Slow Town Custom Lures Bait Saver Weights

Tired of tearing up expensive urchin-style baits every time you rig up? Our Slow Town Bait Saver Weights are designed specifically to work with Bass Gags and other soft-bodied urchin baits without cutting, ripping, or damaging the plastic.

Instead of screwing directly into the bait, simply rig your hook through the built-in wire loop and secure it with the included keeper. This unique design locks the weight firmly in place while protecting the bait from the damage commonly caused by traditional screw-lock weights.

The streamlined profile maintains a natural presentation, improves casting distance, and allows your bait to perform exactly as intended. By eliminating unnecessary stress on the plastic, you'll get more fish per bait and spend less time re-rigging.

Features:

Designed specifically for Bass Gags and other urchin-style baits

Rig your hook through the wire loop for a secure connection

Keeper system locks the weight in place

Prevents tearing and premature bait failure

Extends the life of your soft plastics

Maintains natural bait action and presentation

Available in multiple sizes for varying depths and conditions

Built Right So They Bite™

Fish longer, catch more, and get the most out of every bait with the Slow Town Custom Lures Bait Saver Weight.

Just picked up 8 new powder paint colors and some black nickel bladed jig blades. I’ve got some good ideas in the works!

Sometimes it’s not just another bait. Sometimes it’s the bait that changes the whole day.

We received this message from Joseph Hall and honestly… this is what Slow Town Custom Lures is all about.

Joseph stepped back into coaching this year after taking a break since 2023. After being a boat captain for 6 years, he was ready to slow down — but when the school’s head coach quit, the program was on the verge of shutting down. Instead of letting that happen, he stepped up for the kids and took over the team.

Last weekend was Regionals on the Illinois River — a tough stretch of water with heavy barge traffic, changing water levels, and a reputation for being a tough fishery.
10 schools.
20 boats.
Only the Top 6 teams move on.

By 10 AM, Zach and Drew only had 2 fish in the boat. Things were slowing down fast. Joseph said it best:
“If we don’t get 5, we might as well have none.”

That’s when Drew looked over and asked:
“What do you think about a jig?”

Joseph handed him one of our Slow Town jigs.

The rest is history.

The boys limited out in less than 30 minutes… then culled SEVEN more fish by weigh-in.
When it was all said and done:

🏆 1st Place
🎣 11.84 Pounds
➡️ Advanced to Sectionals

And according to Joseph… they absolutely blew the field away.

Stories like this mean more to us than any sale ever could. Seeing young anglers succeed, build confidence, and make memories with baits we build by hand right here at Slow Town Custom Lures is what keeps us going.

Congratulations to Zach, Drew, and Coach Joseph Hall on an incredible win.
Now go make some noise at Sectionals boys!
