It's real hard finding any XL sized rat baits for sale other than those north of $200, so I got to work making my own. Yes, this is obviously based on the only 6"+ rat bait that I know of, and no I didnt make this to sell, but for personal use only... *looks around for cease and desist order*

It took about 3 hours or so other than a little testing and then waiting for everything to dry. Just thought Id share and I hope other folks will give it a go.

Also managed to solo shoot a video of it in action. Had a three and a 4 pull off of the laid down tree to follow it. The even came up and made a swipe at it.

That bait is going to catch you a monster, no doubt about it!!! Really nice work!!!!

Wow! I want one! Reminds me of the jointed Rapalas. Cool craftsmanship.

Great work, man! Looks identical to a Nezumma! But saved yourself $200+

Did you use a senko as the tail?

I hope he is okay, it is strange when seems someone completely drops of the face of the earth...

The person that I contacted also said he hasn't talked to him in a long time either. He lost his number like I did. He was getting married around the time he went AWOL. Strange...

He is probably fine, maybe moved?

No, that doesn't sound strange to me at all   

 

In any case, I hope you friend shows up- sounds like maybe he needs his old fishing buddies to get him back into the swing of things!
