Happy Thanksgiving everyone. We hope you have a Blessed Day!!

Those are some Big Ole Nice Tubes. Great Work

Diisononyl phthalate (DINP) is a phthalate used as a plasticizer.It is common in most Liquid Plastics therefore it is not going to make the plastic turn hard. Most call it Worm Oil as it has been used in applying to the outside of our baits before we bag them. Even using it on what we call Green Plastic or Phthalate free plastic it will still not make the plastic hard. Mineral Oil will react to the plastic as will a lot of other oils and will cause adverse effects on the baits.

We Use DINP Worm Oil to break down all of our Scents. It does not make the plastic hard.

If you do not drill all the way through the mold I doubt it will make a bump.

Glad we could help you Mick.Give me a shout if you have any questions.

I replied to your email mick

Jerry this is your forum and you run it as you see fit. As far as the comment I made it was a Joke maybe you should look at the laughing face I put at the bottom of the post I never once called anyone out. This Cry Baby you got on here Ghost Baits always make stuff to what it is not. He talks about hijacking post someone post a picture of my swim bait and he post pics of his. Then I make a funny about something and it blows out of proportion. I never called anyone out. I have been slammed on here more time than I care to count by Ghost Baits. I work my butt off with my business , I pay money to advertise here and can not even promote my products. So Jerry you run your business as I see fit and I will continue to run mine as I see fit. Seems there is one person on here Ghost Baits that is always stirring Shit and he gets by with it as long as he is not challenged. How many altercations has he had on this site Jerry? He is Shit Stirrer that thinks he is better than everyone else. I owe Ghost Baits Nothing. So as far as I am concerned you are correct the shit stops here!! I am done with TU. You can delete my account ban me or whatever you want. I will not be called a Liar by Ghost Baits here or any where else. I have spoke my peace and have nothing more to say about it. Delete my account and cancel my ads here. I will promote my business elsewhere. As much as I have enjoyed being here and as much as I have learned I suppose it is time I bow out. I do not need it. Seems every time I come on here lately I have to get in to something with Ghost Baits. I have had enough. Thanks for the service you have supplied me to date and I wish you luck in the future. So Long TU now maybe Ghost can rest easier that Bear Is gone. Find someone else to call a liar and complain about Ghost!!

LOL Like I said what A Loser You Have My Number USE IT or Shut The Hell UP

Well Mr. Ghost maybe in your eyes it is uncalled for but in mine it is not. He does not think for himself. He copy's others ideals. look through his mold collection he has copied a lot of our stuff and others. HE IS A COPY ARTIST PERIOD!! I sent him emails but he does not respond. As far as you I really do not care what you think. You do not run my business and I do not need you telling me what is right and wrong. I simply made a statement that was not a Lie and if you do not like my Post please do not read them. If I posted something untrue prove it look at his hollow body swim bait, Look at his side ports Look at his injectors look at his tip molds. Dont come off telling me I lie you have no clue!! We have set a Standard and they are playing follow the leader regardless if you like it or not. I did not Blast No One I Made A TRUE statement.Do not come on here and call me a Liar! I have about had enough of your crap! You Have a Problem with me CALL ME 9845-969-1390 and You Know I will answer my Phone!! Shezzzzzzzz what a loser!

I think it is more like follow the leader. Seems to happen pretty regularly with them.

4.5" You can dip or paint the insert then shoot the bait then dip if you chose. Very versatile.

On the green glitter turning blue. The only time I have seen it do that is in JuneBug Colorant. The Emerald Green Glitter looks blue in Junebug. The Kelly Green works much better in Junebug with no Turning blue.

1st off I am not getting into who's is better and neither should you guys. Everything has it place in this industry. Just a few months back people were telling us what we were doing was all wrong.It was dangerous and to costly. Now look at what you have available to you. Tools that work for everyone. Tools that improve the appearance and quality of our baits. Tools that increase our productivity ,and make this enjoyable and productive . We tried hooking the injectors together but, they did not fit our process. We found through our trial and error that we could keep the injectors separated so they would be easier and less time consuming to use and still get good results in doing so. I know for a fact that when the injectors are linked together as Kevin has these they will do a better job. The reason for this is is takes some of the user input out and makes the process of getting the laminate more consistent. This comes at a price, the price being the time it takes to take everything apart and put it back together again. Our design is much quicker but requires more user input to get the best results. Our 1st Injectors had screw in nozzles and everybody hated them. When using salt they would lock up, they were time consuming and cumbersome to unscrew when they are hot. The push in nozzles are fast and still very safe when used with common sense. To keep from pushing the nozzle back into your plastic why not do as they were designed to have done with them and hold the nozzle with your gloved hand and then purge back into heat source. That eliminates having to fish your nozzles out of hot plastic.. Our products we try to make fast and efficient but yes they do require a little more user input but if you are willing to put the effort into learning how to use them they are way more productive.

Rebbecca emailed me and Informed me of this.Friday. I am saddened to hear of this as he was still a young Man. Bruce you will be missed my friend and this industry has lost a great mentor. Our condolences to his family. Bear

I received an email informing me that spikeapike had passed away? Can anyone let me know if this is true or not?

Robalo The mold has vents machined on the face of the mold so the mold is vented. I have shot quite a few of these and do not have to change the way I shoot the molds. I have not had anyone else have this problem that I know of yet. Give me a call tomorrow and I will do what it takes to get you going. Maybe something is wrong with the mold and I need to swap it out. I do not know what is going on with it as I have not any complaints before this one. I wish I could tell you what was going on with it but I do not know. Call me and I will swap the mold out and try that. Bear 985-969-1390

It is a finer crystal than the popcorn salt.

mainbutter The salt we have is the finest crystal that we could fine. I do not like the floured salt as like posted above the color takes more colorant to get where you want to be. I do not remember the size of the crystal that we have but it was the smallest crystal that we could fine and we searched for 3 months.

I know it may sound like it will not make much difference but.......This valve with the one less fitting rather than using the bushing and the valve makes a pretty big difference. I use the pot a lot and do not have any issues with any of the compounds of plastic.

Mainbutter You asked a question that has people answering from 2 different sides of the fence, Hand Pour Versus Hand Injection. Some people have used hand Injectors and not had very good success. Main reason they had products that were not designed properly, or they were not educated on how to use the products they had properly. You nor can anyone else on here take a hand poured 5 cavity Stik Bait Mold and produce more baits than you can with a 5 Cavity Hand Injection Mold Period. The Benefits of the Hand Injected molds Advantages Of Hand Injection 1. Speed 2. Finish of Baits The Glitter Suspends Better 3. Less Rejects (Dents and Such) 4. Can Inject Cooler which results in Better Colors and Glitter Appearance.+ A little shorter de-mold time Disadvantages Of Hand Injection 1.Cost added because of Hand Injector 2. ???????? I would like to hear some of the disadvantages of this method from you guys that say hand poured is as good or better than Hand Injection. I do not understand How something that is faster, makes better looking baits with less rejects can be worst than doing hand poured molds? You will use the same process for heating and mixing your plastic.The largest difference here is is the price of the Injector .

Same to you and yours LongHorn hope you have a safe trip!!

Greg I think you will be fine with that one. They all pretty much work the same and as long as it is in temp range which it is, it should work fine for the price.")

Congrats on your AOTY Title Dinsane.
