"Just for personal" use does not get you around patent infringement. The patent covers direct connection between the hook and head. I had a friend that owned a tackle company and he tried to get around it by using a piece of wire attached to a spinnerbait hook molded into the head and then connected directly to the blade. He got a C&D letter from Zman.

What Is Patent Infringement? When someone sells, imports, uses, or makes a product that someone else invented without permission, patent infringement has occurred. From here: https://www.upcounsel.com/patent-infringement While Zman likely wouldn't go after a guy in his garage making a couple of baits for personal use, it is still patent infringement.

I always add glitter after heating. In fact, on a new batch of plastic I'll take it up to 350, add my colorant and then wait for it to get down to 325 - 330 or so before I add glitter.

You can also find the old barbed keepers like on the mister twister keeper hooks with that search.

You'll find that everyone has a plastic they prefer. Try different ones until you find what you like.
-
After you get the big stuff out, spray the inside with wd-40 and wipe them out with a paper towel or rag.

And we both know that in reality, the fish don't care near as much as we do... LOL

If you have th actual bait in hand there is some .008 red in it. It's Very hard to see in the photo. I think Driftwood is right on the fuschia but the green is greener than chartreuse (at least any chartreuse I have) but a tad yellower than any of the greens I have.
-
For those familiar with this color what flake colors are in it besides red and black? Interested to see what folks think, especially what color they think the green flake is.

Grab a cheap microwave... it's much more user friendly.
-
Maybe it's semantics. I'm not sure. Maybe I have a lack of comprehension. If I take a cup out of the micro and it's 350 in the middle and 320 after I stir it, I heat it the next shot like it's 320 degree plastic, not like plastic that "was" 350 at one point.
-
I don't care what the temp is in the middle of the cup, I care about what the temp is once it's stirred. If you see 350 in the middle pre stir with your probe,, are you going to call it ready?

So far I'm pleased with polysol. I accidentally had a batch get to almost 400 (on my ir thermometer) and it didn't yellow. I also like that is seems to have a dry finish, as opposed to MF whick seems to get a little oily after a while.
-
Take it apart and clean it. Then lightly lubricate the o-ring with worm oil.

I've only broken 1 cup, and I dropped that one on a concrete floor. I've always stirred with metal table knives so I'm not sure why I'm so lucky... I do make it a point to only set hot cups of plastic on wood or a heated metal surface.
-
I used quite a bit of MF, but have recently switched to baitplastics (polysol). Everybody has one or two they prefer, you just need to try them and find what works for what you do.

I'm a lefty (usually the root of most of my issues LOL). It's not the hook point or the whip finish tool. I can start a few wraps and pull straight out and will see "hairs coming off the thread. I'm thinking the ceramic tip may be grooved but I can't see it by looking.
-
I read somewhere (I think it may have been on the WD40 website that it isn't fish oil based. I have heard that it works as an attractant though.

I'm trying to love the Danville 210 denier flat waxed nylon but it's always been a pain. I got to looking closer today as I was tying some jigs and it looks like it's frayed coming out of my bobbin. I currently use a couple ceramic tipped bobbins and both of them are doing it. What bobbin are you guys that use this stuff regularly using. Thanks
-
I don't know if it would freeze since it's oil based.
-
Glad to hear it.

I'm sure he'll work with you on it. If it was intended to be injection the sprue was obviously cut incorrectly and I imagine he'll re-cut the mold for you..
