Sorry pete, just re-read your thread and realized that you said 2 peice mold. I may be (probably am) wrong in saying that you cant do a 2 peice with RTV. Anyone able to clarify?

Pete, its sounds like RTV is your best bet here. I know Del sells it, check it out... http://www.del-mart.com/shop/product.php?productid=16579&cat=335&page=1

Bump, Thanks man! I appriciate it. -
Awesome! Is that gold hi-lite in there? As usual, awesome job. -
Poured these and thought they came out well, please give any and all input!

Like most of the LC molds, I wanna say that its a one piece. Although, for what LC is asking for it, I should hope it's a 2 piece. Kinda' cool that it's molded from an actual bluegill though.

Very nice man! I'm loving that color. -
Yum, in whatever color is probably going to stain your baits. Years ago I used it on baits and frequently had issues with my lighter colored baits taking on a purple hue. I'd suggest talking to Ted from HappyTime Hand Pours (user name - Happytimehandpours). He uses Upperhand Hawg and Bass Sauce and tells me that its very good. Drop him a line, I'm sure he could give you some good info.

One Sock is at it again! Awesome results. I see you mentioned it possibly being a good color on Castaic, which made me wonder if you've ever/ever thought about doing a rainbow trout color??? I'd bet willing to be that a 7 inch stick in rainbow trout would kill em' on Castaic. -
My first try at alternate tail colors. Tell me what you think! -
I've been pouring for a few months now and simply put, I love it. I've found myself growing creepily fond of the buzzing neon shop lights that hang overhead as I prepare myself for the in-fisherman "how Brad Hardy re-invented the stick bait" article and sponsorship requests from Ike, KVD, and the rest of the gang sporting boats packed with "Lip Ripper Sticks".... Well, perhaps the last part is just wishful thinking. Anyway, I pour a lot of stick baits, and due to the weather here in PA, tomorrow will be the first day nice enough to have any shot at a smallie on a stick bait. Hence, I haven't really seen my stick baits in the water. I am however told by many hand pour-ers that a hand poured stick bait (if poured with the correct ratios of salt, softener) will out-perform a GY senko any day. I'd very much like to know why this is. Any help? Thanks

awesome work man. -
Has anyone ever explored pouring a jig with a "leverage system" style hook like those found on Boyah's chatter bait? For those who have not seen what they call a "leverage system", it's simply a peice of cable that connects the hook to the head, thus (dare I say) preventing fish from throwing the hook. I've also seen this on a spinnerbait but do not recall on which I've seen it. Just wanted to know if there was a mold available for this? -Brad
