I have been making, and giving away baits to youth fishing clubs and kids in general and while I was fishing again today I had an idea. As I was getting ready to leave I watched as another fisherman took a handful of used Senkos out of his boat and tossed them into the trash. If you send my your broken and no longer fishable senko baits I will remelt and remold them into Senko-type baits again and give them away to kids and youth fishing clubs. If you are interested in helping out with this project drop me an email at irv@docirvcustombaits.com or im me. If you know of a fishing youngster or group who could use some of these let me know and if I get enough of a response I will be glad to send them out. As long as it does not get too costly for shipping cost I will be gald to pay for the shipping..

Using those Irvco imitations won't do...

Gotta use the original Irvcos...

Hmmm, I tried to be clear but let me give it another shot. Any brand bait that is like a senko or a senko imitation or senko-type with salt. Thanks.

got it.  i wasnt sure if different brands of plastics didnt melt down well and re-mold properly and thus would be useless to you.

the only stuff that won't melt down right is the 3x stuff by strike king, or I think they call it something else now.  The stuff that stretches and doesn't break.

It pays to be an optimist.  Even if you are wrong, you are happy about it.

I fish, therefore I am.

Actually, I could use any type of used plastic and I will add the salt and softener to it. So if you can help out with this let me know. Thanks
