Hey don't mean to randomly jump into this but I'm having an issue when I'm shooting my 5" senko. Sometimes they come out just fine other times I will have flat spots on some of not all of the baits on all random spots of the bait.. Any idea as to what's going on? And help would be great thank you guys

Hey guys. I've gotten into pouring stick baits "senkos" I'm having an issue with them. When I pull them from the mold there will be some flat spots on some of the worms any idea what's going on?

I had the mad dad craw mold in the 3 in and I like it a lot but I just hate that it is a single cavity mold. Has anyone used Bob's split tail beaver bait?
-
Hmmm what size would you recommend getting to start with for the 702? And anyone know if there is a used one for sale?
-
I have not tried that one but I have seen you talk about it a lot MonteSS. What do you like about it? and have you ever made hula grubs? or twin tails?

Hey you guys. I am looking at getting a couple more molds. I am wanting to get a nice beaver mold thats about 4.25" long and a 6" finesse worm for darter heading and shakey heading. The beaver I haave taken a look at the BTS split tail and was wondering what your guys' thought would be on that one or if you had an other suggestions? Also if anyone has any molds like that or a 6" worm I might be willing to purchase, however I am not wanting anything under 4 cavities because I have found lower that that is a pain to make a lot quickly. Thoughts and opinions? Also, I want to get a twin tail and hula grub??

Hey guys so I've been watching some videos and some people add color before hearing and some add it after does it make a difference and if so, what is the difference?
-
Thanks for the help y'all!! I'll probably be back soon! Haha
-
And how should I leave them? Just flat on a table? Or hanging some how? In water?
-
Ok so I have already ran into my next problem. I bagged some baits and when I went to use them a few days later they were all bent up. How long should I wait before bagging them to minimize this from happening? Or should I lay them out for a while to fully set up or...? Any help would be great.
-
Ok haha thank you just curious and idea where I should start with how much to hard? If I can help it I don't want to waste a bunch of plastic you know? However I understand if you'd like to keep that to your self man. Haha

Hey, so I have an other question. I'm not trying to steal anyone's recipe or anything but I'm having trouble with durability with my plastics. Me and a buddy went to a golf course pond last night where we knew we would catch fish but to see how but I wanted to see how durable my baits were. We caught 12 fish between the 2 of us but I feel like we went through too many baits. I don't want to make a plastic that is a one and done. I want something that can last a couple fish but still soft enough to have the proper action. The baits are for freshwater bass fishing so I don't want them to be a harder plastic like saltwater baits but soft enough to have the proper action the bait offers but durable enough to to last several fish. Hope this makes sense y'all. Any help would be great. Thank you.

Its like a syringe at the doctors. Also you're not holding it completely vertical more so angled over the cup you're pulling you're plastic from this way the air will be at the nozzel and get pushed out. Once the air is out plastic will run out but this is why you hold it over the cup you are pulling from so the plastic that runs out falls back into the cup. Hope I made sense and It works for me and seems pretty safe. At least for me anyways. You know?

With hardeners and softener me you add them and mix before you heat the plastisol right?
-
Thanks again for all the helps and tips man! Real realt help. What about a heat stabilizer in general? Would it be a bad idea to add a few drops over every batch?
-
Thank you guys again for the help I appriciate it. But I have one more question, when it comes to the injector they came oiled around the O rings on the punger and nozzle and after shooting for a bit it's gotten dry and I don't want to tear them up or anything. Would any oil work like reel oil is there a certain type or grease? That won't mess with the plastic? And how often should it be done? And what are yalls thoughts on plastisols? I'm currently using the BT M-F regular formula and getting some of do-it molds ES in in a day or so to try that out. I want something with a decent stretch so if a fish has a tail and not the whole bait a hook set won't ruin it but still very durable so they last more than one fish. Thoughts? Or recommendations to try? And how do softener sand hardeners affect thin like durability, stretch, temps, and things of that nature. Sorry it's a lot but any thoughts, tips or advice would be much appreciated.

Ok so I figured out what the issue was, I was doing everything correctly when it came to injecting and topping off the spru and everything. What I was doing wrong was when I would suck up the plastic I wasn't point the tip up allowing any air bubbles in the injector to come out through the nozzle and pushing them out. With the plastic still being a liquid in the mold any big bubbles would float to the top causing a bit air cavity which is why it was the same air pocket on each injection. I started sucking up plastic point the nozzle heavily angled upwards over the my plastic and let the air bubbles come to the top then pushing them out until it was just plastic and no air bubbles. Each injection has been fine since then. Thank you guys for all the help I appriciate it a lot!!

I've see the video and it's great. And that's where my question arises. I'm topping of the spru and the spru won't be hollow at all but there is an air pocket in the top of the bait. It's a side injection bt bomb 3.5 inch and I've sucked up the plastic and poured it into the injector and it tends to happen both ways. Could it be incorrect temps injecting too fast or too slow? I'll ad some pictures here shortly of what I am talking about.

Hey guys, I have been making jigs for a little while now and started getting that down and wanted to expand into making soft plastic baits. I started off with just getting bass tackles starter kit, I've watched a lot of videos on shooting plastics and read up a lot. I'm having a problem with when I shoot the bait and pull it after its set up a bit there are air pockets in the rib on the bait but only on the top. I got the 3.5 BT bomb and it's a side injection mold. I've tried pouring the plastic into the injector, sucking up the plastic, and the rate at which I inject. I always top off the spur but I always have the air bubbles in the same place. Can anyone lend me some advice as to what the issue might be? It would be a great help. Thank you guys very much!!
