Bass-Boys replied to jigmeister's topic in Soft Plastics
Link ?? -
Glad to here Les.
-
Is this Gel mixed into the bait , or just on the outside of the bait ?
-
Ohh ,, I just got my 1st - 5 gal . of bait plastics. . Used mostly Calhouns in the past. I mite need this advice ,, Hmmm .
-
How do you spell it ?????? Its too bad Lure Craft prices are way out of line .
-
My thought is ,, Green, Blue, Black, Brown. Any of these colorants but in a small amount. Like smoke with the black and so on . Then with the white glitter.
-
What plastisol are you using ? I have molds that have been used for years and years and no build up ??
-
Or do you mean ,,, melt down used store bought plastic baits?
-
I use worm oil on metal rods. Soak a napkin and wipe it on the rods
-
Try to use a base color like yellow or tan ( not Black ) maybe then a lot of gold pearl and gold hi-lite
-
Lay the mold halves one at a time on a flat surface, cav. side down and see if it rocks back and forth when you push down on each corner ( one corner at a time )of mold half. Also mite have a burr on the mold some where and it is not letting it close all the way .
-
just in the bait cavity area ??
-
Price of plastisol really doesn't have anything to do with a vac. Its just us giving our opinion on the subject. Its just a debate, If a guy has his mind set on getting a vac that's great , his choice. I do not have one and do not need one but I do deal with bubbles. I also do not make clear baits. If I made clear baits I mite think differently about getting one . Every one has an opinion none are right or wrong.
-
Not sure ?? , but it looks like the only free shipping from MF mite be in gallons of plastisol ??? $ 68.75 per gallon - free shipping . it does not say free shipping on the 5 gallon pail .
-
Dead on is $51.82 ( gallon ) with the shipping to me . MF is FREE shipping
-
There site says lead time is 15-20 days, so you should be getting info soon . Great molds.
-
Hmmmm..

I have a 3" twin tail ,,copy of yamamoto,,, but 1/4" longer body? If you are interested. I use for regular and hula grubs.
-
I have had water do this - if you leave the baits in the water too long. But they came back around after they dried out.I rarely ever use water anymore.
-
sounds like a clamp issue .. but I would make sure the molds are 100% true flat on the inside of the molds where they come together, They mite have a slight warp ? just a couple thoughts.
-
You would have to extend the legs on the pot I guess to get under there, or an extension on the valve maybe ?

Bingo !!

This is what I get out of it . Right or wrong I do not know ? #1- promote yourself as a very good bait maker - do not sell your product to cheap . #2- Design and make your own bait . #3- Do not waste time,, while waiting for plastic to heat up - get other stuff ready. #4-Do not let bait making beat you. #5-Try to come up with your own style of baits.
