I have an Apex Anvil now for over 5 years now, got mine from BPS for $100, I'm sure they are a bit more now, I love mine. It pure meat and potatoes built tough. Though it's not a "true rotary" vice it rotates just fine for what I do and that is jigs, I tie hair jigs, float n fly jigs and bass jigs from finesse style to 5/0 football head jigs. Like I said its nothing fancy but for what most of us here do it's got plenty of backbone and rotation. For the price, you can not get a better vice.

Those are awesome, I have that old, need to get more insert as I I have just one i had to rub the insert with fine sandpaper to get it super smooth and adding worm oil help a ton, I blow air in the opening to be able to get the bait off the insert easier l love your baits, great job on airbrushing them, that is my next step on my learning curve, airbrushing plastics

My number one mold guy, I go to his site first before anyone else, he makes the best moods and his service us second to none, no other mold company holds a candle to his customers service, i wish every mold maker were like him, just can't say enough kind and honest things about enforcer, I'm a customer for life

I've been told the mustad 32798 in 3/0 fits in three of the sizes but have yet to try it out my self

I have that mold, ive used the crimped hook and like it very much, a homie on the Do it site found one for me and it's a neat little jig, really is

Never seen anyone dye feathers, very nice brother

What kind of brushes do you use? as you know there are a variety of brushes on the market from sizes to styles to what materials the brushes are made of what kind, where do you get them and so one, thanks

I heat up a small wire, same or smaller than hole, and just poke through it Clears right up, it is not a fast way to do it but in case you can't find a solution to you liking that is always an option Take care

Just your site, it's a mold I want that I like Only seen it on your site so no worries Brought it up cause they shoot about the same way

I just couldn't afford that mold but I want his 3.5 and the Dank tube one Great mold just not in my price range but worth it what they ask

Enforcer is my go to mold guy, when I need a mold I always go to him first, if he doesn't have what I require then I move on but as of today I owns about 8 of his molds. Best service, stands behind his work and easy to get a hold of

Little soap and water and light scrubbing should do the trick Just a little left over residue

X3 super sharp but never knew which ones where going to break o bend Just not worth getting, heat treating and annealing were suspect

Best way I found is through dipping Get a round rod the size tube you want, let's call it 1/8 for explaining purpose ok, don't get stuck on the size, the real size will be up to you but it will be small. Next get your plastic of choice, since they are small I would think you could get away with a medium Plastisol, normal tubes are usually harder plastic made for salt water Got your plastic all heated ready to use and Dip to about 1" key cool for a few seconds and dip again same size. Let cool and remove tube from rod, cut to size and the split tails by hand using scissors, razor blades xacto blade etc. There you have a nice crappie tube, the reason for two dips is simple, if you want two color tubes like a red head with yellow tail the you dip the yello first the dip the red only half way You will have to figure out your self a good way to many at a time but that is best left to his you like to work Hope this helps homie

I left a link on the post prior, it's from Ultra molds brother

Does not mean you can't try and put out good info, as complete as possible Even if just for your self, nothing is impossible just difficult

Wonder if it can be adjusted to different size tube?

I've looked for one myself but Barlow is the closest, Think I'm going to have to make one myself

Here are some that I poured, has placement for eyes Small hole on read of paddle where insert comes out of, why I blow air in it to remove. Hope this helps you

http://ultramolds.com/product/hollow-swimbait/ Ultra molds 5" hollow, I have this one and love it I smooth out the insert more with fine grit And use worm oil to get the insert out better And I blow air gently to remove the insert from bait It's as close as I've seen any other mold like it I love mine

Enforcer is my favorite mold maker, I go to him first and if it's not there I then move on but I just find myself buying his more and more

Excellent brother, plumbers putty, I have been using two part putty that gets hard Looking fi Ward to trying this. Thank you

I know the one you're looking for is the 5" mag, I too am looking for that One, if you find it before I do let me know. So far the two closest ones are the ones mentioned The search continues brother

Bass tackle has this one, both top hand pour and side injected pour,the bait junky one is spot on. BT is 6" BJ is 6.5" http://www.basstackle.com/6_Treat_Worm_p/165-kj-4.htm

I use small Pyrex cup with no handles, about 5oz and they get real hot, was thinking how to reduce heat by wrapping them, never thought using a koozie. Perfect for what I need. I use small cups for experiments Thank for the great solution to my problem....love this site
