My spinner fishing in Florida.

[QPassage]

Last week in Florida this became my go to bait. Fishing wasn't the greatest but still managed a few bass. As always the big boy got away.







I paid dearly for this mold a few months ago. But it is far superior than any other I own. The hidden body swims perfectly straight. No dipping or nose down on retrieval. And never once did it swim sideways. It was almost as much fun watching this bait work as it was bring in the fish it caught.

Good job! Sounds like a great trip! What is the mold?

 

[QPassage]

It's a Collins Mold.

I've poured with that mold & been trying to get on on a barter for years from a guy who never uses his.

Nice baits

It's an expensive mold for sure. I love the magnetic sleeves that hold the wire and hook in place. If you need a few let me know I always have extras laying around. I make up 25 to 30 of these a week. It will spoil you tossing that bait compared to a reg spinner. Nothing like a bait running perfectly straight in the water and not leaning to a side.

Can't argue with success...
Nice outing - great report

What does that look like?

I've been eyeing that mold. I may have to buy a few unfinished ones from you if that's ok? I'd like to check them out.

Thx QP - I poured about a 100 of them on Gamakatsu & Daiichi hooks. That should hold me over for a while.

I like to use the SPRO swivels - that's what's cost prohibitive for me and limits my production.

Can't tell you other than the report from the person who pours my stuff. I tie/make lots and lots of baits on a yearly basis and work a full time 50 hour work week on average. So I buy the molds and send them to him to pour.
From what he has told me the mold itself has a magnet built in and when the hook and wire are laid in it holds it in place. Collins makes a far superior mold than any other, and he has several that I intend to get soon. Right after the bank approves my jig mold loan . Most of his molds start at $150 and up.
