I believe I own the first of these molds that Josh made. I LOVE this bait. Using the Angling AI 3.75" skirt, you can make a better bait that GYB. Why? Because you've got better color selection. I made some godawful bubblegum pink ones for spawn fishing... and they crushed them. I also made some green pumpkin and watermelon ones using a chartreuse or orange skirt. The orange skirt kills them pre- spawn and both are killer for post-spawn. When making these, I typically use Dead-On Black in the swimbait blend for durability. The skirts I make with no salt, and the body I use 1 Tablespoon of salt and 2 Tablespoons of Do-It HD Sinking additive per two cups of Dead-On Black. I fuse them together using a hot knife. Getting them straight takes a little practice, but if they're not perfectly straight the fish don't care. I rig these reverse-wacky through the tail and crush the bass on any situation that you might fish a wacky stick bait on.
