You want to know what I love the most about bait making? It’s getting to design and create amazing colors like this one for customers! John asked me for a green pumpkin/orange laminate in our Slender Shad, but he wanted me to put my own spin on the flake colors. What do you think, will it catch? #customorders #custombaits #baitmaking #baitmaker #softplastics #swimbaits #goviral

I know we are teasing these softy’s a whole lot and it may seem like we’re taking forever… but I can explain! We traditionally release baits and do our best to keep them in stock, but with our growing following that’s tough (amazing problems to have, thank you ♥️)! With the softy we are really buckling down the production side of this bait, with the release we hope to keep these baits in stock and if not, restock them quite regularly. This may take a bit longer for us to iron out this production plan but I promise you it will be worth it!! This bait has been at the forefront of our efforts for over a year, working on it everyday. And it’s going to be just as badass as you guys hope! Stay tuned and as always thanks for your patience 🙌🏻‼️👊🏻
