WallsOut

Thanks for the info guys.

Anybody know when they release the new molds for 2009? Also what they are going to release. I heard they had a weighted hook mold like you would use for the Basstrix style swimbaits.

Has anybody ever modified their mold for recessed eyes. It seems like if they could be drilled out then rivets could be put in or something. Could a machine shop do that like Shawn Collins or Del or Bob?

Can 25 and 30 be mixed? I have a half bottle of 25 and full bottle of 30. I'm trying to make a couple of molds and I may not have enough of the full bottle to do both can I use the rest of the 25 if its not enough.

Trying to melt tire weights down quicker than my 4lb Hot pot. Will this work: http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10151&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&partNumber=37331&hvarTarget=search&cmCat=SearchResults If not can anyone recommend something for $50 or so that will work.

What is the average price of a custom mold? Just a ballpark figure. Don need the exact dollar amount. I'm not looking for anything fancy. I just want a football head that accepts heavy duty hooks, preferably with two 3/4 oz and two 1 oz cavities. I have the Do-It mold, but it only accepts light wire hooks and they straighten on me all the time. I tried to modify it, but I get too much flash when I pour and it takes too much time to file and trim the excess.

It's refering to Aaron Martens. The CA based pro bass fisherman. Edit: Whoops, me and Woodsac must have been typing at the same time. I think Woodsac hit everything on the nose.

Thanks. I didn't know they sold stuff on this site. I just thought it was a message board.

Sorry I forgot to attach a link to the eyes I was talking about. http://www.barlowstackle.com/acb/showdetl.cfm?&DID=6&Product_ID=2155&CATID=58

Anybody know where to get these 3-d eyes in bigger sizes, like 3/8 or 1/2, for CHEAP? I've seen a couple of local tackle shops that carry small packs of 20 or so in that size for like $3. I don't mind paying $8-9 for 100, but $15 is kinda steep. Thanks for any help Eric

If you don't mind me asking where did you get that bottom grub mold from. That's a pretty cool design. Eric

Your welcome and good luck too. Eric

I got a ton of styles you may be interested in as I fish primarily So Cal Salt, and in any tournament I can get in the LA/OC area. I have a mold to make a 3" AA knock off grub typical Mike Gardner style, a bigger grub, a few different reaper styles, creature styles, and swimbaits (I made molds of 5" fishtraps both styles and 4" big hammer, plus I have a 3" & 4" LC fishtrap molds with the FT's melted out of the tail). Shoot me an email eajohnson1980@yahoo.com maybe we can trade for some jigs or something. I'd like to see other peoples work. Eric

Thanks guys for the responses. Yeah, they are the new stainless pots with the plastic handles. Is there away to clean the plastic out other than with worm softener? I don't have any of that stuff, I pour alot of saltwater baits. Could I use a wire brush on a drill? Looks like I might tear that pot up, pretty thin side walls. Eric

I just bought some hot plates and pots which I got from Lurecraft. I've been heating my plastic in the microwave and then pouring the plastic into the pot and setting it on the burner to keep it hot. My problem is that some of the plastic likes to stick to the pot when I try to remove it after I let it cool. Is there an easy way to get it out or am I doing something wrong? I'm used to the pyrex where it just pulls right out. Thanks Eric
