BuMMeRBaits

Awsome job Jim....Haven't been around here in a while, but was really excited for you when I saw this post. Guess I am going to keep some of the Orignal GhostBaits I got from you many, many moons ago....and will be coming down there to get you to autograph them one day.

Miles, I pour in my garage and what I do is open the garge door up some and put a large window fan blowing out, that keeps most of my fumes out. I also put one behind me sometimes in the summer to help keep the air circulating even more.

Any one have a color close to ZOOMs Moccasin Blue, I got several guys wanting some baits in this color and do not want to waste alot of plastic trying to get a good match unless I absolutly have to. Thank's and Merry Chirstmas...........

The fiberglass resin molds are really easy. I just use old glass cake pans (garge sell items), the are probably 8x8 or so. Glue your baits to the bottom of the glass pan with super glue, let the super glue dry good. Go buy some Fiber Glass Resin at you local auto-parts store, mix the resin and hardner together in the recommended amounts as per the container. And then pour it into the glass pan. Usually just takes a few hours to setup. Then just pull the mold out of the glass pan and get any remaining plastic out of the mold, use something like a drimle to clean up the mold edges, ect... At that point I usually do about 2 pours with some old junk plastic to remove and left over fiberglass dust, ect.. from the mold and you should be all ready to go. Be sure to follow the recommended amount of resin to harderner, to little will give you a nice nasty gummy mold, and to much hardner till cause it to have cracks in it. Been there done that. Make sure the baits are glued to the pan really well, as if you have any places that are not glued the resin will get into that area and will require a little more use of the dremile. You can use any kind of pan from a old aluminum pie pan, metal cake pans, ect... I just prefer to use the glass pans because it makes the mold itself alot smoother. Hope this helps you out.

I have fished there for Largemouth, Smallmouth, Pike and Muskie. I lived right down the road from it for a few years while I was in college. My grandfather and uncles have been fishing it for years and years.

I just usually use a dremil (sp) tool to clean up the edges.

Lurecraft also sells them. I have two swimbait molds from them, but have not had the time to play around with them.

I have not ever had a problem like that and all I use is fiberglass resin molds. The only time I have a problem similar to that is when the container is not on a flat surface when it is poured and one side of he mold is higher than the other side. What kind of container are you using????? I mainly use glass type containers like a glass cake pan. These have always seemed to work really well, and you can get multiple uses out of the container, and the wife usual picks some up really cheap at yardsells on the weekends.

I have tried this a couple of times, the best match I could make was: Top - Black or Black Grape ( I prefer the Black Grape ) Bottom - Pinkish Purple w/ Small Amount of Blue Hi-Light.

Same problems here with my Calhouns. Looks like a nice beer head in my plastic after heating it up.

I tried the Garlic Salt one time, and that was it. Turned the entire cup of Watermelon Green into Dark Brown. I have been using either popcorn salt or LC's Salt floured. Haven't found any where local yet that has the large quantities of popcorn salt tried sam's and costco's here but no go.

See...knew it was better to ask before I jumped.... Thank's for the info......

Anyone seen any small plastic bottles with eye droppers built into the tops. Was think about this the other day and they seem like they would work well, and probably not have as much of the leaking type problems with them. Was thinking about testing it out with some bottles that kids liquid medicine comes in, I think the wife has a few left around somewhere. With the screw on lid to keep it closed good and the dropper seems like it would be great for dispensing out the drops of color. ANy one tried this already or any thoughts or comments on it.

I used the 3.5 during this past spawn and it was awsome, seemed the smaller size really helped. The 4. Inch also did well but not as well as the 3.5, the 4.2 seems to be one of baits most people ask me for also.

As always you guys provide the best info from many aspects. Thank's...
