You can count me in.....
I have 10" worm, 5" Wutz-It, hand pour MD 3 XL, hand pour MD 5 XC, 3" & 4" frogs and soon a 5" carrot to offer (all CCM).
Jim
-
Do the baits have to be from CC molds?
-
I'm in. I'm open to all baits, but we can go with what the majority wants to do.
Jason
-
I should say JR and I are in ;D
He's the master mind of the operation!
-
All brands work for me, more the merrier!
Sign up by April 1st, baits postmarked by April 15th? That work for everyone?
Everyone do one bag of baits per person, 5-6 baits per bag.
-
Oh Ya!!!! Sounds like fun... ;D
-
Same baits in a bag or grab bag (like 5-6 baits but different style)? I like opening it up to all bait styles.
Jim
-
I vote all styles. That way everyone can put there go to bait and color in it.
Jason
-
Can someone fill me in on the details here? Never done one of these before.....so what goes on???
-
I'm in! ;D Not to influence anyone, but I would really like to see those 10" ribbed ribbon tail worms!
-
I am in. Variety is good for me. Frank
-

Each person that signs up is required to make 4-6 baits for every person that signs up. The baits can be the same or different color, type, and brand, how ever you feel to do it.
-
Gotcha tar. What about shipping and all that...addresses???
-
Sign me up!
-
I'm in but I'm a crappie guy so if y'all dont mind letting us minner dunkers in i'm game.
-
Gotcha tar. What about shipping and all that...addresses???
Yes sorry, typically most baits will fit in the small usps flat rate box, so when you mail your baits put a prepaid returned address or $5 in there and I post office purchase them to them back to you.
We dont mind Quack becuase thats mostly all I have.
-
Bass will eat them also. My PB on a 3" Carrot is 4lbs. I only fished it for 15 min. I need to go out and really focus them on Bass and see what happens. Brad said he picks up Bass and Walleye on them.
I think whey will open some guys eyes. This is actually why I had Feathercast build that rod for me. Needed to throw little baits but wanted the backbone to move a big fish!
Jason
-
I'm in! Sign me up.
Brad
-
Is there an ETA for the swap? I am super busy but want to be in this one.
Just trying to get my schedule knocked out so I can get these baits done on Tuesdays between 3 and 4am... LOL!!!! :o :o :o
Jim
-
Sign up by April 1st, baits postmarked by April 15th, and I will have them back out as soon as the last one shows up. I got boxes lastnight while I was at the post office. That work for everyone?
-
Yes, JR and I are going to tag team on this one. Not sure if he knows it yet, but he reads the forum a lot so I'm sure he'll know soon. ;D
-
Kewl!!!!!!!!!!
Jim
-
Last day to sign-up!!
-
Ok for my Louisiana public school understanding :D we ship them to you and you ship them out to the masses? This will cost me some money! See new baits and then I want new molds dang it lol It will be fun cant wait
-
Yes that is how it will work, figure its going to cost you $5 each way for usps small flat rate box, your plastic and time to get 40 to 50 baits back.
-
It looks like the magic number is 8. I'm looking forward to it.
-
Time for a little smack talking to get the juices flowing. JR and I just got done figuring out what we are going to pour, and in what colors. I won't get to carried away, but you better start planning now. We are going to put together a pretty nice bag of baits. Including one that is new (not released yet - but it may be by the time you get them).
Tight lines!
Jason
-
I got two that are not yet released. Hope your colors are good. Smack talking is good!!! Frank
-
Well you are only getting junebug and watermelon red flake out of me! MAYBE some green pumpkin if I get time!
Jim
-
PS Not fair to send unreleased baits!!!!!!!!!!! Unless they are coming to me that is... I'll take all of Franks and the unreleased from CCM please....
Jim
-
Yep, I have been thinking of some new color combonations on carrots and my mad dads.
-
This is going to be good! :D
-
Well I'm doing some Watermelon Blue 6" Skinny Carrots and some 4" Boogie Bugs.
-
Reason I can't do anything real fancy is I misplaced (= I LOST), my blending block??!! DUH!! I can't find that thing for my life. Tried to blame it on the kids, dog, neighbor but I am sure I set it somewhere and now, it is GONE!!! Sent a desperate messge to Kevin so hopefully I'll have one early next week.
Guess I need to buy a heavy duty gold chain for my new "bling". That thing will be around my neck from now on!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D
Jim
-
Jim,
If you don't get it in time you are going to have to dazzle us with your old school skills.
Jason
-
No sir!!!!!!!!!!! Only thing I can surprise you with is swims! I wish I could send a pile of those out but probably not going to happen this round.
Junebug and watermelon catch anything that swims anyway!!!!!!
Jim
PS If I do get it by then, it will be sexy lavender shad Slash Shads for all!!!!!! Plus 3 color 10" worms!!!!!!!!!! :P :P :P
-
I stole it Jim so everyone has an advantage over you. Now if we can tie one hand behind your back it will be fair. I will send it back after the swap. Frank
-
LOL - Frank you could send it my way for a couple of weeks!
Brad
-

Dang it!!!!!! You are THE ONLY one I haven't blamed!!!!!!!!!! My wife will be glad to hear you have it and it wasn't her that put it somewhere!!!!! :D :D :D
I do have a hand pour MD 3XL....hmmmmmm....
Jim
-
That's funny!!! Frank did it!
Maybe I can try that on my wife ;D
-

Somebody get that man a blending block!!!!! :o
-
LOL!!!! Seriously, my block may be here tomorrow so I may be able to crank out 2-3 color stuff.
My question is.... Do guys want 10" worms from CCM, Slash Shads, or hollow belly swimbaits, etc?
I am open for requests actually as some may want to see a particular color or bait style.
Let me know if there is something that you just want to fish with from me.
Jim
-
Is yes specific enough?
Would one of each be a good answer?
If it's easier for you to do just one bait, maybe you could post a picture of the worms you are making?
Thanks,
Jason
-
Hey Jim,
Here would be my wish list
1. 10" worms from CCM
2. slash shads in chartreuse shad, lavender shad, or sexy lavender.
;D

I just have so many things to choose from and would rather send things guys will actually fish than just send to send. I personally like to get a bag of the same baits as I like to fish with a bait a couple times. My luck will be I'll get a knock out color in a bait and only have 1.... :'(
Some don't even fish swimbaits so don't want to send those if they won't be used.
Heck, I just need to make everyone some swims + packs of baits and be done. You can always give away what you might not fish.
10-4 Firetiger.... I got you!!!!
-
Jim, it doesnt matter because I just want to drool over the outstanding work that you do. I was looking at your website the other day and it is amazing the work you do.
-
Thanks!!! After all these years, I'd quit if I didn't have so much fun still pouring and experimenting!!!
I have a couple of bags of the Rosy Carp in the box also....
Jim
-
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet!
-
Ok im started my swap baits and Im shooting yall a curve just to get the ideas going. They are caney creek baits with a twist.I hope yall will like
-
Put mine in the mail today.
-
Awesome... I got my blending block so I am up against the time element now but will get things done!!! I will ship tomorrow (Wed)....
Jim
-
We're almost there, just one more bait and we'll be packing up and shipping out.
Alex
-
Mine are all ready, will mail out tomorrow.
Brad
-
Wow, I got a small flat rate box and it is SMALL! I'm not sure how I'm going to cram 8 bags of stuff in there. :o
-
Go get a flat rate envelope. You can fit a lot more bait packs into it + it's a little cheaper to ship.
-
I'll try the envelope. Thanks!
-
Alright, we're done and we'll ship today. We included seven baits, three of which are not available at the moment, but will be in the next few days.
Jr.
-
I didn't get done what I wanted but am shipping today. Included a couple baits from some 2 sided pop molds that I hand pour. Just for some variety....
Jim
-
I just got back from the post office. I mailed my baits and a check to the IRS. I thought I was going to buy several molds, but I guess it's going to be more like one or two after that check! :'(
-
Mine went out saturday. One note of caution with mine you will get one with its own bag, do not put that bait with others it will bleed real bad. Sorry for sending them a day late. Frank
-
A few packages have already arrived, as soon all show up they will be going back out. So far they are looking great!
-

Now I'm excited... Baits that get a special bag. You must have a special treat for us!
-
Must have motor oil, blue crawfish, crawfish, chartruese, brown grape or one of the other numerous colors that will bleed like a stuck pig onto your other baits....
I can't wait!!!!!
Jim
-
Red shad red and it will turn salt red. I had a white bait I made special for one of my customers and touched it with a glove used for the red now it is ruined. Frank
-
Just waiting one one or two more packages to show up. And the baits are amazing that everyone has done.
Ok got a question for everyone, we had 8 people sign up so everyone sent 8 bags. Only need to do 7 bags, does everyone want their own baits back?
-
You keep mine or randomly pick a person to send the leftover to...
Jim
-
Doesn't matter to me. I think everyone sent 8 so you wouldn't have to figure out 8 different shipments (Brad's suggestion last time).
Jason
-
It will be A LOT easier on you to send back everyone's own baits. This way you have eight piles that are the same, package, label and your done. The other way you have eight piles and each one is different and must go in the correct package.
However you are more than welcome to keep my extra bag.
Thanks for putting it together, there's more work than people think!
Brad
-
I'd rather not pay again to have a single bag of baits shipped back to me. We can't expect Ted to cover that shipping cost so I would say paypal him shipping $$$ if you want your baits back or let him know what to do with yours as soon as possible.
Jim
-
He can do whatever he wants with ours. We only sent 8 to help him with the sorting as Brad explained above, 8 piles that are the same.
Jason
-
You wont have to pay extra shipping on anything. There are 8 people and you sent in 8 bags of baits. It just makes sorting easier because you can get confused.
-
I will do just that, ship 8 bags out.
Just waiting on one package and then they will be going out.
-
Got the last package in over the weekend, will sort and pack tonight and will be in the mail 5/26. That should get them to everyone by the end of the week.
-
Thanks for doing swap Ted!
Jim
-
We got our baits yesterday. All I can say is WOW. You guys did an awesome job!!! Great baits, great colors, looks more like art than something to fish with. Great job!
Ted, Thanks for putting this together.
Jason
-
I will echo that statement!!! I love to see all the colors and bait designs! Very innovative and thought provoking stuff!
Thanks again to all that participated and to Ted for taking care of everything. I will dcefinitely participate going forward!!!!!!
Jim
-
I got in late last night, so I was not able to check my mail until this evening. Wow, nice baits. Everyone had some cool colors. I'm glad I received carrots because I have wanted to try those out. I think the big worm mold is next on my list, those worms are nice!
Hey shockley32 I'm digging that purple color you pour.
Frank, cool lil' dog. And that swimbait with the double tail looks wild. I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of action it has.
Jason & CCM_jr, those are some nice smelling baits! That craw with the BIG claws is unbelievable. I can’t wait to see that swim by a big bass!
Ghost, what can I say, the slash shads are a work of art.
Hey everyone did a great job, thanks; I now have some field research to do!
Thanks to TAE73 for coordinating everything also.
-
Nice job guys. Got them today and they all look good. Some people pulled out some molds not available, nice. Wish I had time to fish. Thanks to all who participated. Frank
-
2 baits in my bag were from 2 piece pop molds that I hand pour.... The "grass craw" and the beaver type bait with the duel claws.... Just something I keep on hand in the baots that I was tired of paying for or not having!!!
Jim
-
Now you're making me jealous - mine haven't made it yet. :'(
It's funny how the sometimes the closer you are the longer it takes the mail!
Brad
-
I think Ted kept yours! :o
-
Now that is screwed up because Qwack already got his, I could of hand delivered yours.
-
My baits made it!!!! Great job guys.
Brad
-
If anyone got extra bags of Ghost baits marked for Firetiger can you please let me know. Jim had sent baits for Firetiger, and speaking with Firetiger he did not get them, so I know someone got extra's. Please let me know and I will send you the money to send them to Firetiger.
