It uses 1" dowels and runs on two sewing machine motors. It is crude but it made a ton of little wooden baits in its time. It is tough to find dowels made of light wood in my area, though. I bring it out of retirement from time to time to turn something I need ( e.g. I made plug lid for an olive oil bottle for my wife last week.) I though some of you might get a kick out of it.

It has individual injection ports for each bait so you can have a top to bottom laminate. Even a laminate plate would not give you a top to bottom laminate because the way the mold must be cut. You sound like Kevin he does not throw swim baits either or rarely. I asked him for the 7.5 ringed bait awhile ago and he told me, you guys use baits bigger than the bass in Arizona waters. You have to throw them if you get the mold cause when you catch one on a swim bait you my never go back.

You can't beat his service, he will do what it takes to see you are satisfied with his service. He's treated me great anytime I order from him.

You'll think everything is fine and then one day you'll get a drop or two of water in the hot plastic and your whole world will change in an instant. Once you feel the pain you'll stop using ice.

They are made from the salt water plastic from Lure Kraft. I have caught as many as 6 bass on one bait and could have caught more. Yes I see online at muddbuttbait.com. Thank you everyone for the response.

I appreciate the response, but would rather stick to hand dipping for now. Can't quite justify the cost of a 1-2 cavity mold, plus splitter, plus injector, etc. If you wouldn't mind sharing I would love to hear about your +40 years of hand dipping though.
