233, Half Live Trout Posted by , Tue Oct-28-03 09:40 PM
Hey Guys,
Thanks for all your input on my new "Live Trout". About 2/12 years ago I built some open mouth DeadStick hardbaits. These baits were featured in In-Fisherman and Crazy Bass (in Japan) magazines. I have since built a new model that has taken me about 2 1/2 months of carving, sanding and molding. This is a hard model of a rubber trout I'm going to build. I shooting for mid November. As with my 3D bait from last year some of you guys will get to fish these baits before me. I'm keeping a 16 hours per day schedule to try to make these baits available as soon as possible. In the near future I will make myself available to answer any of your questions about my baits. This is the Generic DeadStick, I hope you guys like it. Thanks. Jerry Rago.

That is amazing!!!!!!! Jerry are you sure that isn't a trout that is petrified? :-) That thing is a work of art and then some! I think I could look at that for a couple of days straight and my jaw would still be on the floor!!!
C/R the trophies!

I cant explain how awsome that looks! I have got to get a couple of those but I am going to ask 2 quesions:
(1)Where does the line go in and out of the bait and (2) how do the bait move its body(it looks like theres a bend in the middle where it moves
later, Dan

I'm not positive but I believe that the trout there is just a mold for a rubber trout he will make.I don't think the one pictured is the exact bait,it has no hinges or pivot point from what I can see. The actual bait will be all rubber and flexable.Again,I'm not positive though,just my take on what he said in the post and my sometimes very wrong perspective.
Overall a very realistic looking lure and one I would love to have in my collection.

What up Jerry, bait looks SWEEET, like always, you do a bang up job. See ya at BASS-A-THON. We just got back into our home on Monday after evacuating on Sunday, alot of ash clean up, just got power back in the shop late last night sometime.

phishnuts, you are right. The bait in the picture is not the production bait. The real bait will be rubber and molded from the wooden one shown in the pic.

PHishstiks, I believe Jerry showed me the actual one pictured there around the 26th of OCT. I don't recall the DeadStick being a flex bait. I've seen the Original prototype in wood, and I think this one is indeed going to be molded. Whatever the final product, you can bet it will have the signature Rago Bait final finish that is the hallmark of a Rago Bait.
Hang on, when it happens you guys are going to be blown away, the poor guy doesn't have enough hours in the day right now.

That looks like a trophy to be put on the coffee table or wall! Are you sure you want to risk using it for a mold? I wish my taxidermist did that good of a job. Tight lines, Wade
