772, heres what ive been ponderin'
Posted by , Wed May-11-05 06:21 PM
I'm curious as to the fake(reaction innovations) sweetbeavers i see on ebay ,fakes/copies,how do you think they compare to the originals? do the regular beavers have a flat side as do the handpours on ebay? One think i do like about the ebay baits is the fact they are made locally using good colors that work hereand,they are cheaper.but are there cons to these baits? I just wanted to throw this out there and see what you all think.

I know a couple of the guys that pour and sale beavers on ebay. The originals do not have a flat side. I guess it all depends on your confidence and how you fish them. If you're flipping, who cares? If you're fishing them in open water, I think the advantage goes to the handpours. The flat side helps give it that gliding motion.

These are the guys that take pride in their pours.

Brian,
I think not too sure that I am selling more than anyone else 30 galons of them per month 20 beavers per cup of plastic you figure it out. I have had soooo many re-orders compliments and fish on them myself, I love them. I can tell you they are just as good as the original BUT not for fishing weightless some guys like to do this hand pours suck for this. But when you put a weight on them it is all the same, you will be lucky to get 2 fish on a org beaver but on a handpour you will get 2-4 fish per bait. If you want a duel color pour buy them from bass8baits not that is4367 (pourboyplastics) guy his pours are not very good and they have cold joints between the colors. If you look at mine my most popular colors are SPING CRAW and RIVER BOTTOM CREATURE my favorite is west coast roadkill w/ holo gold flake and black. Here is my color chart from my site (In the works) http://www.freewebs.com/tmcustoms/standardcolorchart.htm I dont care who you buy them from on ebay but Me (deltadominator) ghostbaits and bass8bats (I dont know about willsplastics have not seen them)? are the only people pouring them clean they rest of the people are below par.

Tight Lines and Good Luck on the handpours

PS like woodsac said the handpours are better for flipping a slower fall and if your going through mats they dont come off the hook.

Here is a 6.8lb on a jig tipped w/ a beaver at clear lake

Brian,
Steer clear of those they come from a CRAP mold! If your looking for any in a single color I will give them to you @ 7.00 per 20. If you want duel colors go w/ bass8baits.
