What a day!

Got a few orders completed for the U.F.O.s, and I managed to get some standard colors done to get put up on the website… hang in there, it’s coming.

This may or may not be how yours arrive (referencing the ones in the box). While it will work for the time being, I’m going to be honest here, it’s a pain in the arse! I will find a solution over time but I promise you they will not arrive unfishable. I can only imagine the amount of bandaids that have been purchased since this bait made its debut! 🫣

Oh yeah… we still make crappie baits as well! I had a lot of custom orders for the Galaxy Grub today, the U.F.O.s crappie/panfish sized cousin, we are working our way thru them as fast as possible!

We like to stay busy, so keep it coming! We appreciate all of you! And, there’s another order… back to the Rubber Room!

Ok guys, I’m ready to make an attempt at getting the 3.6” U.F.O. available for sale. My inbox is flooded, which caught me off guard a little due to the number of bait makers producing them. Long post, but please take the time to read.

Packaging will arrive tomorrow. As usual I’m attempting to keep pricing low on the garbage and get you all fishing.

I’m not going to sell the singles, seems pointless and to be honest who wants to over pay for just one. They will be sold in pairs of same colors, 2fers per se.

These will be plastisol, NOT TPE, haters gonna hate… go buy your $15 per each bait, or more, your gonna lose on the first cast just to have stretch (some of those colors tho!) which makes me completely die rolling on the floor laughing and such. This was mentioned due to all the melting and deformation issues… do not throw my baits in with the TPE formulation… your tacklebox WILL become sludge! Move on if you’re gonna tell me all the things I’m doing wrong, other than an adjustment to the plastisol formula to make your experience better, I seriously don’t care.

I will be at a solid $7 per pair, solid color… add $1 for laminates, $.50 for scents. Initially I was thinking $4 each, which would cover my investment, ingredients, and packaging, then $7 for two, but let’s not screw around. I want to fish, you want to fish, let’s get it done. If it wasn’t for the time consuming process involved of the mold and demolding, the packaging (I threw mine in a bag today, not something I would sell you) and larger shipping boxes this is literally a $2 bait. It might be the first time ever I have lowered the price over time on a bait as well. We will see.

I am typically fairly busy making baits. With this being a completely different formula than most, only my 6” and 7” Swimbaits use this formula, there will be a wait, hopefully less than a couple days to ship but orders will definitely be fulfilled on a first come first serve bases, I can’t just shoot it while I’m shooting other baits of the same color. If I’m shooting the U.F.O, or larger swimbaits, in a particular color I will post. In my mind that may speed things up.

It will take me some time to get all colors on the website, there is a process there that keeps things organized and not just willey nilley added because it might “look cool”, and let’s be honest… who wants to scroll through 100 different colors when there are literally only 8-10 you really need. To make things a little easier for those that are interested in messaging me for pre orders. All the colors on the website are available, if you check out the color line in the 2” Gilley, you will have my basic colors to chose from, dual colored bait options are there as well. All proven in my area and over 40 states on crappie, bass, walleye, and more. Message me ONLY then. If you have a custom color or combo, please provide a picture (unless I have made the color for you in the past)… be cautious with this, if someone else is already making this exact bait please don’t ask me to copy them… buy it from them!

I will be in the rubber room tomorrow working on orders, if you have any questions please let me know via messenger, email, or text. I’d love to make you exactly what you have been looking for in this style of bait… or any bait really!

First fish on the U.F.O. has landed!

These were the only two fish I managed to get in the boat. My redneck rigs had a horrible hook up ratio, not the baits fault, completely mine. I’ll do more research on possible rigging.

12 fish grabbed it, six kept it, two were landed. As much pressure as this lake gets I would have been happy with half that many.

As far as the bait goes, I’m completely thrilled with the action and, not being the overpriced TPE material, the durability. It will be in your hands to talk me into changing the formula.

Pre rigged with what I had.

Frog hook, to keep the bait from sliding down and to add a little extra weight, I crimped a 1/8th oz. Split shot just below the bait.

Option 2, Treble Hook with a split ring to a screw lok, screwed in the screw lok and put one of the hooks into the bait. I like this method and I could easily add weight using a drop shot style wight in the treble. But, it also leaves an avenue to lose your bait.

We’ll know soon enough. Less than $.50 for either rig.

Well, it arrived. And, it’s pretty fricken sweet! 😎

I did a lot of research and talked to a lot of fisherman about size, appendages, and strength. I then applied that info into the available molds on the market, this was definitely the right choice. The core isn’t to big, the bait isn’t to small… or too big, for any area. I know the few I spoke with down south would have went larger, but for my area and typical clientele… this is perfect!

I poured a couple in my favorite color, Bloody Motor Oil, to take to the lake tomorrow for some R&D. I’ll have several rigging options with me.

Meet the U.F.O., the unidentified fishing object! 3.6” total width with a 5/8” core. We will come up with some fitting color names as time goes by.
