Rat-L-Trap

[Salty]

I have an opportunity to buy 3" 1/2 oz. floating Rat-L-Traps in bulk. I'm talkin' 500 blanks. Before I commit, are there any of you guys that would be interested in custom-painted Rats @ $4 each? Because of shipping charges, there will be a 5 lure minimum. I can ship 5 as cheap as 1. I will paint them in any pattern you want.....or, try my best to do so. PM me if interested so I can get some idea of numbers.

IMO, floaters give you more options. You can fish 'em really skinny alot easier than a sinker. Same noise.

How deep do they run?

Im interested... How deep they run?? I've heard good things In saltwater with rattles

[Salty]

Depends on the size (weight), rod position and the speed of retreive. I would say about 4' with a 1/2 oz. Trap and a normal retreive. Catching redfish on these things is what got me hooked on saltwater fishing.

I was just at Academy and the rattle traps were $4.09, so sounds like a great deal for some hand painted stuff.

I don't do this for a living. If the time that I spend on these lures was worth anything at all.....my family would be on Welfare. I love creating patterns (some by accident) and seeing the finished product. It's all about offering you guys a quality custom-painted lure at a very reasonable price. If I happen to recoup the money it cost me...that is payment enough. Like my wife says, "Time ain't nothin' to a turtle."


This $4 price includes any tri-color pattern you can dream up. Now, the detailed stuff like the gills, punkinseeds, croaker, trout and threadfin, etc......that's bordering on too much sugar for a dime.

Salty, If you do it, I will take 10 painted like a pogie as best you can. Thinking maybe Black back, pearl body, with chartreuse belly and a big 'ole spot on the tail.

The floating traps can be 'slow rolled' over oysters and shell and a flounder cannot stand them either - and yes, they definitely call in the reds. If they float up too quick, just add a bigger tail hook.

I do gold and silver but they're not metallic. Metallic paints do not shoot very good through an airbrush unless you use a super large tip and needle. Then, you lose it's fine detailing capabilities.
