its terrible!

I made my own out of 6 inch Z man stick baits. I use the fattest part of the bait disgarding the rest and get three out of each stick bait. I chose the Z man because it’s elastic. Almost every time the bait goes up on your line and you don’t lose it when catching a fish. It’s easy to thread jig skirting through it. You have to add a small weight. I have used it one time to test and I caught 10 to 12 fish including a couple 3 to 4 pounders which is decent size for our area. I use them in a tournament today on a very pressured small lake and got second on that pond by .16 of a pound… 14:29 three or four of the fish that made it to scales came on the hairy rubber is what I call it. Lol. I think it’s just something they haven’t seen. It falls pretty slow. Almost every bite came on the initial fall.

I have tried to post to this video several times. I think it may be because I have tried to link to one of my social media accounts where I posted pictures and a full explanation of how I made my baits. I made my own version of this lure in an ultra lite size by cutting 3" stick baits into 1.75 inch sections and threading old rubber skirt pieces from some old spinner baits through the plastic. I did this mostly because I couldn't get bedding bluegill to hit anything. It worked very well for me. 2nd cast I was into fish and I caught the biggest bass I've ever hooked in this particular pond. 4.5 - 5 pounder. Of course it hit the one day this year I didn't bring a scale. It's been my highest producing bait in this pond for the past 2 weeks.

Looks better than a dice in my opinion & way way way cheaper! More natural being a round body instead of a cube. I made a few with different sized worms including sencos, trick worms for different sizes. I'm not willing to pay that much for a dice bait exspecialy when you can make something that looks more natural. I'm sure they catch fish. So do a lot of baits.. Also he does ton of underwater footage that's excellent in showing bass relationship to habitat!!!

I make these also. 3/4" square. I'm also working on a smaller cube for crappie. The problem with the OSP dice is that they don't put enough skirting in the cube. When you put more skirting in the cube, you can almost cut a profile from the skirts. Or, you can make a puff cube. The price they charge for these things is ridiculous. I have several cube molds. 1 cup of plastic to 1/4 salt. I take my time and thread the jig skirting thru the cube. They do work, but there is a time and place.

Taken from takle warehouse website "Built with a non-salt construction that allows it to fall slowly through the water column, the Saikoro "Dice" Rubber Soft Bait is ideal for targeting shallow bed fish with weightless rigging but is also highly effective when rigged on a Carolina rig or drop shot. For the best results, rig the OSP Saikoro "Dice" Rubber Non-Salt Soft Bait on a small drop shot or wacky hook with no sinker, let it fall into the bass’s line of sight, and when you have their attention twitch the lure to get them to react!" Im pretty sure i fished it as a weightless rigging. Ill challenge anyone to a $10K fish off against the dice!
