Oiling Your Injector?

Recommended Posts

New guy here. Trying to learn as I go along. After pouring about a gallon of plastic over the course of a couple days my injector has become very hard to use. It takes extreme force to pull plastic in and push plastic out. Do I need to oil my injector? If so, how do I do this? If not, what is wrong with my injector?

I keep a gallon of worm oil on hand  for this & packaging of baits too.I also keep a seperate bottle with a yorker style cap with worm oil from the gallon jug that i use just for oiling the injector because there will be small peices of plastic & flake come out sometimes after oiling. When my injector starts to tighten up i pop the end off & pour some down it with the piston pulled down about an inch & pull plunger all the way to where it would be when full of plastic & then reinstall end & squirt it back into the bottle. Works great.

I have not used his injector. The general consensus is to go with basstackle.com. I have their single and double injector and they are awesome. As far as baitmold.com, I have some of their molds and they are good. I do have one problem with them though. One of my aluminum molds and one of my stone molds has the alignment pegs loose and you have to constantly reseat them.

I'm using the Pam that is canola based. Works great with no side effects.
