My Buddy Scored Big With A Bait I Made Him
« on: 03/10/14 15:10 UTC »
I fish some of the best private lakes in Alabama and every year the owners son put on a high dollar bass tournament with only 10 boats in it. I made this 4.75" swim bait for a friend and Friday he caught big fish with it ($2000) and Sat he finished second in the 2 day tournament with it which paid $3690.
He still hasn't showed me any love yet  :o
 
I poured the bait as follows
4oz plastic
15 drops of Blue Crawfish color (not X2)
A little pearl blue highlights
1/8oz Lime Green glitter .40
1/8oz Red glitter .15

If the wings are traveling faster than the fuselage, it's probably a helicopter - and unsafe.

You're welcome to it, I only sell or give away my baits local. I suffer from bad PTSD from Nam and I need to keep my mind busy so I pour baits, build custom rods and make buzz baits. I don't make any money at it but it keeps my mind from going places it don't belong! :o

Really a good looking bait, Hawk.  No wonder it won some big bucks.

It's the Caney Creek regular color, not the X2

I'm not a bass fisherman but I do know AL rigs were not allowed but he had a swim bait hook that had a willow leaf blade attached to the belly of the hook, I don't know who makes it or what it's called. If you need me to I can find out.

Hawk that's a very nice color. Believe I'll have to pour up some using that color.
