  1. Now thanks to "TU" newest habit ROD Repairs. Jumped in and refurbishing my 4 ALX casting rods that needed eye replacements, got all of them done. THAT WAS EASY! Next I got the itch to build a rod from the bare blank. Seeing how it would be my !st one, I did not want it to cost an arm and leg if it didnot work out...lol. I remembered a new "All Star" 7ft MH spinning rod that I had never used. So completely stripping it down to a bare blank and made a casting rod out of it. That was a JOB but now it is a usable tool. Finished it last week and proud to say went fishing today and caught a few nice spotted bass a lake Norman ......thanks again guys!
  2. update = still making these worms along with many other plastic lures, including a hybid craw that was a zoom viber-craw body and Rage craw pinchers, several shaky head type worms and a 12 inch night worm..

  3. thanks POP"S, got it down pat right now ….at less a method that works for me …using a 2 pour method right now makes it little slow but gave me a chance to make 2 color laminate colors. I don't think I've ever seen pre rigged worms with pours like this. There's alot have spots and different color tails ect. made about 50 now and almost ready to stop re-melting fluks and worms to get my plastic and get a jug of virgin plastic and dyes …. sure would like to see a professional mold that would hold the rig while you poured .but for now my 3 home made resin molds are pretty good.
  4. jigmeister, thanks for the Dacron tip! I read up on the spec on dacron thread melts at around 600 degrees so I stopped by Cabelas and got a spool of 20lb dacron fly reel backing. Today tied 6 hook harnesses and re-melted some dark cherry and pear white zoom flukes. I poured a line of the cherry to set my harness in it. Holding the hooks till cooled enough they stayed upright.then heated the white and filled the mold with it made all 6 worms came out very good. Thanks again for the tip!
  5. so are you heating plastisol wthi micro wave, how do you hold your hooks as you pour into the mold or do you pour then place the hooks in the plastic? Thanks for the PIC and info...….knew someone had to know the secret
  6. I would still like to hear from some one the may have information of how the old DO NOTHING PRE RIGGED CAROLINA WORMS were poured
  7. ok found a supplier that has Kevlar thread https://www.thethreadexchange.com , ordered size 46- tex40 it is 14lb test. made a couple harnesses the thread is doubled so its more than enough for bass fishing and poured a hot melt over the harness in the mold . Thread had no shrinkage took to the plastic well. Think this is the best to build my pre rigged worms. Hope this will help anyone interested!
  8. I spotted the nomex on ebay last night, the guy had several sizes do you think the right size would be the tx60?
  9. I think I'm going to stay with the 50 lb braid for now since I figured out how to lay the harness after pour. I was wondering the braid would loose integrity after placement in the cooler plastic but it seems this method worked well. Got to field test it and this 6 lber put it thru more than most fish would also landed several 2 lbers and a 4 lber....... as the Guy on the popular TV show "FORGED IN FIRE" might say Bass Stump your worm will catch fish!!! Again thank for all the member's replys!
  10. wooooo.. ..... I think Ive got it figured out . I thread it with quilting needle work ok but just not what I wanted...keep trying things and finally was thinking back to early days ... Mmmmm... did they have micro waves ? maybe the microwave is too hot for nylon lines..pre-tied another 2 hook rig with same 50 lb braid that was melting before, used open flame coleman propane stove and a 1 cup size cast iron pan slow melted some white mag trick worms and pour the melt into the mold the positioned the hook rig in place then poured another quick line of melt to fill the mold ....seems to work .. tell me which is the original and which is 2018 version.....
  11. thin the southern states we had "do nothing Carolina worms" poured with hooks and line in place (SEE attached pics) . I know there are some mid western tackle makers(even for sale today) that are/say their are hand sewn ...just looking for instructional video or pic's telling how.. thanks for the replyes
  12. I use to purchase a custom pour 7.5 in floating worm that are no longer made. I had the foresight to purchase many packs in the 80's but are down to the last 5 worms in my treasure chest...lol so I'm learning how to pour my own. I have duplicated the worm using a resin mold and have mad a snell tied harness using momo and the new brad lines but none of the lines will hold up to the heat and instantly melt. I think the worm makers may have used other plastic or latex that poured cold or maybe had different lines that could stand up to the hot plastic. Are there any articles on how to techniques of pouring pre rigged multi hook worm...thanks
