  1. I have the Buzz Frog from Bob's Tackle and they may be going up for sale next week.

    Jig Hooks

    You may have to modify a mold designed for an E/C 570 to use a Mustad 32746 as the Mustad has a longer eye leg.
  3. RSNeely, I would go into the local stores and see what the big dogs are doing in your area. Then I would do at least the same. In this area, it doesn't hurt to do more than the minimum. It only takes a little room on your label to be safe.
  4. Kayser Lures Co. has an FG-30 with .018 fibers.
  5. I add varying amounts of pearl to my plastic depending what effect I want. I have never experienced anything like that, but I don't use hard.plastic. I would call spike-it and run it by them.
  6. Cadman, I use my RCBS Promelt. without any problems. Just open it wide open.
  7. Try Mark over at Mustang Wire.
  8. Usually If I am trying to match a color, I start with 1 to 2 drops at a time until I get the color I want. If you asked for a watermelon formula from twenty guys on here you would get twenty different versions.
  9. Can you adjust the flow on your pot? That is one of the first things I look at when this problem arises. I also push the gate up against the nozzle so the lead does not cool as much when exiting the pot. If that does not work and I've done what was mentioned above. I place the hook in the cavity and wave a mini torch over the hook for a few seconds. close the mold and pour. It takes more time. but it works for me.
  10. Cadman, In the smaller size, it looks like the hook really cuts down the available space for the weedguard.
  11. Even if it out of warranty, you can send it back with a check for one half of the purchase price and they will completely refurbish it and issue a new 2 year warranty.
  12. I have some of my wire forms made by Mustang Wire, Small forms like that are really cheap, but you have to order 10,000 if it is not a stock form.
  13. Kayak, Yes you turn the mixer off when filling the injector. The spout or ball valve is for top pouring molds. I have some top injection molds that I can still top pour. This is also used for open molds. I stopped using my micro years ago. As I understand it you can use only one pot or the other for a single color.Hope this helps. The Shooting Star doe not require you to turn tha mixers off when filling.
  14. Looking at it from a soft bait manufacturers point of view, if a bait is too durable it won't sell as many as one that tears easily. I manufacture baits for other re sellers and I had one complain that my worms were too durable. He wanted me to make them softer so that they would tear more easily. So from that perspective you will never get those big companies to bolster their baits.
  15. If you use the hot glue sticks with glitter in them, you don't have to paint the jigs.
  16. You might want to paint your jig green pumpkin and bake it. Then put your eyes on and add a little purple hi-lite to your epoxy and coat your jig. That will give it a purple sheen and not effect the base color too much.
  17. LPO shows a Mustad 37194 BLN that looks pretty close, don't know if it will work for you.
  18. Redfish, That is due to shrinkage, As the plastic cools it shrinks. That is common with large body baits. One thing to try is to hold pressure for a few seconds before taking the injector away.
  19. I like nylon upholstery thread. It is thin, very strong and takes glue well. It comes in many colors and you can find it almost anywhere.
  20. MERRY CHRISTMAS YALL.
  21. What is the big secret? Anyone can buy one of those baits, cut it open and have all the info they need to copy the darn thing.
