loodkop Posted November 13, 2011 Posted November 13, 2011 I need a small (1/2 inch) curlytail grub mold, in aluminium for use with a hand injector. None of the internet suppliers I know about currently stock one so I would probably have to have it custom made. Does anyone know who will be able to make this? Quote
mr.mallard Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 do you realize how small a half inch is? are you catchig minnows? Quote
loodkop Posted November 14, 2011 Author Posted November 14, 2011 We do a sport called Artlure in South Africa. In short points is based on the number of different species you are able to catch in competition. This means that on the same day I might use a jig with a 10/0 hook to catch catfish and tiny piece of plastic on a size 30 hook with 1lb fluoro to catch guppies. We use the small grubs for various smaller species. Quote

Super User Jig Man Posted November 14, 2011 Super User Posted November 14, 2011 The smallest I know of is the 20 cavity 1" at Bear's for $129. http://www.bearsbaits.com/1-Curl-Tail-Grub-_p_235.html Quote
loodkop Posted December 1, 2011 Author Posted December 1, 2011 Thanks for the advice received. Rick at Jacobs made me a mold. I have tried to attach a couple of different species showing the range we need to catch. The catfish weighed over 15# while the minnow was a large specimen. The tilapia is what I need the grubs for. Thanks again. Chris Quote
