El Gusano, 2/11/14
« on: 02/11/14 14:12 UTC »
We are throwing another finesse worm into the mix.  Introducing...  EL GUSANO, 4.5" AND 6" along with laminate plates for each.  These are pretty straight forward worms designed to coax a difficult bite into happening.  The 6" has a diameter of 5/16" and the 4.5" diameter is 1/4" both tapering to the tail.  The front half of the worm is round then transitions to a flat tail section.  Perfect for drop shot or shakey head presentations these worms will boost your percentages with out a doubt. 

They are available for purchase by calling customer service directly 319-984-6055.

#95266, 4.5", 3 cavity = 99.00
#95267, 4.5" Lami Plate = 18.99
#95268, 6", 3 cavity = 129.00
#95269, 6" Lami Plate = 19.99

Can you make it in a 5 cav mold and drop the price to make it a better deal?  3 cavity for 129? Just seems a bit high.

Ok I have to ask. Why just three cav?  Why not five. Or even four?

Cost,as always, is based on the same formula used to figure cost on any existing designs.  It centers heavily on machine time, details, and the tooling used to achieve that.

Can you make it in a 5 cav mold and drop the price to make it a better deal?  3 cavity for 129? Just seems a bit high.

Of course we could have made it 4 or 5 cavities, but as mentioned, the price would certainly not drop by doing so.

You should really have a good look at this worm.  It's been in the works now for many months and tested, not only by us, but Elite Series Bass Anglers as well.  Their feed back has lead us to sacrifice cutting corners for an effective, quality design.

You should send some to indiana. See if that dog really does hunt. Only five fish here. And one died this winter I think.

Jerry V  -  On the 4.5 inch version; is that 1/4th at the head or at the egg sac?   If at the sac; what is the head diameter?

Thanks

lol. And a new mortgage to pay for it.  Its amazing that it takes that much longer to machine this worm vs the stick bait.
