Gilly Swimbait
« on: 01/06/23 07:52 UTC »

I would like to report this stone mold by the great Ukranian Guys of Bugmolds, whose are able to send us our "toys" also in this really difficult moment.
In reality it isn't a very easy mold to cast, but with the trick to pour before the lateral "buttons" I've been able to reach this result. After that, I created an empty room in the head using a scalpel, filled in with buoyant foam and re closing the "wound" with an hot blade. With a little insert weight in the belly is possible to obtain the vertical S swimming action.
Good Epiphany to all Soft Bait Makers.

P.S. to Berkley: I'm only an hobbist and this bait isn't imported in Italy, so let try to import it also in BelPaese ... in such way all my Fishing Buddies let stop to ask me this great swmbait.

Bye Cami

That's quite the apparition.

That really looks impressive... I love to see a video of it swimming in the water.

It should be like this https://www.youtube.com/shorts/3gAjzbkUmNQ , when I'll be able to find transparent water, then I'll try to make a video. Currently I obtained a vertical position in the water for this 4" with 1g insert and the back outside. I'm already using the Imakatsu JavaGill and I know that the S movement has given by 2 latearal wings, so it's important to pour them before. Instead in my opinion buttons functionality is more related to produce bubbles inside water.

dont feel the need to apologize to berkley, the bait they make is essentially a copy of a japanese bait that has been on the market for a long time, the ISSEI Gill Flat.
