Thanks. I'd be happy to send you a couple 2 color creature freatures  :smt003.
I'm working on a octopus bait, I'm almost ready to mold. I designed it so you can fish it alone or with a small swim bait. I'll post a pict once I pour it.

Heck yeah, let's do a swap! I'm working on a octopus too. I am trying a flat pattern  for pouring and then putting it together when cooled a bit (the hood that is). The pattern below is what i have come up with for the hood. I plan on 2 tentacles at each tip, equaling 8 when the seams come together.  I want a hollow head for ease of rigging.

Hey Grim,

How's the pouring going? PM me your address and I'll send ya a few.

Finally got around to pouring these...

- Custom Swim bait Wanted a swim bait with a extended belly and thicker tail. Tired of loosing tails to small rc.

- Swim bait/ curly tail Always liked the idea so I made one with a cool tail. Looks bad ass going through the water. This is going to be a killer bait.

- Puss lure I designed this so I can stack on as many arms as you want in combination with a sb or grub. Also if one of the tails gets bit off just add a new one.

All these baits were designed to fit the jig heads I have perfectly. I can't wait to test these out!

Mike, those baits look awesome!

Great job on the swim bait/curly tail...I've always wondered what those will look like in the water.

Thanks for scratching my curiosity!

Back in the day Papa Bill used to make a curly tail with a swim bait body.  They worked well.
