Has anyone tried the Thump Grub on a drop shot? 

[Shane]

This bait looks very similar to a trick worm, am I right?

[rickhorror]

well the worm looks good but I can quicky point out 2 worms on the market with MORE CAVITYS for HALF THE PRICE and they are nearly Identical or in the same ball park. If it costs you this much to make one mold perhaps you should find a way to cut costs or get them manufactured elsewhere the price is not reasonable no matter what the excuse is.. this that and the other Ill buy my bait mold  somewhere else . most people are hobbyists not selling baits to people and to charge 129 for a 3 cavity 6" mold is retarded !!!!!! there are far better more complex double the cavity molds for much much cheaper so the fact that your claiming this to be like the ultimate design for the price is nonsense in fact I bet it costs less to make this mold, maybe you paid someone to design it but the cost for this mold would not cost more to machine then any other 6 " worm, you guys act like no one else knows about cnc  so your excuses will be accepted .. NOT. excuses are not acceptable when they are BS. Stop trying to make bait hobbying into an elitist hobby where only rich people can afford it. you guys finally get a great mold and the price is insane. even if it had 6 cavitys its still the most expensive 6" worm on the market! period !besides production molds! think about that. I dont even need a response I know it will be more pointless excuses . typical response from someone selling something. Most expensive 6" worm with the least amount of cavities . congratulations .  lol ps ive never made a complaint to a bait company before but the prices are getting out of control you can buy an injector for less !

You are on the wrong forum...with your attitude you should go be a  troll on TackleUnderground...you'll fit right in.

If you don't like the mold...don't buy it.

 Hey Horror,

What rock did you crawl out from under?  I haven't seen your name around any of the other forums, yet you come across as having posted before. I am really curious who you are and where you're from. For whatever reason, it looks like you decided not to give us any hints as to your identity.  So, what is the intent behind your angry post. Is it because Do-It is charging too much for that particular mold? Have you ever seen the baits it produces? If you ever seen or touched the mold? Did you purchase the mold? Why are you so angry?  I wonder why you have taken it upon yourself, an unknown, to make such a public display of purported anger and outrage.  Could there be an alternative motive? I think so. Why don't you just crawl back under that rock? Go away.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, welcome to the forum.

Wow

[Do-It Corp.]

Rick,

Welcome to our forum.

No excuses, it is an expensive mold.  It was a thought out decision on our part that is paying off.  I am not going to try to argue our rational here, but I am always willing to have a discussion over the phone.  I will give you that invitation like I have before.  Please call me at 319-984-6055 and we can discuss the specifics of this mold or anything else you might have on your mind.

We are committed to the design and production of cnc molds and have recently invested in equipment to more than double our production.  There be will several new items available shortly at a variety of price points.

Do-it has always made it a priority to provide quality products at a cost effective price for the tackle maker and will continue to emphasize that in the future.

I've had my days (well known secret), but I can and will say, I've seen some FINE People and Service come from the guys at Do-It.  No wonder they're at the top.

Ha! Too Funny!

  I've fished for years with the Berkley Power Shaky Worm. My buddy and I would have the bottom of the boat full of those worms after a full day of fishing. I know we would go through 20 packs a year. I think I was one of the first to buy the 6 inch El Gusano mold. It's now the only six inch straight worm I use on a shaky head. It has the round head for the screw and the flat on the tail for the action. Now we take our old worms and melt them down to make new ones. My math says we already have our money back. Besides in the fishing world my boat was $60,000 my line for 1000 yards is $107 my truck was $42,000. Ya get my point. I'm not on a budget if I want the best.

[sarcazmo]

I'll side with rick and say the price does seem a little high.

In my cart at home, I have the glade grub and ribbon tail worm saved, once I get my next paycheck I'll probably purchase them and some colorants.

However, after purchasing similar molds and having a custom mold designed for me, I'm not quite sure why this particular mold is so pricey.  No doubt it looks great, I'm sure it shots great, I just can't justify the cost for a 3 cavity mold.

Not trying to troll, and I do like do-it products, just stating my opinion.

[Jerry V]

I'll bring this back from page two for anyone who may not have been around here long enough to follow the entire thread from the beginning.

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

Incidentally: I caught a hand full of Smallies from 12-17 inches using El Gusano 4.5" on a small, local stream just this weekend.  I was wading so the phone / camera stayed in the vehicle.
