Here's a bait I've been working on and will release soon. It is a 3.5" - 3.75" Swim Shad. I'm still testing it, but it looks really promising.

I also made a laminate plate for the 5" Wutz-It this weekend. It turned out cool and is great for those who don't want to hand pour or are dual injector challenged. Here is a bait made with it:

Our focus right now is swim style baits and hope to have some awesome baits / molds out around the first of the year.

Don't mistake this for a "Fry" like it's Crappie brethren. This is the Swim Shad:

I've been fishing it on a 3.0 worm hook with a split shot about 6"-8" up. It could be fished a lot of different ways, this is just the easiest.

The machine is running - I'm off to do some testing!
Tight lines!

Wicked looking bait. It fits the worm hook very well. Will there be a version with a fuller ( more rounded front end ) to better fit jig heads; and look more shad like at the same time?

This is a different bait than the Super Stinger (drop shot bait) and takes a jig well (probably depends on the jig head). Here is a pic with a jig head. I was out testing it and it works really well on a 1/8 oz. Bass Jig swimming it, also worked well on a small swim bait hook.

But did you catch anything?

I caught a couple on the Swim Shad and Swim Shad / jig. Here's one caught on a jig and Swim Shad.

I am all over it when this gets released. I love to throw the swim jig and this makes a really good trailer. Still versatile to throw without a jig head of course. I really dig versatile baits and this appears to be one of them. ;D
