It is a functioning bait.....I've been pouring them solid but want to make it like the manufacture does.it is not possible to dip it ....it has to be top pour mold....thanks for the input guys .

I'm pouring a hollow body swimbait and have an insert I made to make the hollow cavity.I made it out of JB weld and the plastic is sticking to it.I'm thinking of coating it with Devcon...any thoughts on this ?

Can anyone give me an idea of the what type of colors used in this , what kind of coloring is the blue translucent ??? Florescent?

Did a search and didn't find anything, has anyone made a diffuser to spread the air flow out on the bottom of a fluid bed ? how did you make it if you did . i'm thinking of securing a thin piece of ridged plastic to the bottom of my powder cup and dripping a bunch of small holes in it ,

So besides a football head what is your favorite hear for spider grubs???? I fish alot of rip rap and an am looking at a round head gammie mold from DO it. I like lighter weights and seem to have less snags with a modified wacky rig mold ( a lighter weight ) i made and that mold is the closest i can find ... any thoughts ?

Thanks for the info Guys , what do you mean by "Flux Over " , like the paint will go smooth and shiny ?

Does anyone have any input on this mold ? Its dels skirt mold.... I hand pour but am interested in making custom spider grubs , I have been buying Yamamoto skirts and attatching them but i would be willing to put the $ out to make my own colors if the mold shoots good ....... well i cant get it to post but it's the 3 3/8 24 strand round skirt mold .

Thanks Guys ...... another ??? I'm using a heat gun to pre heat my jigs .... is there a preferred temp to set it on ? how long do you pre heat it for ?

I'm looking to start powder coating my jigs and want to get some stuff from Columbia coatings, they have tons of stuff but its hard to tell the true colors from the pictures and don't want to spend a bunch of cash for swatches ,I'm looking for a matte black , matte brown(darker) and a matte dark olive green ....any have any suggestions of specific colors ? or some pictures they can upload of stuff they have done using Columbia's stuff .... also is there a better type to use , Whats the difference between TGIC ,polyester ,urethane ....are any one of them better for coating jigs?

Sweet ...I have one right up the raod .thanks Bro 1 down 3 color s to go

I've been making jigs for a while and want to get into powder coating . From what I've read Columbia is a good place to purchase from . I have a couple ???? First , am I correct in assuming that if unless otherwise stated their prices are per pound Second , I am limited on my initial $$$$ purchase , I am looking for 3 colors ( A Matt black a darker Matt brown and a darker Matt green ) and its kinda hard to tell from the pictures so can anyone give me some of their preferences . Third , Are all their products usable in a fluid beds .Thanks

sweet ...thanks !

Has anyone mixed soft palstic hilites with epoxy to top coat jigs ? does it reflex light like it does in soft platics ?

Thanks for the input guys ....hey SmallJaw...what's the Technic to spray it on ? do you dip your base coat and then just spray or do you dip and reheat and spray ?

Hi guy's ,I have been making tackle for several years and I am looking to get into powder painting jigs for more durability .I've been airbrushing them and coating with 2 ton but they don't hold up too good . So i have a couple ??'s 1. Are all powder paints about the same durability ? If not what are your suggestions for the best . 2. I saw some posts about getting the paint from "non fishing " suppliers such as auto powder paint .are they applied the same way ? Just to the manufacturers baking specs . 3. Does anyone mix their powder paints to get custom colors ? 4. has anyone used the Big jig armor paints from fishing skirts.com if so are they worth the money? 5.And last but no least , how hard are they to airbrush ? I am fairly good at it and am just looking to get a 2 tone paint scheme between the top and bottom of the jig .

I'm trying to get an effect like The FX series from Robo Worms , can anyone tell me if they use Hi-Lites or Pearl .I think it's Hi-Lites but want to be sure before i order some . Thanks

Has anyone tried curing pop molds in the microwave?

Nice , I like the clear with the gold flake, can I ask what kind of plastic you used, hard ,med or soft , I just poured a test mold of a swimbait like the 316 mission fish and it gets some tail movement but not what im looking for. I used some remelted senko's , the mold came out nice but too soft to swim I think.

should it be done that way with any baits that have arms/flippers/etc. ? and how large of a hole should i try 1/8 " 3/16 " ?

I'm just getting started and have some ?'s about 2 part molds , do i always need to vent 2 part molds and if so where is the best place on the mold to do , im starting with 2 types , one is a stick bait , another is a beave type bait.
