"Salty Grey Ball Of Death" Hahaha. You had me cracking up with that one. It blows my mind that those Japanese baits work but you can't argue with results. Thanks for another great build my friend.
Yes sir! Wasn’t my day, but I do hear they hhhhhwack-em!
This is a great DIY video and will save a bunch of money considering most of these JDM companies charge roughly $20 for only 4 of those tiny baits. I also wanted to say, I think they are mostly fished on a drop shot, so you wouldn't need to worry about salt or weight. Just let the drop shot weight get it to the bottom and leave the beautiful color shift alone in the 242 plastic.
Tight Lines brother!!!
Thanks man! Drop Shot.... interesting. I can see that now that you say it... that definitely opens up some possibilities. Crazy how pricey they are!
Nice video
I saw a picture of a cube bait and had a idea
I used the floating blend plastic "White label" to make frogs '
I mixed up a home brew Bull Frog green color
I poured flat strips of plastic 1/2" thick and cut it up into 1" wide and 3" long pieces
The "Front " I rounded
Close to the back end I put 12 strands of silicone through it side to side
I rig it weightless with a 4/0 worm hook
I cast it up against the cattails and slowly work it out
Sounds like a great concept! I hope they worked well for ya!
Really a cool looking bait! Great job! That wind is definitely not good for fishing it. Looking forward to seeing you smash some with it. Thanks for sharing this buddy!
Thanks David! It was an interesting day to be sure! Sheesh!
It was an interesting day, to be sure! Glad you liked the bait!
Can make them for a lot cheaper than what they are charging! Nice!
Yes indeed! Pricy little boogers for sure!
Well done, your bait wizardry was on full display with this one. Very interesting concept for a bait. I have not seen one. Like you said, docks should be good. I would think lilies and standing tree stumps also. Keep us informed on your next trip with those. Be blessed. My friend.
It was a fun experiment! Thanks for coming along again!
The hook up tackle Ben and Griff loves them dice. They catch a lot of fish on them they are in Arizona the hook up tackle check them at first, it’s a tackle shop too you can buy lures reels everything your heart desire
Sweet! Thx man!
Bluline Baits checking in and I completely agree....NO SALT...YUCK...
Great video as always Adam!!!
I’m with ya!! Thx man!
I see you love a good challenge. I think those slant eyed Bass are crazy to bite such a horrendous looking bait. 😂
Best I can figure their curiosity gets the better of em! Who knows!
Dude! Dig the crap outta those!! 😎 Awesomely som’n different!
Salty, gray ball of death… 🤣
Salt was indeed the bane of my existence on this one! Glad you liked it!
Another banger of a video 🔥🔥 thank you!! I’ve been wanting to try something for catfish bait. I’ve been curious about the catfish bait mold that Epic makes, this one looks like it could work as well! Tons of possibilities!
Sounds awesome man! Glad you enjoyed the ride!
now thats a bait i gotta try making, maybe even a smaller verson for a drop shot bait using hair in place of the rubber or some crystal flash. you are going to cause me to go broke LOL
Sounds good! I've heard they work well on a drop shot!
SDG.....been hood-winkled and bought some of these several months ago. Like most fishing lures, they are designed to catch fisherman rather then fish. I made a form and poured a few up and didn't do well on them. I also made sone out using a piece of thick oversized zinkos which did about as well. The biggest negative to these science fiction baits is the price. 30 bucks for 5 of these dice....no thanks....I will stick to my finnesse worms!
@@alexrawleigh3167 can’t argue with ya there! Even without the wind, not sure it was something I couldn’t do without LOL!
You could probably cut these from old pucks of plastic as a way to recycle leftover material. Interesting lure!
Most definitely! Ages ago a guy asked me for just that to make his own. A square runner would also work, just cube em up!
I've been wanting to use unflavored Fish Gelatin Powder to make my own "Furry Dice", but I'm way too busy experimenting with my crazy swimbait ideas to even try the originals out. Having played with it a couple of years ago, I noticed It can be made to be as hard or soft as you want depending on the amount of water you use. It can have anywhere from a rubbery to gummy gel like texture, and it's also heavier than water. It's originally intended as a nutritional collagen supplement and is made out of 100% Tilapia. I use it to add an amino acid boost to my Bait Fuel and other scents. It's fairly odorless and smells like Bait Fuel too. Id' love to see someone try it. I think it can be a real game changer, considering how expensive the originals are.
Love your content, and it was good to see you in the Bass After Dark chat (took a while for me to recognize you, if that was you. Sounded like you anyway, lol) I think you are brilliant and your kids are very lucky to have you as a father.
Not exactly sure if it's me or just how things cycle, but I'm noticing some really skilled bait makers lately. Like, a next level skillset class of DIY bait makers. you are one of them. I'm predicting a bait making version of the Googan Squad in the near future, but of course not as prolific due to the Custom/DIY bait making niche. Whoever is going to be in it, they're going to need a founder and captain like Rob Terkla is to the "squad". I have a hunch that you could be "that guy" if you were to ever consider it.
Have you seen N2TW'S channel yet? That youngster is gifted!
Anyway, sorry about the long comment. Just thought I'd stir things up! (as usual)
Tight Lines!
Love the feedback and kind words! Not sure what Bass After Dark is, so it must not have been me - sounds like a dandy of a guy though LOL! I do know (and am subscribed to) N2TW, good guy! And yeah, plenty of other talented bait makers out there! I'm glad to be in the mix and know some of them personally. Appreciate the comment, thx again!
@@SDGCustomLurecraft 😁👍
Good looking bait Adam
Thx John! Definitely different!
My favorite discontinued Hales crawworm color is light root beer color with extra fine green flakes and medium copper flakes. I think there's something special about that color. Just saying.
Sounds fantastic!
Loved this video! Oh I hate using salt too!! It changes the plastic color sooo much! And getting the consistency vs fall rate is so tricky. Have you used Barlow’s Glass Sandblast Beads yet? They say it’s a great alternative. Thanks for the videos and laughs! I watch for the artistic experimentation, my boyfriend watches for new techniques
That’s awesome to hear - super cool that you can both enjoy the channel for different reason - love that!
I have not tried the Barlows product you mentioned, sounds like it may have some potential!
Keep enough original color shift to dip a skin coat on the salted baits 👍🏻
Definitely an option! 👍👍
Having that lure in smaller size and attached as a tail to a worm and using it as shakey head.
Heck yeah, would be awesome!
Crazy looking! But I like it! Guess octopus imitation?
Who knows what its supposed to imitate - my guess its just supposed to get em curious enough to bite it, LOL!
Another great one. Keep them coming 🎉
Thanks Paul, glad you enjoyed it!
Musky Dime grapes that sparkle.
A musky on one would be crazy!
We are making it all up as we go, love it 😂😂😂👍
Shootin' from the hip, yes indeed!
Great video Adam. Have a Blessed Sunday.
Thanks Gary! Appreciate that!
Oh the wind in my area has been bad!
It was on another level that day... yeesh! And of course... calm as glass in the days to follow! DOH!
Thanks Adam
Sure thing! Thx for watching!
Moral of the story...salt is pointless 😂
You get an AMEN from the corner of this choir!
By the way SDG....the only way I got bit using these was using it on a drop shot rig.
@@alexrawleigh3167 yup, I’ve heard that’s the key!
Adam. I absolutely love this Video. Where did you get the tool to pull the strips through the bait ball?
Thanks Scott, glad you enjoyed it! I got that tool so long ago I honestly can’t remember. I looked for it in a couple sites, even googled it, but couldn’t find the same one. I think a “bait needle” would do the same thing, a quick google search for that will yield you a couple places to find them. Hope this helps!
@@SDGCustomLurecraft Thanks Adam. Keep doing what your doing I really enjoy your Content 👊🏻
@@scottlefave6205 thx man! I do appreciate the encouragement!
If you want the salt ball to shine dunk it in clear plastic.
Yup, that would work! I was more bummed that we lost the shiftiness of the pigment - Hangman is too cool to cover up!
Had a brain fart .. lay a fiber window screen on one side of the mold mark the center per cavity poke a slit with an xacto pinch a split shot per cavity( like candy dots on paper ) lay it back into the mold inject The screen would slow down the plastic taring and keep the weight in place
Sounds like it has potential!
@@SDGCustomLurecraft A while back me and a buddy were talking about a guy/company that used strips of screen down the center of his senko molds for wacky rigs
Nice
Can't leave us hanging. Can they catch a fish?
I hear they do! Word is, maybe a drop shot presentation vs a "wacky ball" slow fall - be interesting to try it that way instead!
@@SDGCustomLurecraft I have the dice with and without salt. I actually used a little split shot weight above my hook for some weight. Sounds crazy but literally the first cast I ever threw I caught a decent LM bass. I use them periodically when nothing else is working. I will now use the "Egg..." concept and check it out. Where would I buy the threader and the rubber please?
And oh, I use the dice wacky style only. The ds seems like a good idea though.
@@woodlawnful you can find a Bait Needle on Amazon that would work (not sure about the exact tool, I found it years ago). Round rubber you can find at Barlows Tackle!
Glass beads. You're welcome
Niiiiice. Bet those would be good, yup!!
No Salt 🚫🧂🚫 please …. I can see that working 👍. But Only question I have where’s the hook 🪝??
Yup, I'll pass on the salt as well! Hook is right on top, wackly-style!
I won't ever use salt hate it
Right there with ya!
Add more rubber for slower decent from my experimenting!
Just seeing this... CZcams hid the comment for some reason. Anyway, thanks for watching! More rubber strands would definitely slow it down, yup!
