Does anyone on the forums know how to pour a cored worm. I need to replicate a red with black core worm. This is one of the most confusing things I have tried to figure out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It'd have to be a one piece mold. Pour your first color filling the cavity about half way. Then pour your core, pour it straight down the middle of the first pour with out the plastic touching the sides of the mold. Then finish the mold off with another color. Then you'll have a core.

"cored" senko... it's clear (with come salt) with a blue centre, worked VERY well for me

i poured my first colour (clear), let it set up a bit and then poured the blue gave it a little bit of extra time to setup and then closed the mold and poured the clear again... it stayed solid and didn't give the split vein effect the blue was totally surrounded by clear

Probably a silly question, but what the hell. Could the middle blue layer pour be replaced by ink? India ink brushed on or even a marker pen. Or would this just cause splitting.

I understand the risk of pouring onto a wet surface, but the ink should dry instantly. If it worked, some interesting effects could be produced.

Likely the ink will bleed into the plastisol over a few weeks, in a clear bait it would definetely produce some interesting colours. You might ask Nova about his technique to produce a cored dropshot bait, I know he was doing it a while back. It requires dipping a "vein" on a coat hanger sized piece of wire (basically a long thin tube) and then laying it into the bait in between pours, the nice thing about this is the bait is more bouyant.

How about using the method that the ceramics people use to get hollow vases,pots, etc. Pour into the mold, pour it out of the mold, then fill with the second color (the core). Would this work?

The ink may also be water based and may never truly dry.

I have done something similar to Nova in that I used a small metal rod when I poured into my 2 piece molds. Let the baits set up, remove the rod and pour the core color. You will get a small air bubble this way but it was at the end of the bait where I wanted it. You have to be dead on the small whole as well.

Swamps description is the traditional way to do it and works quite well once you get the hang of it.

This does take some practice though!!! Bad part is, hard to recycle as you have mixed colors....
