Borrowed Mold

I found a neighbor who also makes soft plastics and after talking for a good while, I talked him into letting me shoot a mold he had. It's the Jacob's SBST 1.75". Shad body stinger tail mold...Man these things are small...
Here are some I shot last night...Attachment 381795

Looks good to me. Should work good that size.

Thanks Dave. was going to try a multi colored pour/shoot, but they are small, small. Just doing the tail was a bit, but I'm going to stay with it. Checking out some mold companies forums on baits others have done I know it's possible, just need practice and a whole lot of patience...I'll post a pic from my phone of the thickness of this compared to a clear bodied Bic pen...

Here's the comparison

I have one of those molds those little guys catch fish I call that one color you have salt and pepper.

that size bait although tiny should still catch a ton!

I'm hoping so for sure...

Agree, fish catchers for sure and nicely done.

Thank you folks for the kind words and encouragement. Just starting out actually making soft plastics. Bought the crappie carrot mold from Do-it molds, and then this one is borrowed. As soon as I can I have an other mold I want to get, just cant swing it at the moment. Been on the web a lot reading, studying, learning and picking up a lot of info for sure. Some of the mold companies forums have galleries of baits customers have made that are just flat out awesome...maybe one day I might get 1/2 as good as some of them. In the mean time I make what I can make...Thanks again. Eric, AKA jamesdean.

Looks good to me. I think the fish will think so too.

I absolutely love that mold. That lure is awesome in my area. Good job.

Thank you Mike. I guess I need to teach the fish around here it's good to eat...what size jig heads are you using if you don't mind my asking, mike...

They look great to me, make mine black.

Thank you Mr trypman.
