It's amazing... I see guys complaining that the BT injectors are too thick and too hard to heat up, then they praise the do-it injectors because they cool off so quickly LOL. I have never had to preheat my molds or injectors (although I don't shoot baits in temps lower than 35 degrees) and have found that the BT injectors warm up after 2 or 3 shots and stay nice and warm (because of the thick material). Maybe someone could explain to me why they think the locking tip is a bad thing?
-
I prefer the bass tackle injector, but any of the ones with a locking pin to hold the tip on are good.

John Coyle at MGM was a good friend of mine. You could also add Arnold Fancelli at Mother's Finest to that list.
-
You can do it either way. I prefer to use the lam plate (I've done both ways) because you get single color sprues that you can reuse and it keeps the lines cleaner.
-
I'm pretty sure that bait is from a BT 544 mold. Here's one from my mold.
-
Couldn't agree more! Never had anything but outstanding service from Ultra Molds.
-
Lots of machine time cutting those thin ribs...

See how many you can make with a cup and multiply by 16. That will get you close, although the actual number will be a little higher.

That looks like a worm Barry Ng of Rainbow Worms up in Redding, Ca pours. He calls it "the ugly worm". I think I still have some somewhere in the shop.

I have the BTS 635, which is 3.5 inches and it swims well at slow speeds on an 1/8 oz head.
-
I just give the o rings a wipe with worm oil. Seems to work so far...
-
Don't you think you should try them first?
-
Maybe this should be debated on a machinists forum. Folks here are more concerned with the glue to water ratio to seal a pop mold...
-
You're right Dave! My memory (or what's left of it) got them all crossed up. It was the poly one from Del that gave me fits. I used Chemionics when Bear was selling it and really liked it.
-
I tried a couple gallons when Del was selling it and it didn't work well for me.

If some company had sand blasted their molds and introduced a "new textured, lifelike finish" and then some well known pro had won a major tournament on it, guys would be finding ways to rough up their molds and we wouldn't be having this discussion... LOL

Is Kevin or Bob having a Black Friday sale? I thought I saw an email about it, but now I can't find it.
-
Are you sure that grub is a yamamoto? I've never seen one of theirs with that much flash on it.
-
Or you can tie the two ends down right behind the eye with the kink away from the hookpoint and have one like the gamakatsu wide gap finesse weedless hooks.
-
Did you mean "per 4 oz"?
-
Try Do-it's x2 blue flek 2

Anise is a plant, similar to parsley. It has a very strong licorice smell and has been a very popular fish attractant for a long time. The original Fish Formula II had a slight anise smell. I use it in a lot of baits and like every other scent, I can't say if it makes a definite difference, but I know for sure it doesn't hurt.
-
I may try the doubled weed guard, to see if it's flexible enough to let the plastic bait pass without gouging a huge hole. It is...
-
Why is that?
