Bass Labs

I really appreciate the feedback thank you. I also really like your idea of rotating fish hangers. I just did some research and theres not many companies that offer that with there product. I also wanted to ask what a affordable price would be to enter compared to some of the bigger brands? I was thinking $20-$30 would give it a cheaper price point for a quality lure. The tails are removable and each lure would come with an extra tale.

Here is a prototype of my design! I will likely go with a different color scheme since this doesn't look like a super common baitfish. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for the business suggestions! I've done quite a bit of research & now that you've mentioned phantom income specifically i'll do more on that. I appreciate any advice I can get as I have minimal prior experience with running a business.

I agree I think people mainly want to see fish on them. I bought a GoPro so I can get some underwater footage of the lures. Thanks for the feedback! Thank you for the feedback Tom. The reason I chose glide baits is because they are more of a recent lure and not popular in most states. Im hoping that because it is unsaturated I can make a dent myself through a unique design, especially if i can show they catch fish in other states. I'm going to start off with a baby bluegill and a gizzard shad like you mentioned because they are popular baitfish.

Hey everyone, I’m new to the forum and wanted to introduce myself. My name’s Caleb, and I’m a bass fisherman from California. I’ve always loved tinkering with lures and trying to figure out what makes those big bass bite, so I’m starting a small glide lure business. The plan is to focus on glide baits to start—6.2 inch, slow-gliding swimbaits that seem to get the giants interested. I’m in the early stages, just waiting on some samples to test out, and I figured this would be a great place to get some advice from experienced fishermen who know their stuff. I know glide baits are one thing that has the potential of getting big bass, but I also know they can be tricky to get right. I’m curious—what do you all look for in a good glide bait? What sizes, colors, or actions work best for you? Any glide baits from certain brands that really stand above the others? I've done quite a bit of fishing with the 6th sense glide and caught quite a few on it, but want to make my version higher quality, and not stick to one side like I've noticed that one do regularly. I’m aiming to make mine a bit different with some unique colors and a focus on durability, since I know that’s a pain point for some anglers. Anyway, I’d really appreciate any advice or feedback you’ve got. Looking forward to learning from this community and hopefully sharing some of my own catches with my samples down the road! Thanks,
