Thread: Paddletails, twister tails, and Stingers

Here are some baits shot using the tail mold along with a couple examples of the tail used on a full bait.

I traded some horse heads and pony's and the small ones were for putting in split rings. Hard to use this size on pan fish even cutting them down. Like to 2-tone them but crappiefarmer said he'd had to get some piece to add to the mold to do them.

I don't know what he needed. I didn't need a thing. And those length-wise two colors can be hand-poured in one side and injected to fill the mold. Nothing needed whatever.

I fish the shorties under a float on a 1/32 head cast on a #8 sickle and the work beautifully.

Don't know anything about plastics but can only tell you what he told me:

Everyone else has a 5/8 injection port while Ricks are tapered from 5/8 down to 1/4. If not for the tapered hole, I could use my dual injector on the mold and do top bottom shots and 3 colored baits. The good news is that Bob (snake river) made an adapter that he said he could use on any Jacobs mold.

You guys have a pic of all the different baits you make??? I've stayed away from plastics it's easier and cheaper to buy from you guys!!!

"have a pic of all the different baits you make"....per Fatman

I don't keep a log or record. I don't sell much anymore so I don't worry about keeping track. Most all of what I have done is in a photo bucket account and they are free for the looking at that site.

Those 3" worms you show in the bags are a great cold weather/cold water walleye bait up this way. I do have a bait shop that likes to stock a couple hundred of them in a few colors. Other than that I keep the stuff close to home.
