Jason and Dan have been fishing together for about 30 years now. My father,Tony Bieniek taught us everything we needed to know about fresh water fishing including how to make our own worms. He was one of the best bass fishermen in the state of Florida in the late 70's and early 80's. He was in the top six of the Florida BASS Federation many years in a row, placed top angler of the year many times in the Happy Hookers local bass club, and also qualified to fish in B.A.S.S. tournaments around the country. He got me involved in fishing tournament's when I was a just a kid and we usually placed in the top ten - fifteen with the occasional win. In 2005 my father passed away and I lost my passion for bass fishing and started Sword fishing. Over the past few years I had my share of catches up to 350+ pounds but Jason continued to fish in bass tournaments and asked if I was ready to come back to the Glades and start fishing tournaments, I agreed and he started getting me back in tournament condition. It was tough, I had forgotten how much effort and hard work is involved in bass fishing.
Our first tournament was at Holiday Park, The water was high and the temperature near freezing which made for a tough day of fishing. I could not even catch a cold and Jason caught all the fish. When we were done I collected the worms to melt down to make some fresh MW's like we have been doing for the past 30 years. Well I think we had a total of 2 cups of material once it melted down and we poured out the MW's which should have made about 15 of the 11.5 inch worms to my surprise we only poured out about 10 baits. In the bottom of the pot the was about 1/2 cup of salt and the worms were super soft and could not be used. What a bummer, but it does explain why I used two bags of worms without getting a bite. They just do not make them like they used to. We decided to look for raw materials and start making the baits from scratch. One night over a few JD's and cokes the idea came up to make a small business out of it and JD's Custom Baits was born! Well enough about us lets tell you about the product.
We use a saltwater grade of soft plastic that has great flexibility with enough strength to fish the heaviest vegetation you dare without tearing up the bait until you catch a fish or two. There is no salt as a filler so you get a quality pure soft plastic. We do add your choice of color, glitter, and our special blend of scent. The scent is cooked into the baits so they are ready to use without getting your hands oily from what other manufactures have added to them to keep there baits from sticking together in the bag. We leave over pours and small defects in the baits, you may choose to pull or cut them off but we like to leave the imperfections and the guys that have field tested our baits do not seem to mind, since it does make the baits look injured; and we all know in nature only the strong survive and the weak get eaten. Even the The MW 11.5 inch worm we modified the back half of the mold to look like it has already been chewed on. Remember, when you could us a worm for more than one fish and once you caught the first one it seemed to work better after the bait was a bit mangled. If not, we did and we added this feature to The MW. We do not carry a large supply of stock baits since the idea of JD's Custom Baits is to produce a bait that you the consumer would not normally find at a store. The style will be of the molds we have available but the colors will be unique to your preference. You can save these worms if your color works and we can melt it down or make a new batch for you whenever the need arises.
We can usually make a normal sized order of baits in a night so there should not be a long wait to get your product. The local guys in South Florida are more than welcome to come to our house and make up your own unique color. We are always happy to have a few beers with our customers.
Thanks Again for trying our Home made hand poured baits
