Hey all been gone for a few years and starting to get back into the swing of things. I was going through some of my baits that have been in storage for a few years and came across a couple of crankbaits that I am having trouble finding info on, so any info would be appreciated. The one thing I really want to know is how deep they dive. They are specialty tackle Junior d's Thanks for any input

Not sure if you could do one like the one you are talking about. I have an idea how to try it. It may take some time but if it works I will let you know, and post a picture.

If you wanted a 3 color dip, kmolds could make the cavities and rods smaller then you could pull the tubes out with the rods left in and then dip them in your other colors. If you had a divided pyrex cup you could pour laminates, and swirls with the mold as well. I did some tequilla sunrise swirls for someone last week. I have 2- 8 rod dipping tools that I use when I dip, just gets to be a pain. Using the mold is so much easier. Wish I had a video recorder to show the process how fast and easy it really is.

It would depend, like I said I have done both ways and to dip and get it the same thickness as a mold hand poured I would have to dip at least 2 times depending on salt content, so that is why I said pouring is faster. And T-man I am sure he would not say dipping is faster, if you read his post again he already said he could not say because he has never used a mold to make tubes, but I have done it both ways and pouring is faster. As fast as the pot will pour. When dipping you have to let the first dip set for a couple of seconds before the second coat, and by the time I do the second coat I have already poured my second tube and on to the third one. I am not sure how bojon does his but that is how I dipped mine, so that is why I say pouring is faster. It all depends on how thick you want your tubes with dipping, but with pouring they are perfect every time with the same consistency, now if you had a setup to where you could dip 10 tube rods at once then it would be as fast maybe faster. Too many variables to honestly say which is faster. Hope this answered some questions.

I use the same cutter as bojon. I have no problems with this mold, it is not made like a tender tube type its more of a flipping tube if you keep the mold warm and the plastic hot you will have no problems. If you want a thinner walled tube kmolds can probably make a thicker rod. And bojon you can pour tubes fast with this mold in my opinion this is much faster than dipping I have done both. Also you can make a solid head with it for better hook holding properties. Hope this helped.

Got my new tube mold from kmolds.com this thing pours really nice. Now I wish I had a pneumatic tail cutter.
