If you could make your own bait 2025

bassheel reply :

If you could tell any bait company to make your bait what and who would it be? Mine would be bluegill pattern jointed shad rap, black(not smoke) with purple flake senko,and a 1/2 oz. aruku lipless. What about you guys?

basscrusher reply :

A Zoom old monster bigger than 10.5 inches.

Bass Junkie reply :

I'd tell you, but I'd have to kill you.....LOL. No seriously, the ideas I have for baits I wanna keep for my own personal use, and a few select people.

Thefishy1 reply :

Well mines already been made, they just need to make it cheaper because if I could afford it this would be all I would ever throw.

black(not smoke) with purple flake senko,

There are plenty of guys on this forum who pour there own plastics, I'm sure you can find someone who could pour that, its fairly simple.

As for me I've already have drawn plans for many baits and am in the process of making them

Munkin reply :

Solid black Berkley chigger craw.

RC 1.5 chrome, dark gray back and MS scales.

I would be happy if they brought back a lot of the discontinued baits myself.

ib_of_the_damned reply :

A weedless soft plastic lipless crankbait with an embedded EWG hook like the huddlestons. I think I would have more confidence throwing one of those because of the fact that it will not hang up. I have no problem sharing this because I hope someone will make one as I do not know the first thing about making baits.

a topwater frog that dives when pulled and the legs push out like a real frog

Steve_IA reply :

Mine is actually a tool... stainless steel needle nose pliars with replaceable cutting blades suitable for braid snipping and a grooved diamond dust hook file built into the outside of one jaw (at < 20.00 cost).

very nice! how do you rig this? what size hook? noticed the weights were centered. that is awesome!

Thefishy1 reply :

I pull the weights out and texas rig it, or for fishing deep just rig it on a football head cast to a rockpile and hold on.

good deal. its a great looking realistic bait for sure... btw sorry about your baseball team. that last game was a great game. i was pulling for you guys

btw, do you rig it backwards (the way the craws normally run) or do you rig it forward with the eye of the hook facing out of the face?

Thefishy1 reply :

Yea, it was a great game, we were all really pumped because baseball is one of our strongest sports here but there is always next year I guess.

I dont have a pic of how I rig it but it looks just like the one on the left in the pic. The middle one is a dead crawfish and the two outside ones are the fake ones.

Fishes in trees reply :

I wish 3/4 ounce dropshot weights were readily available.

lightsout reply :

A jointed rapala minnow in the x rap patterns and not the standard offerings with the 1/2'' wide seam running down the middle

Siebert Outdoors reply :

I already have. ;D

Just use regular old bell sinkers. Nothing special required for bubba shotting.

I am trying to think how this would work? The main problem I can see is the hook point and line tie would be to close to work. Let me look at some lipless baits and see if it is possible.

Maybe instead of an EWG it could be a weighted Kahle hook or weighted octopus/circle hook. I see what you are saying with the line tie. It needs to be on the top, not the front. Thats why I'm thinking Kahle or Circle type hook.

Big Bait Fishing reply :

i would take the space monkey and rage toad and make them 3 times larger than they are ready are !!!!

roadwarrior reply :

Rage Tail soft plastics are better than any

"custom made". I also feel the same about

several GYCB products.

I was thinking maybe these could be modified in some way?

This is king of what you are looking for but with the hook coming out the back.

riverat reply :

There are seveal discontinued baits I would like to have made. They include:

7 1/2 Fliptail Worm and the Fliptail Flirt (grub)

Bagley's BB2 and BB3 as they were made in the early 70's

Baby Gator Tail Worm (5 1/2"). The Zoom G-Tail is an exact copy of the 7/ 1/2" Gator Tail. I always seemed to do better on the Baby Gator Tail.

wisconsin heat reply :
