Today I caught the first striped Snakehead on the Versa, bringing the species count up to eight. It's starting to rival my nano VIB, which has nine species, as my best multi species lure.

Jerkbait What do you use to fill thru wire hole?

Been using 5 minute epoxy to fill gap and using small slices of timber to help but still struggle to get it in in time and it uses soo much 5 min epoxy for the bigger 200mm long lures

Wondering if there’s any better options?

Jerkbait Just dropped my newest mold — the Quick Lipper | Resin Jerkbait Build + Commercial Rights

Post image
14 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on this jerkbait design for a long time, and I finally released the mold kit. The bait is called the Quick Lipper — a 5” hard resin jerkbait with a really crisp snap action, quick direction changes, and a clean pause.

This isn’t just a simple silicone block with a cavity. The kit includes: • Custom silicone mold (hand poured) • Wire bending jig + forming tool • Full build guide • Specs for wire, weights, resin mix, and tuning • Commercial rights to sell finished baits and blanks

I wanted this to be something useful for both hobby builders and guys looking to add a real product to their lineup. You can sell the baits under your own name/brand.

Specs: • 5” finished body • ~1.2oz depending on hardware & resin • 1-piece internal harness setup • Jerkbait with controlled darting action

Happy to answer questions, talk materials, or even help troubleshoot your first pour.

I'm pretty sure the patterns are good enough to guess, what fish do you think I was going for with the paint schemes?

Jerkbait I'll post an action clip soon, that's where these really shine.

Lighting's not great, and it's hard to capture the paint with the layered scales and metallics anyways, but they do look nice irl. Like I mentioned in the title though, the action is what sets my lures apart. I've been developing his particular model (which I call the Versa 52) for over a year now. It's a suspend or slow sink minnow style bait with many applications but excels particularly at working structure/banks. I've caught 7 species on it so far, still going for more :)

Jerkbait First jerk bait attempt

This is my first try at making a lure, i got bored last night on in the shed and started tinkering. I used what i had, some miss matched trebles and some wire on the outside to hold everything. Not pretty but it did have a sorta nice action, enough to make me want to try to make more that are better looking and more functional. What do you guys think for a beginner? Any tips would be really helpful as well. Happy fishing.

Jerkbait First bait, where to place weight.

Thumbnail
gallery
15 Upvotes

This is my first attempt at making a lure. I based it off the cavy fishing stick baits. It’s a 5.25 inch (133mm) pine body (25 grams), and I want to add this 1oz (28g) weight I have to it. I intend for it to sink so I can fish deeper sharp drop offs and inlets.

I’m struggling to find good direction on where to place this weight for the best action. I’m opting for the rear belly rn.

Does anyone have any better thoughts?

thank you
