Les Young Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) I have an angling ai injection 4" double dipper tube mold & it is an excellent mold. You have to cut the tails by hand, but i made a beefed up version of lurecrafts press & attached their deluxe plastic cutter to it to make it easier on my shoulder. As far as the mold goes it is top notch. I have to let it cool every now & then because i get on a roll & get it hot sometimes. lol I ordered an extra set of rods for it & you can actually roll them out pretty quickly, but i think i'm going to order 3 more sets for a total of 25 so i can put out more in a relatively short time. I have been injecting tubes in the colors i want the tails to be & then hand dipping for 2 color tubes too & they come out good as well dipping them to the line the mold leaves. Heres a couple pics. The first one injected & then hand dipped & the second is straight out of the mold & the tails are cut with my press.

Les Young Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) I also have the solid tube mold from enforcer & it gets bit easy enough & doesn't cause line twist. I also have rods I made to hand dip them too. I've never saw a tube mold at baitjunkys & when I asked about one Leonard never said he had one either. If they do I'll buy one from him when ready for another. Edited May 15, 2017 by Les Young Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baitjunkys Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 I got a 64 cavity that pulls the rods out for you automated. No hand tubes yet tho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been looking for some other pics and can't find any. I have been thinking about going the same thing. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
