Anyone Ever Have Custom Colored Plastics Made

[basslover12345]

Anyone? I'm thinking of having a few made in these colors:

Color#1 : Dark Blue base, yellow flake, orange flake, green flake, red flake, blue flake

Color #2: Bright orange base, Orange flake, Dark green flake, Blue flake, purple flake

Making your own or having someone special build them?

We looked into this many years ago, and I might have to do a little digging to see if I still have the manufacturer's information. Suffice it to say, it is an expensive option as most companies are going to require you to purchase an entire run of product. You have to remember that besides the material, they have to setup the run and clean up molds/machines after the run. On bait shop I shop at frequently used to have special order colors made for Kalin's grubs. If I remember, the owner said his minimum order was in the thousands.

You might be better off to look in the "Tackle Making" section to see if any other member might make you a smaller order. Or, you might want to consider making your own. These same members can steer you to companies that will get you setup with everything you'd need to make them.

Send an email to one of the numerous smaller companies that do hand pours. I've had it done several times for me. Anywhere from a package of baits, up to a whole bunch of them. I personally have used Dichoso custom baits, but there are plenty of others out there.

I've done custom orders with X-Zone, Ghost Baits and Bass Magnet. All three produced excellent product for me. I had them do a mustard colour with black,gold,green fleck. Killer when they're on the perch!!

I can vouch for Romeo Dichoso...he's made a number of baits for me and they've all been very well done.

I have several different custom colors poured each year. The best guy that I've found is a guy by the name of Lee Hillman. He can do any color you want and his plastic is great quality. You can find him on facebook under Nasty Baits. He is also the only tournament angler that I know of who has the BR logo in his boat wrap.

Anyone have any advice or things I should be aware of?

What are you looking for in that color? Grubs,worms,ect? Some of the smaller home made guys may not have the mold of the bait you want. And may make you buy them the mold or order a certain amount of baits to make up for the mold. Smaller custom bait makers don't make a whole lot of money on their baits. It's an expensive hobby to get into so work with them and they'll work with you.

stick baits

Did a company used to make these colors for stick baits, or is this just a color and flake combination you think would work. Usually if the fish are hitting stick baits, they hit whatever color I throw at them.

May be tough to get all those colors in one bait. But theres lots of custom bait makers online that will do there best to make what you want. I have been trying to find a few molds for baits I use the most and will then be able to inject my own baits. Plus pour all that I want that has a flat bottom.

Same here, good guy to deal with. I had him make his 10" Anaconda worm in a Smoke Purple color which is the same mold as the Xcite Maximus to use a power shakey worm. I also had a few other baits made in the Smoke Purple color. Very pleased with his quality and service.

Check out this color I designed that I had custom poured........... Let me know what you think... Trying to imitate a red ear sunfish

[Scorcher214]

That first is actually pretty good lookin!

[Primus]

basslover12345 the baits look good, I'm sure you'll catch 'em.

[basslover12345]

Color should work good but that 4" is too fat and wont have much action. Kinda looks like a cut down 5".
