We have a bunch of new designs that we have been and are currently working on. We've reached that point where we have enough "ponies in the stable" that we feel we can begin to cut a pony or two loose on a regular basis. This particular release is to satisfy something that has been frequently requested. I would like to introduce to you the 2.5" and 3" K-Chub molds.
TAKE A LOOK
Item # 95260

If anyone out there is interested in one or more of these molds shoot me a PM, email or phone me 319-984-6055 and we'll get you fixed up.

Is the dimension as it swims or in the mold?
That 2.5" will be a smallmouth killer!
-
Not unlike the 3.5 that is more of an "as it swims" type measurement. The baits as they lay in the mold are closer to 2" and 2.5". They're cute little buggers.
-
Those smell like walleye. K Grubs are a popular bait up this way during the late fall and again in the spring.
-
2.5 should work work great on crappie
-
oh im thinking i might need both for inshore saltwater.. the calico, sandbass, and spottied bay bass will go nuts this sping
-
I meant to ask, is there a lami plate or tail mold in the future of this bait?
-
Not sure a lami plate is gonna do us much good unless you want to shoot side by side colors... but it could happen. A tail mold too if there's enough interest.
-

I think they're both a good Crappie bait, and the 3" could do double duty as a Walleye or Smallmouth bait as well. The existing 3.5 is a good Walleye and Smallmouth bait already. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if a 4" version hatches pretty darn soon...
-
Nice - I just picked up the 3.5" version - so I think I see that 2.5 in the near future.
Any chance of a 5"?
Can you give us any other hints at what might be coming? like a k-tail? maybe? maybe?
-
All these new molds coming out. Good thing I have been busy out in the wrecker making money. Sounds like I will need it.

Yep there's a "chance" at 5" and Yep there "maybe" K-tail molds in the future. We'll have to see how it progresses. Thanks for the input that's what we're gonna need to get it done.

Do-it should let us design a mold during the tour!

I'm sure there will be more than one mold designed at the Get Together in Jan.. Maybe we can narrow it down to "a mold" and call it the Custom Baits Forum mold, or "CBF" or something like that...
-
What a great breath of fresh air to see new molds rolling out :). Good looking molds. Keep 'em coming.
-
It took a little longer than any of us expected Paul. We've overcome a great deal in the last year and all of us at Do-It, like you, are very much looking forward to "keeping 'em coming" Thank you all for your patience and support.

2.5" is on the wish list now. I was hoping we'd see a smaller k chub. Can't wait to see what else is coming.

Woo hoo! I really - really - want a k-tail or three.
-
Nice work ! I think those would work great as trailers for spinnerbaits and buzz baits. I also like seeing that you can make more then just two at a time.
-
Awesome. Man I cant wait for those to hit the site.

I was hoping a bigger chub grub would become available to pair with my swim jigs... that bigger body (and tail) is definitely needed for bulking up one of my big bass faves! Until it comes to pass, I'm still planning on using the mogambo (on the DL, of course) ;)... because that seems to put a few more of the "wide-lips" in the boat for me.
-
Another vote for a 5" or 5.5" for swimjigs.

another one I'd love to see would be a 2" smoking shad -

Need to add both to the got to have list. Mike 8)

Catfish on plastics....cool. :D
-
Ctom - The Alabama Rig has produced a fair number of really big flatheads and blues on G'ville & Pickwick. As has the DD-22 crankbait ( esp. flatheads on the crank ). We are talking fish 40 lb. and up here.
-
In the fall jigging walleyes on the Mississippi we see catfish on everything we've thrown over the years. Trolling stick baits, casting cranks, jigging plastic or hair, and of course bait. Flatties seem to come from deeper runs of main channel areas while the channel cats general make themselves know closer to more turbulent water. I got a flattie six years ago in November that weighed right around 56 pounds....caught, kept for weighing and then trucked right back to the drink. We darned near flipped my Jon boat getting that pig on a rope. This fish hit a hair jig fished tight to the bottom in 33 feet of water. I hooked up on one that was even larger in the pool above the pool where the 56 came a couple years earlier but it came un-pinned at the boat before we could get any vitals off it.
-
Wife caught a flathead that was 40# on a pig'n'jig - I remember it fondly - she casted out, set the hook and proclaimed -
Something's Got ME!!
Oddest catfish catch I had was a blue off of a baby brush hog - probably 10# class fish, but it was out of a middle of a stump/brush field, so it was fun to drag in.
-
Never caught a catfish, unless you count bullheads. Just not many cats around here. Blues and channels being caught on pretty much any lure doesn't surprise me, they're active predators that will chase down baitfish (or feeder fish in an aquarium). What does a 60 pound catfish eat? Anything it wants! So I guess the flatheads don't surprise me either.

"Wide-lips" is actually a slang for bass that I hijacked from my Dad, but I do get catfish ("whiskers") on plastics...

This was the second biggest (my biggest) of 5 we boated that day while test driving the 4.75" smokin' shad and the 6.5" ringed ribbon tail (both rigged on 3/4oz lead heads), just before freeze up. When it comes to cold water plastics, I like to go bigger than most because I think the pay off is worth it... heck, I like to go big in warm water too!
-
I don't specifically fish for any fish with wide lips. lol Ok.....I have been known to toss some poppers and frogs for a bass now and again and the bass with narrow lips that love cold water have molested some of my crappie baits.

Smallies will always be my fish of choice with all other things being equal, but I like anything that "stretches the string". That basically means I'll go after whatever tickles me at the given time of year... and sometimes I might have a day to day itch between having fun (action) or taking on a challenge (size). The reason I walleyes fish so much in the winter is because I can't cast for bass. The same mentality applies to ice fishing; I do it because I like to fish, and any fishing is better than no fishing.
