Cool, they look right. How's the composition? Yamamoto soft?

Yeah they seem fairly soft. I used hardner but I think these require the harder plastisol. I am using the medium. Whatever the difference is lol.

I would say they are going to be close to the yamamato ones in softness, but I know my swimbaits hold up very well with this plastisol so I suspect these will hold up good too.

Yeah those swim baits last! But they still move well....these should be really good for you.

[SFL BassHunter]

Lee the good thing is Matt hates stick baits so much he would never steal them, unless he just simply wants to toss them in the garbage lol.

Thanks guys!

Jim yeah Watermelon Red Flake is correct. My go to color!

He's got yall fooled 

[SFL BassHunter]

Not yet BigWrench. I wish I had a pool lol.

So I will need to wait till tomorrow probably to test them at the lake.

I need to get me a pack of them GY Senkos to compare as well. I haven't bought a pack of those in a bit over a year since they are so expensive.



Lee he probably uses them all the time but pretends like he hates them. I suspect that as well.

LOL a Closet Senko User !

Looks good Rick and I love them GY Senkos 

[f150smith]

Did you add salt so they will sink ?

[Pferox]

Great Baits Rick, might want to look into a little more robust respirator, 3M makes one that works great and is actually pretty comfortable to wear, they cost about 20 bucks and you can get replaceable filters.  That last a long time, I have been using one for a while and glad I invested in one.

[SFL BassHunter]

So I tested my stick baits and they seem to fall at a slightly faster rate than the GY ones but that's not a big deal. Just need to adjust the amount of salt I used.
I haven't used them enough to catch a fish on em yet. Just tested how they look in the water.


Pferox thanks for the info. You happen to know what model number that respirator is? The one I'm using is a 3 pack. I've used them a few times already.  They kind of annoy my on the nose. Even though it's adjustable. I always seem to feel like my nose is pinched closed.

I'm using Amazon to list what is available, not telling you to order there.

There are a couple of different filters that are available, I would think with plastisol you would want the painter's filters (P100 I think it is) with the charcoal in em.  That is what I have now.  Be Careful when ordering because they have a Chinese knock off that is almost exactly the same as the 3M one, and does work, but they are throw away, not reusable.

There is a new one out that looks like Shredder's mask from Ninja Turtles.  I haven't tried it yet, and probably won't for a while, it is supposed to be more comfortable but pricey.

Welcome to the hobby.... you are in for a great feeling when you catch your first bass on your own home made bait...

Hey Doc thanks! I actually have already been pouring my own swimbaits and have caught a good amount of bass on em. In fact I won't even need to buy another swimbait again because I absolutely love the ones I pour. Excellent action and durability!

As far as the stick baits go, still haven't put em to the test real good. Maybe tomorrow!


Pferox thanks for the links bud! yeah those look a lot better than the mask I have and they are real cheap too! I appreciate it!

[ccr425]

Those look really good Rick.

[SFL BassHunter]

Thanks ccr
