Jason' I was wondering; if your willing to say. What are your Top 5 or Top 10 selling molds. Just want to see if I'm missing the boat on something; kind of like rigging a bait a different way. One bait to me might look sweet but to the other guys it may look terrible.

This Nano excitement got me thinking. Local bait shop guy told me that the shop just breaks even until ice fishing around here. When the ice comes he said its time to make money.

I thought about this all weekend and really don't have a good answer. You can see from the customer reviews different feedback from others. I think it boils down to your strengths as a fishermen, species, time of year and location.
All of the baits / molds we sell are productive or they never make it to the site. Maybe others can chime in with their favorites.
I prefer to fish slower than run and gun. I would prefer quality over quantity to the point that I'm okay with a couple fish as long as they are the right ones. Our main species are LMB and Crappie on Fork. I really take feedback from everyone regarding how we can make a better bait and overall I think it has really worked well especially on species other than LMB.
My favorites I like to fish (LMB), Ribbon Tail worms, Jig with Birch Bug, Swim Shad, Mud Bug, Lil' Toad Sticker or Chub Grub as a trailer, MD3 XL Texas Rigged when the bite is tough, 5" and 7" Wutz-It or 5" / 6" Regular Carrot as a Jerk Bait, 6" Skinny Carrot Wacky rigged and the Toads and Croakers. This year the 3'5" Super Fry was awesome on bedding fish. These are kind of my staple go to baits.
Sorry for the lame answer.

Nano is THE bait/mold to have then! I have just started in the smaller/tiny plastics and the nano is sweet. The triangular tail can also be cut off and used as a wedge if the bite is real tough.
Crazy good is all I can say!

The 5" Wutzit has proven to be an absolute killer for us. Especially in a laminate.

Asking Jason is not really fair to Him. It puts him in a bad spot because a great ice fishing bait would garner lessor interest to a Lake Falcon oriented bait maker; and vice versa. Jason has to try to satisfy ( or at least pacify ) as many of us as he can. Maybe a forum poll as to what a users best baits ( either sales or catch rates ) have been.

I love the 7" Ribbon Tail Worm. That thing has crazy action! Just my 2 cents.
-
the Carrot in 3, 3.5 & 4 inch. are very good baits in saltwater...how about in freshwater??
-
My favorite right now is the 1.75 small fry. We drop shot it. Here in Indiana we are allowed three hooks per line, so I put three drop shot hooks on the line approx.. 12 to 18 inches apart. I can check three or four feet of water from the bottom in three different colors and everything hits it! Bass, bluegill, crappie, perch, walleye and northern. You never know what your going to catch.
-
Woops! My goof. In Indiana your allowed two hooks plus the drop shot weight. Your also allowed three rods.

I wish I had more testing time ( fishing ) with the Carrots to give a more accurate response; but, in the little time I have fished them; both the three regular and the three skinny and the 3.5 inch have all produced. Once the weather gets cooler I will have more fishing time and have a more definitive answer.
