i have used the sweet beaver baits by reaction inovations and like them, i have been paying 4.70 something for 10, 5 packs for 25$ tax and all, the hand poured might be a little better, but for what i use them for (flippin) i don't think it would make a bunch of difference, if you order the hand poured and like them let us know, years ago i bought 500 crawfish from a guy that hand-poured, i caught a few fish and was not all that impressed, then a few years later i went to pickwick lake and found out that the smallies loved the little hand poured baits, i haven't seen any since and i have been out for a few years now[&o], anyway let us know if they are better than the reactions ino. baits
