At Fringe we've come to find out that there are some very creative anglers among us, to a certain degree some anglers have the "gift of color" and don't know it, here's your chance to see if you have the gift.  Hand pouring allows us to place color and create illusion.

Starting Friday the 17th and the following three consecutive Fridays at 6:00 PM we will begin to accept pms for the "Make Your Bait".  We will take the first two received and close.
The premise: PM us up to 4 colors you would like to see incorporated into a bait configuration we currently have molds to produce, those being 8" straight tail finesse worm, 10" Power Worm and 5" stick up to 3 colors, this may include 5" through line swimbaits at a later date.  
Once we've worked our magic we will post pics here as soon as they are completed usually around an hour.  One restriction, no swirl affects I leave those to the machines.  The originators identity will not be disclosed unless they choose it, however Fringe does retain the right to reproduce the bait for resale at a discount to LSB members.  

As an introduction we will produce the bait for the participants in their choice of configuration in a quantity of 10 and ship via USPS small flat rate box at no charge no later than the following Monday, barring any production schedule conflicts.

Make Your Bait has yielded several great color schemes and for us is a challenge that we enjoy and gives people the opportunity to make physical what their minds create and then use their creation.  Some examples are pictured on Fringe's face book page.  Looking forward to Friday.

I got a couple of rush pours that came in today so my schedule is getting a little crowded for Friday evening.  If anyone was thinking about contacting me Friday evening if you want to go ahead and PM me tomorrow evening Thursday I'd appreciate it.  I'll still post pics of them Friday evening, this will give me a little more time to fit them in between set ups.
Thanks,
Jeff

For a sneak peak at Bait #2 pics are posted on Fringe's facebook page in the Tilapia album.

They'll be posted here later this evening.  You guessed it I'm technologically challenged.

I've made a lot of worms and have my favorites, this one just moved into the top 5, it stinks of big fish.

I'm taking requests for colors early today so if anyone wants to see something in particular let me know.

We are also going to move the make your bait from Friday to Monday, this way participants can get their bait in time to use the following weekend.
