I have a few different sizes which I use depending on the wind, current ect. The lures weight between 10 to 15 ounces depending on the amount of lead used in them. The bait is naturally heavier than a normal rubber bait such as a bulldawg or bondy bait. This is because it is made of a high strength urethane which holds up a lot longer than a normal rubber bait. The side effect of the urethane is that it will not absorb standard rubber paint. The only paint I am aware of is a flexible spray paint, so the paint jobs will not be extravagant as an airbrush but will still look pretty good.

Since the shad is a very thin fish the bait has a lot more action on the fall. The problem I found was originally it was too light and the bait moved around too much. I had to find the correct weight to keep it vertical and still keep some action on the drop. It definetly keeps it vertical with the heavier weight.

Production mold complete. Here are the first shots(the blue dots come off on the first shot only which was the white bait). Should hopefully be producing the first production run over the next few weeks.

I'm currently going through color choices. What is everyone's preferred color(not just between these two but any color)?
The next two jigs I am planning on making will be sucker or perch and white bass clones.
Let me know your thoughts.

Here is my first attempt at a paint job.
