#6505, "3D Generic, or other swimbaits"
|
Im looking to find an effective swimbait, that is readily available, and that can be slow rolled in 15-20 foot of water. Ive been eyeing the 3D generic, in the 6.75 and 7.5 inch models. I know nothing about this bait, anybody have any reviews or other feedback? Some of you know Jerry, so you may be able to provide insight into their long-term availabilty. At this time, they dont seem to be overly available.
I am also looking at the Optimums probably the 8 inch model. These are the swimbaits I cut my teeth on and have lots of confidence in them. LA sliders look intrigueing, but not big enough.
I cant stand the Stocker, Osprey (they dont go deep enough), Storms, Castaics, or the Basstrix (or whatever the one with the wavy underside is called).

The Hudds are readily available from ebay,its just going to cost you more than retail.The 3;16 I have will sink that deep but you have to wait a few minutes for it to get down there.The slider is too small for me too,otherwise they would be sweet baits. tight lines, brian

Jerry effectively fishes his baits that deep, but he spends a lot of time trolling them. But if he can troll them, I'm sure you can slow roll them. I just don't know how long it would take them to get down there?

No offense dude, but that's just supply and demand in a free market. There's nothing dishonest or unethical about re-selling a product for more than you paid for it. It's called capitalism.
What annoys me is I can't get the prices I need for my baits because guys are too used to paying $4.95 for a crankbait. It takes me 1 to 3 hours just to finish a single crank.
Would you want to make $1.50 an hour for a lure you made with your own hands??? I don't. I'd rather just give 'em to my friends. The good karma is worth a lot more.
In a perfect world, handmade crankbaits costing $30 and swimbaits costing $100 would be the norm. And guys would be happy to get them at all.
Chris

I know you mentioned you dont like the basstrix baits,but would you be interested in this one ,which is sililar but not from basstrix,its from trophy technologies i think ,i have 2 of them one is 8" the other 12 the 12 is a huge bait , the biggest in my box for sure.they have a rattle imbedded in the tail and they weigh enough to get you to any depth.this bait in the pic has the hook on top wereas i have treble hooks on the bottom.If interested email m eand i will send you more pics that are too big for this mesage board.
