dc1 Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 I was recently in the French River area of Ontario fishing for Bass. We had a great trip and enjoyed the fishing very much. During our trip I met a gentleman who was staying at the same camp and on the last day he was there he left a Soft Plastic Bass Bait on the side of my boat. He talked how it was the best top water slop bait available. It was a soft plastic bait in the shape of a Rat of Mouse that needed to be rigged with your own hookpprobably a 5/0 Hook. It was similar to the type of bait af say a Horny Toad only in the shape of the rat. I have searched throughout the internet to try and find out what or whaer this bait could be had, but after two weeks no luck. I thought I would ask the bass fishinf community as I am sure someone out there knows what the name or manufacture of this bait is. Your help would be appreciated. Thanks Dave Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted July 21, 2012 Global Moderator Posted July 21, 2012 Looks like a custom poured bait to me. Quote
dc1 Posted July 21, 2012 Author Posted July 21, 2012 The gentleman told me the manufacturer but I cannot remember. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted July 22, 2012 Global Moderator Posted July 22, 2012 Must be a local company. You might try a Google search for bait companies based out of that area. Quote

BenoBreath Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 It looks like a top water mouse made by ZETABAIT, out of Foley, Alabama. No longer in business . They also made the Ding a Ling worm and the Flapping' Dad crayfish. Great Baits!! Sometimes you can find them on EBay. Hope this helps... Quote

dc1 Posted August 4, 2012 Author Posted August 4, 2012 I have tried calling the number above with no success, I have looked them up and tried another couple of numbers but no success. I am wondering if they are still in business and if so how to get a hold of them. Anyone know?? Thanks Dave Quote
tennsopher Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Fry,the phone number I gave you came from a pack of gillraker worms that I bought a year or so ago.I have since thrown away the shipping box they came in.Here are some other phone numbers to try.205-943-1902,251-943-1902,904-731-9012 .If these all fail,look up Donnie Paul in Foley ,Alabama white pages he is the guy whom bought the company.I hope this helps you out.
