    They look great!

    I have considered modifying molds to have double retainers like that, but wondered if it would cause really soft baits to split when they are put on. I had thought maybe they should be staggered?

    Yeah I don't believe wire keeper would play nice with a soft plastic. I use a hard blend plastic so my plastics are tough.

    I have used BG baby shad plastics with wire retainers. They work pretty well but will end up tearing (or at least pulling off slightly) after a number of fish.

    That is why I modified some of my molds to make the screw lock style. It takes longer to get the bait on the jig, but it doesn’t tear or get pulled off!

    DrNip, what, no pink, lol. What if you only put on one wire, and not let it stick up as much? Isn't that why things are tested, to see what works.

    Dr. Nip what is the correct name for the blade eyelets and where can I find them?
    Going to try and modify some molds to accept an eyelet and want to get supplies.
