new guy, fat ika question?

[jm529]

hi guys, i'm new here but read alot of posts about the fat ika and see alot of guys that like them. i've been using  them for awhile now and was wondering if anybody made a copy that i could buy by bulk packs? any help would be appreciated...

there are guys who make the fat ika.  I make them, but by no means could I make large quantities.  If you wanted to make them yourself you could make them, del-mart makes a mold.  It requires pouring the body and then attaching the skirt.  If you'd like to buy some from me, go ahead and pm me I could talk prices and quantity.

hi guys, anybody else make these and want to sell them by the 100 packs or know of a place to buy them? i'm suprised with all the knock off senkos, there isn't any of the fat ikas. willing to buy or trade for if anybody wants to make some.

the reason there are not as many knock offs as there are for senkos is that they are much more labor intensive and expensive to pour.  senkos you just pour and done.  aside from getting the right formula it is about as easy as a bait can be to pour.  fat ikas you have to pour and then attach the skirt which takes a lot of time, relatively speaking.  you also have to buy the skirts.  this adds tremendously to the price of these baits and make them not feasible for most small operations.
