Big Ray Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 I just ordered my first mold from Basstackle and I am wondering what would be the best injector to buy. I am also wondering if injectors are universal. I don't want to buy one from every company I buy a mold from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgecrusher Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Yes they are all standard. They all have their pros and cons, I have Bears and baitjunkys so thats all I can comment on. Both are good, the baitjunkies is more solid and better build, with a locking tip. But converstly the bears is light and sometimes I find it can be better suited to what I'm pouring, so I use both. The big downside to the bears is the tip pops off, ie isn't locked on, so its very easy to pop the tip off into the hot plastic, obviously over time you learn when its about to happen, but usually it catches me when there is a lump in the cup that gets sucked up and you go to purge the plastic.

MonteSS Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 I prefer a thin wall injector like Do-it and Bears. They heat up fast and keep the plastic hot longer. Downside is the tip can come off, but once you use it a bit it wont happen anymore. Basstackle and Baitjunkys are very well made and have locking tips. I find them heavy and clunky. First two are like a sports car and second two like a luxury sedan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallyc14 Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 I have a 4 oz bear and a bait junkys pro lam 7 oz . The bears is ok but the tip thing is a pia . I have been shooting for a few years and it still gets me! The bait junkies is heavier but is better made and smoother to shot. If it's a 4 oz quickly batch I would use the bears, if shooting more I use the Bjs .If I had to do it over again I would have bought the bait junkys first .

bryanmc Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 I really like the Basstackle injectors. The tip won't come off unless I take it off. Much safer in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Ray Posted August 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 I like the look of the baitjunkys injector. The handle that it comes with sounds pretty good. I don't want to burn my hand so I think I am going to go with that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Ray Posted August 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 So what size would you guys suggest. Should I go ahead and buy the 7oz injector or will the 4oz one be good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archery1 Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 if shooting multiple molds at one time.. go with a larger injector.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you use a wing nut screw, it's easy to remove and reinstall. Just mark the injector and nozzle, so they line up when you reassemble them, and the screw holes will line up.

Big Ray Posted August 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Hey thanks guys I think I am going to get the small one since I am just going to use one mold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Ray Posted August 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 I got my injector from Baitjunkys a few days ago and it is badass. It is the first injector I ever used and it worked perfectly the first time. The other cool thing was that they sent me two lollipops with my order. If anyone wanted to buy a injector I would recommend that one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNC Molds N Stuff Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 I've used a Del's, and own several different injectors, and I made several of my own in larger sizes before Bass Tackle came out with their big 10oz because I had made some molds none of the injectors I had would fill. That being said, they all pretty much work ok, but I would favor Bait Junky's or Bass Tackle over the rest for just plain fit and feel with maybe a tiny smidgeon in favor of Bait Junky's. Yes, even over the ones I made myself. That being said, you probably should have ordered one from Bass Tackle at the same time you ordered your mold to save a couple dollars on shipping.

Big Ray Posted August 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) I agree with u Bob but for some reason the mold I ordered from basstackle and the injector from baitjunkys had free shipping. I just realized I talked to you over the phone a couple days ago. Edited August 31, 2014 by Big Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishon-son Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 I think you should call bass tackle and add there injector to your order..i have 3 large and just think there the best...I haven't used anyone else but I went for the best first....

Big Ray Posted September 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) Yeah fishon I think I will get my next injector from Basstackle. I want to get a laminate injector but the Baitjunkys injector is more exspensive and from what you guys are saying Basstackle makes good injectors.

CNC Molds N Stuff Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 I have a Bass Tackle twinjector and it works just fine. If the plastic is right I sometimes laminate molds with 20+ cavities with it. I am not kidding. Even if I am off a little only the last one or two out of all those cavities gets blurry. That being said if Leo hadn't come out with a laminating system with a handle I was going to make a laminating block with a handle myself. I think the Bait Junky's system with the big handle would be a big plus for ease of use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
