Saltwater top pour designs
Posted: Sun Feb 05, 2017 10:54 am
Have a season of striper fishing under my belt here on cape cod.
Designing a squid. decided to keep the tentacles tight and inline so they don't fan too bad on the cast and slow the bait down shortening the cast.
decided to design something with a bulky body, will be an easy pour, and has an uncanny swimming squid look and feel. for use with a 10/0-12/0 Swimbait hook with like 3/4oz of weight.Want to test it unweighted too. squid is a bulky 7". doing my best to taper and form the body so it swims well unweighted too.
here's what i came up with. still have several hours of sanding and fine work ahead of me before molding.

next up i have a 10" eel , sluggo type bait. trying to keep it slim, bulky in the head for rigging, and a decent taper and shape so i can work it weightless or rigged with a 10/0 weighted swimbait hook.
