New Trolling Plastic. Your Opinion.

[DrBee]

Here is a new lure I made that I am considering to commercially produce. I’m using old plastic in the test phase. The plastic form shad bodies works better than BA plastic. It's more ridgid. The mold is made of Plaster of Paris. The pattern is a split pattern. Take two pieces of wood and glue them together with a piece of paper in the middle. This allows the pattern to be easily split down the middle. The split pattern is used to make the mold cavity. One half of the mold is in the cope and the other half in the drag. The mold, when assembled if forms a cavity exactly like the pattern. I drilled a large hole for pouring material. The slim-fin part I had cut in the mold. I test it late last year during trolling season and they seem to work well. What do you think?

Eminent Brother,
Looking into my chrystal ball, I'd say the market favors jig heads over plastics. So, I'd advise you to stick with jig heads for now. The more people fish the Rips, the more jig heads they will need [grin]

[john pearce]

what a better way to test them than to have the TF brotherhood test them for you.[smile]

What sizes and can they be used to jig the CBBT. Good color and Action = FISH

Dr Bee,

I think they would work great on a stinger hook trailing a big parachute!! [grin]

What kind of trolling rig (bucktails, umbrella teasers,?) were you thinking of?
