Since this thread is being revived, I wanted to share an assumption that I had dispelled recently...
I had assumed the tube style baits were injection molded, as I know that’s how gitzits are made. I also have had very little luck with Gitzits in trying alternatives ( wanted something in the 3 to 4 ounce range that did not cost 20 bucks)
I assumed there was some sort of injection mold they had manufactured specifically for this bait... would explain why they’re so damn expensive.
Nah...
This mom on BD makes them by the dozen and they’re *dead* simple.
