I have the ones from Bear's. They do a good job. I've been using them for 3 or 4 years.

Mark we don't have any vegetation in our lakes. Most have very little standing timber. Man made brush cover is what we mostly have. BTW I did blind sow a 6.5 a couple of years ago on a Ned but I was using a #2 hook instead of a #4. (I'm not a purist and will go up to 3/0 on some of them.)
-
Around here the purist Ned guys use an itty bitty #4 crappie hook on a 1/16 oz head. It is so small it hardly gets hung up.

Nice video. You might want to get some Frankfort Arsenal drop out spray. You can treat the whole mold instead of using the candle and it will last for a long time.
-
Me neither.

I have been using Calhoun M but ordered a 5 gal pail from Bait Junkies. Can I mix them together or just use up the Calhoun's and get new gallon jugs?
-
Thanks Curt. Great job as always.

When I get paint in the eyelet I use my Popsnagger to clean the paint out.

Delmart Handpour 5" Stick Mold Denting
Jig Man replied to Pure Action Baits's topic in Soft Plastics
The copper coupler works well. Be sure to buy at least 10 because those little suckers get very hot. -
I modify my molds without using a dremel tool. I am leaving this am on a 2 week fishing trip but will be glad to discuss it with you when I get back home. If you are interested send me a pm.
-
Sorry, I was brain dead and didn't see it in the thread topic.
-
Whose mold are you talking about? I have Bear's tube molds and they shoot great.
-
I use 90# sevelon or surflon coated cable.
-
On Table Rock, Stockton, and Pomme de Terre, white with a bit of chartreuse or red along with a Zoom swimming chunk have been the best for me.

I have his # now. 417-631-9978
-
I use a divided pyrex cup for swirls.
-
Dale Greist at Nixa Mo does my rod work. I don't have his number right now but I can get it if you are interested.
-
I used to use cattle catheter injectors. I modified them to fit my home made molds. They worked but were not safe to use very long.

Pour Into A Aluminum Mold (Not Injected)
Jig Man replied to Ultimate Predators's topic in Soft Plastics
Even pouring a worm I use spru extenders. -
I do in the winter but my garage isn't air conditioned so they don't need it in summer at my place.
-
Thanks but I have already ordered 100 #2 so I think I'll be good for a long time.
-
CLR might help with the rust. Acetone is my go to cleaner for anything that won't melt.
-
Thanks fellows. I thought the 2 might be a better size but wanted to check before ordering.
-
I am looking for some ball bearing swivels and some are for sale on this site. They are #2 and #3. Which size would be the best for tandem spinnerbaits. My brain is on vacation and I feel that they may be too small but can't really decide. So Cadman or smalljaw I know you guys will have the answer if some of the others don't. Thanks in advance.

I have a guy who helps me pour and that has really speeded up things and made the job easier.
