Same thing here, my tiles are smooth/glossy and about 8" x 12". I have a whole stack of them that I have scattered all over the place after I am done. I usually try to leave them overnight at a minimum but often I go a week or two before they get bagged.

Savings??

Is that with microwave heating?

I have had a website since 1996 and I am STILL fuzzy on all this stuff. lol

The bags I have bought have come from Lurecraft.com

Are you sure the nut isn't just the right size to block the neck? I worried about that when I put nuts in mine, but it ended up not being an issue.

I use LC soft formula and no matter how much worm oil I douse the baits with, in about two weeks the baits are oil free again. No salt either. I have even had oil pooling in the bottom of the bag, and two weeks later, gone. No complaints, the baits are easy to handle once it soaks in.

8,211 Ooops, another just came in. 8,212 lol

I don't pour in POP molds, but have dabbled in pouring different color tails in my silicone molds, and it definitely helps when the mold is warmed up to temperature. The second color needs to be poured as soon as you can while the first color is still liquid is just starting to solidify. A cold mold will cure that first color faster, so there is the issue. What I have been doing is pouring my one color baits first, then do the two color baits last after the mold is quite warm. If all I am going to do is the two color, I'll heat up some garbage plastic and pour 10 or 12 baits just to warm the mold some.

Probably due to temperature flucuations and damp conditions combined with the salt. Probably the same reason your car stays wet in the garage under those same conditions. I actually had beads of water forming on the surface of the baits.

I have left unsalted baits in my barn for weeks with no ill effects, but heavily salted baits started to "sweat" on me after several days.

I also shake the baits in a container with scent and oil, and there is a little pool in the bags sometimes if I go a little heavy on the oil. Two weeks later (or less) that pool is usually gone though.

I keep my gallons in my unheated barn/shop. I just put them in a place that I can see them, so it reminds me to give them a shake every once and a while. lol

The old ones were/are nice, that's why I bought 1000's of them. lol I'm glad to see they brought a very similar hook back into the line-up at a reasonable price. I was starting to entertain other options because my stash is getting low. Now if I could get Bass Pro to re-release the 3 1/2" Tender Tube in #13 melonpepper life would be good

This particular series might be new, but they offered a black pearl 570 hook in the laser sharp many years ago also. Just went out to the shop and dug out my last box, which has to be at least 10 years old and probably more. I got them at Jann's (and I think it was pre Netcraft)
