Thanks everyone for all the helpful posts. Really makes things easier. Did a lot of reading last night. Looked at some supplies. Going to hopefully make some of my first purchases this week.


Do any of you use the carrot molds? They caught my eye last night and might have to be one of my future purchases!

I think a carrot mold would be an excellent choice for a first mold.  It is easy to shoot and it definitely catches fish.  You also have many sizes to choose from.
Until next time.

The carrot molds shoot extremely well and are not at all finicky like some molds. I have the 5" skinny carrot and that thing just straight up catches fish. I've rigged it wacky, texas, and used it like a jerk bait and those all work really well. (The jerk bait presentation is my favorite though)

Glad to hear they work well. I'm gonna keep an eye out for people selling any of them before I buy the mold. Hopefully some show up soon. I saw a few molds for sale but they were already sold.

Getting excited to start. I saw a 700w microwave for sale at Walmart this morning for $40. Prob pick that up this weekend.

Mike. You have to be quick on the draw around here  picking up used  molds. Denny buys most of them.   I think he has two of each mold  ccm has. 

I don't see to many carrots for sell.  I have the five skinny and could never part with it.  It's my go to bait when things get tough.   Goes well on a shaky head.
