One more thing, Joe, tell your client Reaction Innovations that the only thing RI baits are good for is to remelt them and make senkos.

I'm a lawyer, and some say, "it takes one to know one". I better buy a skinny dipper mold from Basstackle before Joe starts messing with him!
-
Asking about skinny dippers, but doesn't know what it looks like....I find it hard to believe you are not a patent lawyer that doesn't fish.

Based on my experience, you don't have to be precise about it. I think the baits I've been making will out senko a senko. One thing you can do is after you melt old plastics, save the hard bottom part of the plastic, cut it up into chunks, then melt that. No extra salt required.

I don't remember the last time I bought crayons, if I ever have, but I am getting a box of them soon. I just hope I can find a box of green pumpkin crayons.

Speaking of not liking salt in baits, I agree. I have been melting my old plastics, zoom, senkos, sweet beavers, etc, and after it cools, I cut the bottom of it out. Apparently, most of the salt and glitter sinks to the bottom. I'm saving all the bottoms that are full of salt and glitter for making stick baits, and the rest of it is salt and, for the most part, glitter free plastic to be used for making saltless baits.

I just bought some molds from Caney Creek Molds and Bears Baits. Very pleased with all of them. I really like the creature baits and frog I got from Caney Creek Molds, and Bear's 4" swimbait is the best swimbait of that size I have ever fished with.

I recently received a senko mold from Del, and it is awesome. Unlike the other 3 senko molds I bought off of ebay--they are used K Molds--Del's senko mold actually works. Usually, I end up with 4 great baits, and the size of the bait is exactly like the Yamamoto senko. The K Mold senkos are skinny, and I usually pour one good bait out of 12 attempts. I highly recommend Del's senko mold to anyone that likes to fish with senkos.

Adding Bear's Scent To Hot Plastic?

Thanks to all. zToday, I added some night crawler scent I bought from Bears to hot plastic, and now the plastic smells like a power worm. -
Adding Bear's Scent To Hot Plastic?
Dirt-Town-Dawg replied to Dirt-Town-Dawg's topic in Soft Plastics
Thank you. -
BTW, I've already searched the board for an answer, but still confused. I don't want the plastic to explode on me, so please tell me whether it is safe to add the scent I bought from Bears directly to the hot plastic prior to pouring, or even to the cool plastic prior to heating. Thanks.

Those look great. I am trying to figure out how to do that.
-
Well, I guess I didn't know that the mold was not supposed to be clamped shut. When I finally just poured into the BearsBaits Kodiak mold without a clamp, the bait came out perfect every time. I hooked the first one up on my flippin rod. I like the way the bait looks, and it has good weight. I'm looking forward to receiving the other two molds I ordered from Bearsbaits.
-
I bought a mold from Bearsbaits--the 4.25 inch Kodiak--and I received it today. I noticed that the mold did not close completely tight, and I guess I should have bought a clamp, but I didn't. However, while in my boat/fishing garage tonight, I noticed the Winchester Sight Vise that I bought last year when I needed to sight in a rifle. The two clamps on the rifle vise are perfect mold clamps too.

Thanks. I was leaning that way too, but just wanted to check. I did pick up one of the plastic cups for measuring out stuff, but not to heat plastic. As I stood in line, I looked down at the measuring cup and 3 baking pans I was holding, and thought about how that was probably the first time I'd ever bought stuff like that.
-
That's right TBait. Here at Lake Oconee, Georgia, a flat sided beaver style bait may be even better than the original because it would probably skip better under the docks. I need to make a mold of a compact beaver style bait that skips a mile and shows out on the way down to the bottom. <*)}}}><

I just went to a store to look for pyrex measuring cups, but they only had plastic, mircrowave safe cups. The pouring spout looked very good on the Sunbeam cup I saw there. Have any of you had any problems with heating plastic in a plastic cup that is microwave safe? Thanks

Jim, I think I am going to order some of the Ghost Bait frogs, PT Killers, and Bug baits. They look awesome! Your bug bait looks better than a Sweet Beaver. Looks like it would have alot more leg action on the fall. Jim Oxford
