Nice work! You're done for, now. Good thing you're already divorced. I'm sorry to say that UPS doesn't deliver on Saturdays. A dollar to a doughnut says you re-melt those baits and pour them again! Been there, done that:yay: Welcome

I can hear it now.......Tyler, do you know what happened to the microwave and the blender? No, mom call the police......we must have been robbed!!!

I believe alot of guys are using this made by Smooth On OOMOO™ 25 & 30 1A:1B Mix By Volume Silicone Rubber

It depends on what you'r trying to achieve by using salt. When pouring sticks, salt is used primarily to make the bait sink. Some people also think that salt tastes like blood and the fish will hold onto the bait longer. I don't know for sure about that. What I do know is, that if you mix salt in when you cook the bait, the bait will lay flat on the bottom. Without salt, the bait will stand straight up and be more visible. Some people mix salt in with almost everything. Some people don't use salt at all. Some roll their baits in salt for packaging purposes. Experiment and see what works for you. What kind of bottom does your local waters have? Will the bait get lost when it hits the bottom? Maybe you could find out what the locals are using and see what characteristics those baits have.

From what I've experienced there might not be a so-called "best" plastic, but they are certainly not all the same. Some do not settle or separate. Some do. Some more than others. Some have an odor. Some don't. Some do not smoke much. Some do. Some people swear by one brand and others by another. Bottom line is they all make great baits. Some people make their decisions by price, some by shipping costs. Others, by customer service. It's a matter of personal preference by trial and error. I made phone calls and asked questions. I asked for samples and offered to pay the shipping. I received samples from some. Some I didn't.

See, there ya go! It just takes a little practice, just take your time and don't be afraid to ask questions. Find out what colors work best in your area, and write down your formulas as you develop them. Post a pic after you pour some. Good luck, have fun and practice safety measures (no rock or tv while pouring)

Have him make you a couple that you can pour with a pyrex cup. With a little practice you'll be pouring great baits. It's alot safer than using an injector, which I'm sure your dad will appreciate. Also, don't be playing AC/DC:yay: (for safety)while pouring! Start practicing with those POP molds you have. If you fill the pyrex cup half way, you will have more control when you're pouring.

If you go back to the video, there is a whole series of them made by Master Casters. Definitely worth looking at especially the one where the guy forgot his hat. Hey Blades, if you were using braid you probably could have yanked right off that thing!

Well, you now have a mold that works. Why are you thinking you need an injector?

You can try M-F Brown Watermelon.

More molds and a good thereapist!

I think they are talking about making a hookslot in an existing mold that doesn't have one.

Great post, Dean! If I saved all the money I didn't have to spend, while avoiding the "trial and error" process, I probably would have been able to buy a new boat! I think I'll put a "tip can" next to my monitor!

Nice work! Can I join your club?

.....and don't forget the easy pour spout! I rock it back and forth a couple of times in the morning and I'm good for the day.

Ok, I got you. I thought the TU Club member list was replacing the original list of members

I think you'll see quite a few people signing up just before the end of the month. Right before they lose their discounted rate. How many, remains to be seen. I would like to see links to TU members web sites on the member's list page along with the PM and e-mail links. Alot of times, after I've read the posts or when it's slow on the weekends, I'll go down the list and visit other member's sites.

Great video. You make it look easy, but I think I better stick to frogs and worms right now!

I don't know anybody that sells 7 x 5. I looked at Johnson Bag Company which only sells minimum 1,000 and they don't make that size. Ozark who sells 100's does not sell that size either.

I know a guy who has this milk truck and........... I can see the headlines now......

Before you turn everything black, try separating your Green Pumpkins and Watermelons. Add a little green highlight (copper, black lumina, etc.) powder and presto you've got what I call Nuclear Waste! You can also "save" almost anything you experiment with by adding a little highlight powder. That stuff's like magic!

With what they drink at the frat houses, you could probably put yourself through Grad School. All you need is a pair of gloves and rubber boots. Dumpster diving as we called it in the early 70's at The University of Florida! Go Gators!!

Now you KNOW somebody's gonna try it, for sure!
