    Put it under a bobber and work it slower. The nibbles don't put off scent fast enough for a standard retrieve to really draw fish in. Or, rig some of your preferred ned rig baits, or drop shots. After you rig them, then drill a hole and insert your nibbles. Work them slow, give them time to "rest" after every time you retrieve a little and draw some fish in. Be aware though, you'll draw in a lot of little bites from bold panfish that might not be big enough to actually take enough of the bait to get hooked.

    • @grimtasticbaits
      @grimtasticbaits Місяць тому

      Agree. I have used them for years, was just thinking maybe the Swimbait option wasn’t the best for the idea. There is a lead head jig that is meant to do the same thing but I thought plastics would work, too.

      @@grimtasticbaits Plastics will definitely work, it's just a matter of giving time for the scent to disperse. I sometimes stuff a few in a tube when I fish tubes and I have to remind myself to fish a bit slower. I would constantly yank it outside of the scent trail, and when you fish in clear water you can see the fish come up to where the bait was a few seconds earlier, confused that nothing is there and looking for it.

    Not a big fan of the "pull" test you demonstrated as it's just not how the bait is used. I do pretty much agree that the mold is not terribly useful. For someone like me, with nerve damage & limited dexterity, getting that "x" of o-rings on a stickbait for the ideal bait-saving wacky rig is too much hassle. I will just remelt and remake torn baits if I'm having a bad day and can't get the rig perfect and stick the hook on through. For the average person I think they'll just stick to o-rings. For the baitmaker business, I don't see it making sense money-wise. The mold is expensive, it increases the amount of time you're working on the baits, and time = money. For the hobbyist I don't really see any use for it unless you want to change the color of the middle of your worm. Even then, I'd skin-pour or capsule instead. About the only use-case scenario I can see for this is if : 1. You make your own baits and you like your worms SUPER-soft. 2. An O-Ring murdered your father and you've sworn never to use them. 3. Your worms, when super-duper-soft, slide off the hook when you cast them wacky-style and fling themselves into the cosmos. 4. You aren't bothered by spending money on niche items for your bait-making hobby. If all of that can describe a person, then this mold might just be for them. As for me, I'm not huge on super-soft worms in my wacky rig. Heck, I mostly use baits specifically made for wacky rigging that aren't stick-baits.

    I get if you are selling baits to the average angler you may want to claim that your baits are more durable. To anyone who really wants to have a better hook to land ratio. Don't know why anyone would even use an o-ring. All these methods reduce hooking %. Why are Yamamoto Senko's so popular? They are soft. When I set the hook I want the plastic to disappear. And that is why I make my own. If you are selling baits. The amount you would have to increase the price to offset the time and investment involved would not make it more palatable to the consumer. I agree with you

  • @mikefletcher1080

    • @grimtasticbaits
      @grimtasticbaits 2 місяці тому

      True, which is why some of the silicone rings have a nub at the top where you can hook it either way. Another case is the hook is fully exposed on a ring as where only half the hook it out and already buried in the worm with the old school rigging.

    @robertcates2549 2 місяці тому

    I on 2 other UA-cam videos stated I was disappointed. I don't throw the wacky rig, I don't like the wacky rig. Just as I don't dropshot. The gentleman in the video couldn't understand my point. I was disappointed because of all the things for a great company to make, this was it. Better more realistic craw mold, better lizard molds and different size molds more cavities of an already great mold. I didn't see the reason behind this. The only thing I could see is if a person was selling that bait, it could be used to make the bait look different to other makers baits. I like the other channel and the videos on that channel, the hand pouring work is outstanding, but I see no reason for this. Mann's baits did this type of thing some years ago, the Hard Nose baits. It went nowhere, was going to change fishing, save money. Where are they at today? Not sold and I believe for the most part the company is out of business.
