Toad Bigfoot

[jdubs81]

I LOVE this mold.  Ive only been making plastics for two weeks, but Im learning a lot and having fun doing it!  Here are my 3.5 Toad Bigfoots that I finished today!  On a side note, ive ordered from 3 soft plastics supply companies over the last two weeks.  I am so impressed with CCM's Packing/Shipping and overall quality of products!  Way to go CCM!

Hey JD...Considering you can only pour one of those at a time, you've really been keeping yourself busy.  Good goin', and good looking toads.

[jdubs81]

Thanks Denny!  Yes its been a lot of work over the span of a week!  I poured the bellies one day along with the foam inserts, then the next day I placed the bellies one at a time and injected the green flake plastic, then today I got my 6mm eyes in the post so I put those on and dipped em all twice.  It took a long time but when I was done and stood over this little green army of frogs I felt a sense of pride!  My friends and I are going to have a great time with them!

For someone that has only been injecting for two weeks; ( or any length of time really ); those are very good looking frogs.  You have a knack and talent for it.

Thanks so much PJ!  I honestly could not of done it without the vast resources from this site and others like it!  My wallet is yelling mercy, im addicted!

Those look very professional! You'll realy feel great when you catch that first fish on one of your baits!

[pjmcla]

You know -  I bet Do-It would sell you some more Big Foot Toad molds and even a belly mold.  Then the fun can really begin.  Oh, and a Wutz-It, a Skinny Carrot or two, and a Mud Bug, and ......

Great baits, sir.

The top pic being formatted on that rough wood is awesome.

Hey thanks everybody!  Your supportive comments mean a lot!  I can't wait to get my hands on more molds!!!

I can't wait to get my hands on more molds!!!

Careful or you'll end up like Andrew with several tons of aluminum and have to put an 8X8 post under your storage shelf.

Great job on the frogs that is one mold that I still have to get.

[jdubs81]

I love the bait the mold produces.  I took some out today and was crawling it over lilly pads and bass were going crazy!  A pickerel came through and took its legs off!!  I think im going to dip a little further down to reinforce the legs a little.  Great bait though,  I was getting hits everywhere I fished with them.  Now im looking into the other CCM croaker molds to try out!

[Botanophilia]

Pike, Pickerel, and Muskies will take the legs off no matter what you do!    Just remelt and start over.  That's why I got into plastics.  Sick of spending a ton on frogs!

Those look amazing.  Nice job man!  I dip my frogs to the same point you do, it works great.  pjmcla mentioned the belly mold, I have that beaut and it makes life much easier.  I love it!  I would highly recommend that bad boy!
