Black Haze....I will keep my eyes open for you! Like the other guys stated...it is very expensive to get a multi-cavity mold made...I looked into it as well.

This is what I do...but I will add 1 more thing to the 3D eye tip. I use medium viscosity super glue and a paperclip to apply a VERY small dot in the eye cavity to ensure it stays on during the D2T application. I have had some eyes slip on me.

Being a "furniture guy" I saw that right off...but also saw a nice piece of furniture being used. I have converted old dressers into bathroom vanities and just about anything you could think of...point is: a nice piece of furniture being USED instead of set out on the curb for the trash guy to smash!!

I hadn't either...but a friend of mine said he would like to find some...maybe saltwater??? I dunno!!

I own a furniture refinishing shop and respirators are a must in all departments. That said...I am not real sure what the CFM's are above my pouring station, but for kicks and giggles (not funny by the way) I installed a dacron filter over the intake to see exactly what was being expelled out of my shop and not inhaled into my lungs...IT SHOCKED ME BEYOND WORDS!! I have stage 1 Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) and was not about to encourage it to reach stage 2 just to pour plastics. I wear an "overkill" respirator and you cannot even smell the plastisol in my shop after we have poured!! DO NOT TAKE CHANCES WITH THIS STUFF!! I will take a pic of this makeshift filter and post it here...trust me, when you see the gunk on this medium you will NEVER pour without a respirator or proper ventilation.

Is this made any longer anf if so...where could I get some or a recipe?? THANKS!!

I did some swim jigs recently and powdered them in white...scaled them with Createx...and epoxied the entire jig...threw it on the floor...not a chip! I did heat cure everything from beginning to end.... I have lacquered over some of my powders with no problems...I'll see if I can locate some pics.

I purchased it....that's all I have to say about that.......Forest Gump

Interesting...a friend had asked me to use a wide gap hook in his brush jigs, but after he saw the Owner hooks I put in them he changed his mind right away. That said, Mustad makes an awesome flat eye hook 38109 I believe, and now since you posted this, you got the wheels turning...thanks!! (HEAVY sarcasm)

Just ordered some Upperhand Scents to add to my plastics WHILE pouring....what are your thoughts? Cooking the scent into the plastic VS adding scent to the bagged product? I have bought plastics BOTH ways and quite honestly cannot say one way or another which I believe is better. But now that I am pouring my own trailers and worms.....would like YOUR opinions.

Alright...here is what I did: I went to a discount tool supply and bought a load of 1/8" and 3/16" CLEAR shrink tubing...cut 1" lengths of the 1/8" and 2" lengths of the 3/16"....now here is what you do.... force the 1/8" pieces onto the hook eye tight against the head. lightly moisten the weedguards with uh..spit and slide the 3/16 over the weedguard....heat the jig head just enough to melt the paint and swish through the powder....let the painted head cool so the tubing stiffens up...remove the tubing and wah-lah...no paint in the hook eye...and no frayed weedguards...works for me! Use a paint brush and clear it with the water based epoxy and you will have a gorgeous durable jighead!

I have been watching this thread very closely. I obtained (was given) 2.5 gallons of LC 502 and had varied results. I think because it had set for quite a while and most of the hardener had settled to the bottom and produced a softer bait. That said, I shook the living daylights out of the 2nd gallon and loved the results. Now, I am in the market for some more plastic and was looking at Spike It's "medium" in a 5 gallon pail. By far the "cheapest" I have found...but! Has anybody poured with it...thoughts, reviews?

I am 50/50 on the Snootie and Poisontail. I tie them and swim both of them. I will say that the Snootie comes thru grass like nothing I have ever fished before, and my saying about the Snootie is this..."When you fish it in grass, the only thing you will feel is the bite itself!" Don't get me wrong: the P-tail is an awesome all around jig, but for swimming, and especially in and around grass...the Snootie is superior! I agree with thread tying...I can customize my "flare" or "pop" just by the way I wrap the skirt and more importantly...where I wrap it!

Doc...I have seen some of your baits and you do a wonderful job! I am considering ordering some of your stuff! Keep up the good work and good luck figuring this color out. Powerworm- maybe just a nudge in the right direction would help? I mean, what is the harm in throwing a little crumb out there once in a while, after all, I THOUGHT this site was formatted to help guys along with making baits. I did not read where anyone was asking for YOUR secret formula(s)!! That said, I had posted a request seeking help with Zoom's sweet potato color and got 1 response: LC's Sweet Potato coloring. Hmmmm....I guess arrogance outweighs being helpful. Like some guys on here, I just ask for a little guidance in an area I am unfamiliar with. Doc pours baits and needs help with a color: Where's the harm in helping? Its not like Lucky Craft's secret to its pointer 78 or the plastic supplier for the RC 1.5!!! I have answered a few PM's and offered up some tips on what makes my jigs so weedless and why they catch MANY fish before giving up the ghost! Sorry for the rant, but this is why i joined this site...to learn from others and to offer up some tips now and again!

Telling my age here: 35 years ago, my uncle and I made "POP" molds for Fliptail worms. It was a blast then and I plan on doing it again as some of my favs are becoming extinct again. I can still remember the smell of melting plastic and the mess we made with POP and vaseline!

I saw that but the color sample is nothing like what Zoom's Sweet Potato looks like. Thanks for the link though!!! It will be on my next order and hopefully all I will need is a little black flake

OK color gurus...I posted this in the "Color Cookbook" thread, but thought I would try it here... Zoom's Sweet Potato. I have a good idea where to start, but I thought maybe one/some of you may have mastered this one. Thanks!

Great recipes guys!! Here's one I didn't see and would LOVE to have: ZOOM's Sweet Potato Thanks in advance!

Thanks guys...any word on Caney Creek...I see they are sponsors here so I do like to support the sponsors...

thinking about buying some injection molds from Bears or Caney Creek and pouring trailers for my jigs...this has me concerned...I surely don't want to invest hundreds of dollars into molds to be told to cease production....thoughts?

PM sent

I am looking for the LARGE blades that are anodized....any suggestions?
