i make small crappie baits so the molds i am using makes 12 at a time. the waste comes in when you have bad cast. i was using the bass tackle twinjector (don't get me wrong its a great piece of equipment and i plan to keep mine for small batches) and i was not that good with it and if everything was not exactly right i would have a lot of baits swirl or be one color. i know it was a operator error because once i got everything set it would cast great. well this unit is much more forgiving and i feel i can get it set quicker sooo
fewer bad cast = less waste
as far as faster i cant give you a B.P.M. (baits per minute) but this is what i do know, before after work i would be lucky to shoot 20 to 30 packs before it would get so late i would have to close up shop (like i said im not very good with the bass tackle twinjector) now in the same amount of time (4 hours, this time also includes set up and getting the plastic hot) i can shoot 40 to 50 packs of jigs and if i had 2 more molds it would be even higher, lack of molds is slowing me down now .... lol
i done 40 packs of jigs a 50 swimbaits in the same time and was not trying that hard since i didn't have to clean the injector after each shot like before i had a lot of idal time so i fired up another pot and shot swim baits while i was waiting for the jig mold to cool a little
i dont want people thinking i am bashing the bass tackle injectors ..... im NOT they are great, im glad i bought it and if you are making baits for you and your friends only and want to shoot laminates i would buy it ASAP but i needed to put out a lot of baits fast so this is to path i took
