hi. i haven't posted a new thread up here but have learned alot from many of you. and now i have a question and i am wondering if you guys can give me some tips.

i now have a bait that i like very much and i can pour plenty for myself, but i am quickly running into a problem of needing MUCH more bait than i am able to pour myself. i need to know how and/or what i need to be able to pour soft plastic swim baits in the 1,000's in a short amount of time to keep up with my demand.

has anyone solved this problem or know how or what i can do to get the numbers i need to pour?

Quality pouring pots and enough molds that by the time you get done pouring the 1st ones are cold enough to take out of the first mold.

Quality pouring pots are a MUST. Stay warm pots are good pot.

Presto pots with the stirrer are a great way to get some good pours done also. If you have a large enough room to have 2-4 pouring stations and lots of molds you can push out quite a few. Having another person cracking molds is a huge time saver also.

Don't count out getting some one with quality injection equipment to do it for you.
Figure your costs and how many you will be selling (aprox) and make your decision from there.
Lures are notorious about getting hot then cooling off REAL QUICK ... the possibility of some one with capabilities and distribution all ready set up to "Knock It Off" can kill you as well.
Just my 2 cents worth. Hope it may help a little ..

Does Chuck do soft plastics too?

No one has asked whether or not these baits have more than 1 color in them. From the posts above its assumed its a 1 pour deal. Most of the swim baits I have done using Lurecraft molds have had a least 2 colors and sometimes 3. Factoring out an injection machine and using the best in pouring pots I can't see anyone pouring 1000 of these in a day, unless you have a lot of molds and a lot of people pouring. If these baits have any size at all its going to take a lot longer to cool them off. You have the business, thats the good thing. Figuring the best way to whip them out is another thing. Wish you the best and will be interested to see how you resolve the problem.

I think 10 to 15 molds for one guy should be enough. But you still have to pour for a day. Unless you get a high production injection thing. But thats not a hand poured plastic any more. If people want hand poured they should know it takes time for quality plastics and the best plastics around.
