I got a really nice 4" curl tail worm mold from BTS molds.
-
Question? I couldn't find an answer anywhere(still a newbie). In which way is a mold consider either "top" injection or a "side" injection? Which one is the picture shown considered?

As a 'newbie' with only a years experience I have found Bait Plastics to be very good and user friendly. They have about 8 different harnesses. You can get a sampler pack for $20. I like the #242 and a gallon is $39.99 with free shipping.

Same here. I like the stuff from Bait Plastics.

I've got me a recipe book with pictures of the very successful ones. Thanks.
-
Thanks. I've screwed a bunch up.
-
I think I'm over thinking this but I'm having trouble making a "bone" or "off-white" color for injecting. Any suggestions? Sorry if this has been asked before. Rick

Who has the best jig trailer molds? Thanks.

What Brands of Colorant Do You Prefer?
Bassmaster Rick replied to Bassmaster Rick's topic in Soft Plastics
I was able to match the exact weight of the GY Senko usiing glass bead media for the first time instead of salt. Very little color distortion. -
Just a general question for everyone. Like a ton of us I'm trying to imitate the Senko. What brand of colorants are you using, especially the watermelon color? I've tried the Do-It and MF brands and they are nice but I just can't quite match the Yamamoto watermelon colored Senko. Thanks.

Someone recommended cutting a thin piece of flat plastic just a little smaller than your bag so that you can stack your baits on it and then slide it into your bags. I did this and it works pretty good.
-
I just got me some 100-170 glass bead media but have yet to try some. Been making worms.
-
Someone in here recommended www.clearbags.com I got 100 of the HZB74Q 7"x4.25 bags and 100 of the HZB64 6"x4" for a total of $22.
-
Great tip! I just made me a "slide" for my 6" and 7" bags.
-
Thanks. Just got me some!
-
It's a great attractant for trout.

I don't have a clue as to the brand of my 4oz injector. I got it from Rob at Zeiners. It works good for me.
-
I use a bottle brush and then run a micro fiber towel thru it.
-
Zeiners is awesome.

I had a good order in with Lure Works/Spike it and then found out that they sponsor Mike Iaconelli, so I quickly canceled the order. I'm having good success using MF sinking and medium plastisol and Bait Plastics plastisol.

Hey Guys. I'm making Senkos using the Angling Ai core shot mold. Nice mold. I've noticed that I'm getting some small flat spots in the outer plastic shoot. I don't think the fish are gonna notice it but I do. I'm injecting my first shot at 325-340 degrees and the second shot a little hotter as recommended. I let the first shot sit/set for 7-8 minutes or more before pulling the rods out. And then injecting the second shot. Any advice? Or should I not worry about it. Thanks.

M-F plastic turning yellow vs clear 1st time heated
Bassmaster Rick replied to Senkosam's topic in Soft Plastics
I have found that with multi heats even when using heat stabilizer and using only 20-30 second heat cycles the MF plastisol starts to 'darken'. -
If you order direct from MF be prepared to wait 2 to 3 months for your order.
-
Can you reheat your plastic when using GBM? I've heard it's not recommended.
-
Try Ben at Zeiners.
