Super User Big Bait Fishing Posted September 11, 2015 Super User Posted September 11, 2015 just checking out their website and they have ridiculous (cheap ! ) prices and the finished lures have pretty good paint job/finishes on them , i know they are not name brand baits , but for the price , they look pretty good !! also their lure blanks look good too !! pretty good selection of both . i mean for $1.50-$2.00 a lure , seems like i might put in an order , says free shipping !!! here's a sample of one of their twitch baits i like , price - $2.50 !!!

Ringonu Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Their lipless cranks are junk. Swim on their side. At least the ones I bought did. Squarebills look good but haven't tested them. Wakebaits are awesome. No clue on the lure you linked to. Quote

Ringonu Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 I'm talking their little 2 inch baits with the small lip. I have a posting somewhere out there that shows some painted up. The one below is it. Quote

I have a posting somewhere out there that shows some painted up. The one below is it. i was looking at those too , i don't paint lures , but am interested in the finished ones , almost all of them sell for around $1-2 each , even if there are some duds in the bunch , if i buy 10 or so i'm sure it will be a good buy , thanks for commenting !! them having a lot of blanks is why i posted in this section (tackle making ) so others might be interested ..

Ringonu Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 No problem. I just use rattle can spray paint. Easy enough. I'm not sure what kind of hooks and rings they use but I can imagine they are on the lower end. Let us know how their finished lures work. Quote
BobP Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 I build crankbaits for a hobby and occasionally buy knockoffs to paint too. Of the many suppliers I've tried, two stand out for higher quality plastic blanks: Predator Bass and Bustin' Bass. Maybe you have to pay a dollar more per bait. But that's way better than paying a dollar less, going to all the trouble to paint a bait, and then finding that it is utterly useless the first time you fish with it. Plastic blanks are not all created equal! Many are made in China by factories that have no idea whatsoever about how to make a bait that runs correctly and catches fish. Just because they look like an expensive commercial bait they were copied from, it doesn't mean they have the internal structure and weighting system of the original, or that the mold was straight and accurate. On the cheaper KO's you often see lots of sanding on the seam to get the mismatched halves of the bait to match each other; gaps in the joints that leak water into the bait; stuck ballast balls that are supposed to move; etc, etc. If they don't run right and won't catch fish, how much are they worth? LESS THAN NOTHING. Quote
