Re: Crooked baits

Like others have said, there is a long curring time after plastics are pulled from the mold. As soon as mine come out of the mold I lay them on a large cookie sheet in the EXACT position I want them to be. Then I let them sit over night to cure. Sometimes I've even put them in the freezer for a few hours to speed the process. You're asking for big trouble if you bag them right out of the mold, they will get all perminently kinky and bent.

Re: Crooked baits

This is what I do to cure my home-pours. Line them up real careful, exactly like you want them to be, then cure for a day or two. Putting the pan of lures in the freezer speeds up the pocess.

Re: Crooked baits

in AZ you just need to leave them in the sun for a few mins and they will straighten out.
