Ribbed Paddle Tail Swim Bait Molds ?

[ChrisD46]

Curious if such a thing exists that are similar to a Keitech , Rage Swimmer , etc. ?

Yes I have one that came from a shop in Wichita.  I think it was called a ripper.  I believe it is a Do-It product.

Best one made but not cheap.

The Do-It rippers have a good thump to 'em. I just recieved my Swing Impact Fat molds from Bug Molds in Ukraine last week. Took about 6 weeks but they're still getting stuff out. Nice molds. I got the 3.8 and 4.8.

The Ripper is from Do-It & comes in 3" & 3.5" varieties i believe. I run the 3" CNC ones, the ES versions (I have 2) are cheaper but have a dull finish (not that the fish care). Great little swimbait that I have caught TONS of large & smallmouth on.

Amazon has a couple of Keitech clone molds. Price is good and 2 day delivery for PRIME members

LPO has a couple different sizes of a bait that is really close to the Keitech if not exact. They are expensive but if you want to make your own Swing Impact Fat this is the route to go.  6921-45 LureCraft 3.8" KT Swim Bait Alum Injection Molds (lurepartsonline.com)

Add Fat Guys Fishing to the fold, they have a min 3 week lead time....but I've had good luck with their molds.

Hard to go wrong with any of these options.

I'm a big Do-It fan myself. Those ES molds are a great bang for the buck.
Also a huge fan of Angling AI molds, although I don't think they have a Ripper-esque bait in their mold lineup (unfortunately).

BTS 603 and 607 are the best way to go.
