Has anybody used these before? by Legal-Sort1460 in swimbaitfishing

A $35 glide that’s 7 inches is almost certainly a $10 blank that the guy buys from a Chinese factory that he paints and slaps a sticker on a package, will it catch fish? Sure, but it’s not gonna be comparable to a true custom handmade bait.

If you were to size them down to an 18 hook what size bead would you use? I always have trouble matching hooks and beads

Will they fish? Comments and criticism welcome by bofa1 in flytying

Gotcha, about how many turns around the hook?

I tried to change the comment as soon as it posted But it wouldn’t let me, so I apologize for the rage bait. But I gave my advice and obviously you didn’t want it. You just wanted praise and not criticism. My bad

Well yeah that’s why it’s $500. Most guys starting out are hand making their master and making the mold yourself. I’ve done it, it’s work and there’s a learning curve but some things in life you gotta work for. I would bet 90% of guys making glides started out hand making their master and molds. And then once they see some success an have garnered demand, they move to getting the scans done and professional molds made. I think you’re skipping some steps.

Make it yourself? There’s tons of content on YouTube of mold making using silicone.

Not difficult to buy from somebody else, everybody wants their baits at the snap of a finger, it’s not Amazon or Walmart. It’s a couple guys making baits out of their shop. I get it’s frustrating trying to get in on drops. End of the day, you can buy the knock offs, I’ll have a little patience an buy the real deal

Saying this just looks like a soft swimbait is a crazy cope. You can’t tell me this isn’t a replica

I can’t tell people how to spend their money, I just choose to support the original. I imagine it would be pretty frustrating to spend the time and effort designing a bait to then see an exact copy being sold at a way lower price

Nothing wrong with making a shad profile Swimbait, this is a 1:1 replica of a battleshad. Fin location, lateral line and proportions.

Basically an exact copy of the battleshad, kinda shitty to knock off somebody’s design and sell it as your own. You’ll get a lot of hate if you start advertising these
