Here I have pic of the pin tool, also if you take the pin out to clean you need to wrap the pin tool with scotch tape an the ends of the pin stick out about two Millimeter to keep the pin from sliding down past the threaded washer here are pic not in order, you will get the idea Gino

Sounds like you got a bad batch. Contact your supplier and see if they'll replace them.

Kim mentioned to me a year or two ago that they were looking at getting a couple machines and getting into that side of it. Looking at the mold descriptions they have under their section, it looks like they may have bought some of Del's programs.

I have often thought of splitting the bait the other way...horizontally instead of a vertical plane. That way you could have the strength of a harder wood and have a light weight top half for extra vertical stability when swimming and thereby reduce roll. I haven't tried it though. It is difficult to sand something soft next to something hard and come out evenly.

Take a piece of balsa and cut it to the correct thickness that you will need (you will have to experiment). Then glue the two pieces of hardwood on each side and shape your lure. Or if you need more bouancy, glue a piece of balsa on each side of the hardwood and shape it. You will end up with either a balsa core or a hardwood core. This was Coley's idea. Guess he wouldn't mind me sharing it. Anything he came up with worked. Skeeter
