There-has been a few post where this has been posted.

After talking to Don he confirmed his gal that poured his soft plastics has retired.

The Splash-It’s will still be available.

If you want Don’s finesse worms, Reapers, trailers now is the time they will not be around very long.

WRB , what are some of the stand out baits and how do you like to fish them ?

Don’s soft plastics are hand pours, have a flat bottom, very soft and float. This makes his worms and reapers perfect for split shot, drop shot and shaking/doodling.

4 1/2” fat boy and 4” & 6” spade tail, 3” &4” reapers are my favorites. The 2 1/2” Craw is a good finesse jig trailer.

Colors; worms Blue Ghost, Purple Phantom, Smallmouth Killer, Honey Comb and Lightning shad all work.

Tom

Yeah when you put me in touch with him there a bit ago he said that.  So I picked up about $300 worth of plastics. Really like the rhythm and blues color too.

You beat me to that one. Good call!

For anybody looking to stock up before these are gone forever Tackle warehouse has a good supply and they are marked down about 25%.

In 2020 one of my lakes just shut down , very little fish activity, even thou you could see the giant marks on the humminbird. I started throwing the  6" Cow  Tougue and it turned out to be the secret bait. Something about it was driving them to strike it when other plastics wouldn't get touched. I think I'll pick up a few more packs since TW has them on closeout, seems like the end of something special.

Just ordered some reapers, spade tails and paddle tail grubs. I've been meaning to get some forever but just never did.

I was about to say I'd be picking some more up to add to my collection during TW's next sale. Apparently that's now!

Definitely unfortunate news, big fan of the fat boy and straight tails. Upton's are becoming harder to get now as well it seems. Sad to see this happen to some of my favorite hand pours

Glad I grabbed a few you reccomended before they discontinued, you taught me the splitshot rig and they work really well for thay like you said.

Hello Tom, My name is Brad, and I'm the son of Dons said "gal"... It's true she has stopped pouring after 30 plus years, I happen to have the LAST of the entire stock of worms poured by her...They are the last that remain, I also have ALL the molds she used for every worm Don ever had poured for him over those 30 years. I stumbled on your post, and wanted to reach out to you and the community and let you know it is true she has stopped pouring for Don...

Thanks for the update @Brad Bullard
