  1. I bought some Christmas ornament wire hangers to try out. These were like $2 for 300 of them and so far I have just used them to die chatterbait blades. Allen
  2. Another one cracked tonight when I pulled it out of the microwave. It was a mixture of half pre-heated plastic mixed in with 1/2 fresh plastic. Looks like it is time to try out that Lee Pot I bought 3 years ago. Allen

    Teflon Inserts

    I have some that I have scraped the paint off with my fingernail for 3 years and never had a problem. The Teflon pins I lose under my bench way before they change size. Allen
  4. I am just a hoppy person myself and heating plastic in 4oz cups to make what I need. Re-heating the plastic after each shoot and adding more plastic when needed. Allen
  5. I have been hand pouring soft plastics for over a decade and have never had a problem with the pyrex cups. In the past week two have shattered when trying to use them for injection molds. The temp gauge says 350 but they are just shattering when I set them down on the wooden bench as I always have. Not sure what is going on here but it is a pain to clean this up. Allen

    Sunfish swim jigs I made.
  8. I gave up and bought a ladle to pour with out of frustration. Tired of spending more time cleaning the pot than pouring baits. Allen
  9. Only thing I have to add to this is those baits look great. Allen
  10. Here are two baits from the same mold manufacturer that I shot last night. Plastic was a mixture of some green from the same injector shot. As you can see one is shiny while the other is dull since I did not spray the mold. Personally I am liking the matte color so I will shoot the rest of that cup in that mold. Allen
  11. I have some I could trade but they are all basic colors. Allen
  12. BOSS stuff works but they are expensive where as Columbia is like $15/lb. Allen
  13. They sell it by the pound and I have been using it on my jigs for years. Allen
  14. https://www.columbiacoatings.com/products/powders/textures-veins I think this is what you are looking for. Allen
  15. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Soft-Plastic-Lure-Bait-Mold-DIY-Zander-Pro-Swimbait-Shad-Bugmolds/192427171360?hash=item2ccd8d9e20:m:mJ2D_C34xA28PX50hhLkZ0w:rk:53:pf:0 I have a few of these and they come out dull if that bothers you like Mark said spray with PAM. Aluminum are nicer but if you are only making a few baits for personal use these are a lot cheaper. Allen
  16. What size spincast mold do you use for say 1/2oz spinnerbaits? Will 12" work or does it have to be 15". Allen
  17. I had this happen once before and it was some contaminant in the lead. Allen
  18. By the look of that jig it is not from a Do-It mold as the collar and barb are wrong. That mold is either a spincast one or I would guess a Shawn Collins custom. Check eBay for CNC works or something like that for Shawn Collins molds as that is the name he go by there. Otherwise look into Cast Industries as they spincast heads. Allen
  19. Found that out the hard way myself. Allen
  20. https://www.picassooutdoors.com/Picasso_Spinnerbaits_Willow_Indiana_p/psb-wi.htm By the looks of this I would say it is a size 6 maybe 7. Allen
