The post about the swimbaits just prompted me to post this...I only have a few swimbaits...8inch and 4inch castaic sinking trout and some megabait charlies...and I dont really have a swimbait rod...so I only use my 8-20lb ugly stick...I like the castaics but right now they are too heavy for me to cast with my current equipment...so on every outing I just bring my megabait charlies...
Anyone of you have any success with "Charlie"?...it has an awkward wobble...I wonder if it attracts fish or if it scares them...havent caught anything on it yet...I am also gonna start pouring my own swimbaits too...trying to make one that is lighter...has anyone poured their own swimbaits with success? I had designed a prototype a while ago(more like 3 or 4yrs ago lol)...just havent made a mold out of it....I was also wondering how can one start selling their own hand poured swimbaits?(dont worry I wont copy the ones already on the market...I am more afraid of people copying my designs hahaha)...how do you protect your design?...I mean I dont have a lot of money and I was thinking its gonna cost a fortune just to have it patented right?
any tips?
