  1. Hello my beautiful people just acquired a wobbly head jig, I have no idea on how to use it How do you work it,?is it a lift and drop thing. thank you guys
  2. Enforcer has a nice 3” worm. FTFW300 that’s great. I know it’s not a 4” but worth a look.
  3. Take a look at Angling AI they have great grubs, you won’t have a venting problem either, they make mold right.
  4. I know there are a wide variety of answers for this….what makes a good spinnerbait? second, do you prefer A traditional head or a hidden weight style and why with so many out there from big companies like Strike King to smaller one like Revenge or Ganns. What makes you pick one over another. when making your own, what are you looking for in component? Other that quality. Thanks, I’m just curious, I was looking at the Tackle Warehouse site and they have so many. This just popped up in my head. thanks
  5. Hey what are the benefits of a Hidden head spinnerbait over a traditional spinnerbait. I’ve always been curious thanks
  6. He makes great molds. Shouldn’t have any issues.
  7. Contact Do it. They have excellent customer service and will definitely get back to you.
  8. A stub out, that an excellent idea and I’ll be ordering a few myself.
  9. I have not used it but the best advice I got was using an asparagus steamer on a hot plate or griddle. You can get one at Walmart or Target for about $20 or so. I have one inch round aluminum rods that use to dip. As soon as I get a steamer.
  10. Take a look at Chris Jones You Tube channel Worlds Worst Fishing he has a video on how to pour it and at the end a swimming action video, he also helped design it as well.
  11. Try Lure craft under Grubs, they hand poured mold, they have something similar good luck
  12. That is a BTS mold, Bobs tackle shack, great mold btsmolds.com
  13. I'm following this thread, I can't seem to match it myself either
  14. Found this very recent video by FLW pro David Dudley, he takes an old Rattle bait and shows how he foils. This should be helpful fir guys that need a visual aid ( like me)
  15. Yes they do, Anglin AI is on word, and enforcer is based in Canada they both have there own web sites
  16. I'll see you in the soft plastic forum homie, I'm happy you will still be around cause you are a wealth of information that is too valuable to lose
  17. I posted up pictures of list I have in a new post, I hope that helps, I didn't know how to send them to you via PM
  18. I'm a HUGE fan of Enforcer molds, I love there paddle tail frog so much www.enforcerbaitmolds.com as far as cavities, I'm not sure if he offers a multiple cavity one or not but he is super easy to work with, his single is $45 plus shipping. I gave his and one from do it and his just kicks butt. Just FYI, he offers two style of paddle tail frogs, and his flat tail toads are the best on the market, I honestly believe that good luck
  19. When tying small jigs, like hair jigs and such I whip finish, I got use to a hand whip finish but when my hands hurt, I go right to my tool when I tie jigs with rubber skirts, I catch a loop, which is just a modified half hitch, it real secure too, what ever way you go, just learn to do it right, it's so important, you really can't go wrong
  20. For inks I buy from Lure craft, Spike it ( Lure works)and Dead on plastic for Glitter Lure craft and Spike it ( Lure works) plastic i am currently using Bait plastic ( Polysol) molds. Hand pour, Lure craft, Dead on and Moose ridge injection molds. Enforcer, Angling AI, BTS and Do it are my top choices i hope this helps, good luck, peace
  21. A picture would be helpfull if possible any who, Collins Molds is worth looking into, he has an eBay store cnc-works other than that I don't know any other cnc mold makers for lead, most concentrate on plastic, Do it is the only one doing sand casting any more, Hilts is pretty much gone and I don't recal them having spoons. good luck
  22. I have been a member since 2005, I don't come on here very often cause I can find better more willing help their places, I'm on several FB pages and the help I got there in 3 years out weight the help I've gotten here in 14 ( I was a lurker for one). That is sad but true. Side note, I hate the term "Real" cause it come from an authoritative stand point. Who the EF are you? But that's just my issue I've come back recently myself for one reason, to share the snot out of what ever I know, I'm holding nothing back One of the pages I follow on FB has my all time favorite rule, the page is about Painting Lures with a airbrush Their rule, if you post a picture you Must post a commentary on how it was done, if you don't, they remove your post and ask you to post again with instructions. It's sole purpose is to teach, showing your work is secondary. That is something I know would never fly on TU. I mainly concentrate on Plastics and lead, I'm learning more on hard baits, my ultimate goal is to build swimbaits Sadly I know where to find information when I get stuck and it's not here. With the exception of Mark Poulson And Two other members, Cadman and Smalljaw help is difficult I'm not a fan of lost knowledge, no matter how simple it is, knowledge list is a tragedy. I have for years now tried to find information on Late member Bojons Method for horizontal tube dipping, he had a complete methods or system that worked great, I have found people who own a CD that he made but are unwilling to share it, not unable But literally unwilling. Only thing I haven't tried is contacting his daughter but finding her has been impossible for me. It may be easy to do but now that has become a lost system and that to me is unacceptable I'm back for one purpose and that is to share what I have learned, when I get better at lure carving, I'm going to share that, I hold nothing back, I've had private messages asking me to stop before, I responded not to kindly. I remember the original purpose of this site and that was an exchange of knowledge and teaching those that are new, it's how the hobby grows, on here though there has been an impasse, Ego and bickering took over, that has called down a bit. Just so you know there are many many lure makers out there and they are making incredible lures, they are just not here, some have tried and left but trust when I say Lure making by hand is alive and well, they just stay away from here. That is troubling for a site built to help others that simply does not.
