Jerry am I right the worm is full round and changes to semi flat at the tail

Yes, the tail section of this bait is totally flat on the bottom.  The nose section of the bait is full round for easy rigging.

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.

you ain't kidding!!! Sorry guys, but $129 for a 3 cavity "off the shelf" commercially available mold is quite high, makes more sense to have a custom bait made and the molds cut if you're looking at any kind of cavity count.

Thanks for the input guys.  We're always open to your comments.

While the price point for this particular mold may not be for everyone, this is the bait we chose to make and in the way it needed to be made.  It is not your run-of-the-mill finesse worm and unfortunately it's original, organic design comes with some added machine time and tooling.  If you would like to see it up close and personal please let me know and I'll see what I can do about getting some in your hands.  There is one stipulation...  photos of any fish caught using one of these sample baits must be posted in this thread for future reference.

Thanks,
Jerry

Only on your orders Bugpac -  only on your orders.

Im just curious. Im about to buy some stuff. And certainly dont want to pay 40 percent more when I want to add to it..

Are all these pics of one bait mold or are some of the 4.5 Inch and some the 6.0 Inch?
It is an interesting looking bait.  There is a lot going on with it.

The group shot is a pic of the 6" version and the single baits shown are of the 4.5" model. The mold pic is also the 4.5" version.

I'll put you down in the "not purchasing this particular mold" slot.  Thanks for your input.

Tough crowd!

Nice bait.  If I fished Shakey or similar, I'd be on that like Stink On Scent.

[grayth]

I think it's a killer looking bait

dropshot this one, catch fish 

[kipbass]

It's a nice looking bait, but I had to hook myself up to the AED. Sticker Shock $$$$

Maybe if all the negatories here would have come to the get-together they'd have seen just why molds cost what they do.

[Jerry V]

This is one design, a single option in a large variety of molds currently in design stages.  There is a ton of new stuff on the horizon, many of which are aimed at making this a more cost effective process.  The exacting specifications of El Gasuno may not lend itself to being one of those cost effective molds. 

We understand that there are other finesse worm molds on the market with a smaller price tag.  That is not why, or how, this mold was designed.  It was designed to be a very effective tool for finesse presentations and that is exactly what it is and does.  Our formula for pricing molds is the same as it was from day 1.  Better designs are more complicated to run and require more machine time.  If it leads to a better bait that catches more fish, than we are "OK" with the price of that mold being a little more expensive than that of a competitor.   "Apples to Oranges" is what my Grandpa would say.

We have plenty of other new designs on the board that will be coming in the next few weeks.  Designs that will likely be more affordable, yet exciting, effective and easy to use.  Not every mold is for everyone.  We appreciate everyone's feedback, and are looking forward to the weeks ahead.  Be looking for more new designs and products coming soon. 

Thank you,

Jerry
