About Customization
Learn how each customization option works so you can design the perfect bait for your fishing style.
Plastic Formula
Here at Diesel Baits LLC, we rely on Premium White Label and Black Label plastisol for its unmatched quality. White Label naturally floats and Black label naturally sinks. Our baits are shot in durometers between Drop shot and Craw formulas
Laminates
Laminates are shooting two colors into a single bait, typically in a top color/bottom color scheme. Not all molds can be shot effectively with two colors, it depends on the design of the mold. Some molds have Laminate plates, such as the Wasdamata Shad, Debug 4" and Da Beaver. The plate allows us to shoot one side at a time and produce a true laminate. Without the use of the plate there will be some blending but that typically produces a much more natural look, such as with the Super D Craw.
Color Shifts
We use color shift pigments From Dead on Plastix. These are powerful pigments that have very pronounced effects, especially on clear or translucent baits
Plastic Type
Choose between a naturally floating plastic and a naturally sinking plastic. This allows you to tailor your bait to the specific situation. For example, you may want to fish our King D on a C-Rig. In that situation, you desire high buoyancy. Maybe you want to fish the King D around grass mats and need it to slowly sink in the gaps? In that situation you may want to consider a sinking plastic and consider adding salt.
Minimum Qty
The reason there is a minimum quantity for custom orders is we must create your unique formula with your selected options to produce the bait you desire. The minimum order does NOT have to apply to a singular bait type, the plastic is what you are purchasing. So, if for example you create a custom order for 2 packs of Da Shimmys, you can in turn order 2 packs of Ol'Faitfuls and one pack of Diddlers and your 5 pack minimum is met. Just specify that in the "additional information" section on the customization page.
SALT
Salt added to baits has a host of effects. Primarily, it adds weight and density and small amount of "flavor" is released when a fish bites into a heavily salted bait. The downside of salt is durability. The more salt you have filled into a bait, the less room for plastic molecules to bond and the less durable that bait will become. Our standard Salt ratio when added is One TBSP per cup. Heavy salt is 2 TBSP per cup and Extreme Salt is 3 TBSP per cup
SCENT
All baits come scented unless requested otherwise with a presentation corresponding scent
BAIT FUEL
Bait Fuel is a pheromone based attractant that is not a scent. We believe in the efficacy of the product and use it ourselves. We can add it to your baits as well for a small fee.
