    You can use just about any style of worm you can think of. I prefer a 6" trick worm but have often downsized to a 4" finesse or magnum finesse worm when the bite is extremely tough. The kvd dream shot also works well with this rig.

    When I first started making baits, stick baits were always the trickiest baits to get right simply because it's so much plastic per bait that you have to be really aware of your temps to ensure you're not getting dents, air pockets, etc. Your baits are looking great! Looks like you've got it figured out.

    If you're like me, you just have to have both. I like the 702 on a Texas rig that I'm dragging as well as a Carolina rig but I prefer the 706 on a pegged Texas rig for flipping and pitching or as a jig trailer. It's all personal preference after a lot of time and experimentation into what works best for you.

    I have never had a problem with this unless the plastic was scorched to the side.

    I've had 3 different brands, Do It, Bears and now Bait Junkys and I prefer the Bait Junkys by far.

    I have only used magnum flukes, big grubs and big swimbaits. Most of the time we're hand lining big live shiners though.

    Which mold do you have by chance and are you hand pouring or injecting your baits?
  8. Bassinfool
    The 2 cavity molds being aligned opposite each other on either side of the runner, not on the same side being above/below the other. As for how much to pour into the cavity before injecting your second color this will require some trial and error but shouldn't be too terribly difficult. Good luck and remember to post your results!

    I prefer the do it ribbon tail worms personally.

    Top inject molds are better for making laminates, but I've never had a problem getting consistent laminates with side injection molds as long as they're set up correctly. I prefer my side inject molds over my top inject simply because it's a one and done deal instead of injecting each bait individually.

    I think this is what you're looking for. http://www.btsmolds.com/craw/711-craw

    Bear has a flat sided trick worm that makes a good bait that you may want to look at.

    I would try shooting cooler, hold pressure for just a few seconds and then move to your next cavity and repeat making sure to come back and top off. If that means you are only able to do 2 baits at a time but they come out right, so be it. If that doesn't work, I would try adding a few more vents and then try shooting cooler again.

    Some people like the string cut, but it's just not appealing to my eye and since I make baits mostly for myself that matters hah. I think you'll be happy with either the square or hex cut flake.
  15. Bassinfool
    I like the square cut for my .035 flake. Anything smaller and I don't really care what shape it is as long as it isn't string cut.
  16. Bassinfool
    How much will be trial and error. I always added my salt before heating (I no longer use it) because adding it after heating seemed to cause more issues with air bubbles, bubbling in general as well as problems with cooling the plastic and clumping.

    Your bank account will hate you forever lol

    I've never been a Corona fan myself. Now, a good hoppy IPA is something I can get behind!

    My version is a light pumpkinseed with w few drops of green pumpkin with black flake on one side and a chartreuse pepper on the other. I've also made it with a black plastic with chartreuse flake on one side in place of the chartreuse pepper which came out looking really good as well.

    What kind of places usually offer these services?
  21. Bassinfool
    Minimum time for me is 24 hours, but prefer as much time as I can let them sit which is sometimes a week or so. Like flattie said, if you don't bag them correctly they'll kink and bend regardless.
  22. Bassinfool
    4.5" is ideal, that's what mine is. You're going to be waiting a minute for that 702 craw mold unfortunately.
  23. Bassinfool
    Definitely prefer the baitjunkys plastic over the essential series.
  24. Bassinfool
    3" brush hog is really small. If it were me, I would want the 6" bait. You can always cut it down and make it smaller if you want.
  25. Bassinfool
    It definitely makes me more efficient. Everyone has a few odd colors thrown in their bags, as do I, but day in and day out the basic colors like I've listed above are what I have the most confidence in and what I believe will catch the most fish. Doesn't mean you won't see me throwing a morning down worm every now and again on a drop shot, but most likely it's going to be watermelon red or green pumpkin blue flake.
