over to Portage River and fish. It's pretty protected and in the spring you can count on 40 to 50 bass a day. It's a ton of fun if you can get on them.

We put in at Port Clinton and would head out toward West Sister Island hitting various reefs/ rock piles... bucktail jigs and deep suspending jerkbaits were what we used back then, but soft plastics (on jigs and drop-shotting) would be my major players if I were to fish it now. Most days we fished were generally calm, but I remember one time we went out on glass and came in riding six footers.
