  1. I'd mix it in a little at a time with whatever plastisol you're using now.
  2. It's good stuff. I used it when baitjunkys sold it. I liked it.
  3. I had this mold & i shot the 190 mold in medium & then after putting them into the 250 mold i shot the body in hard & they worked great. Shooting just the 250 i'd use hard which will make them stay on the jig head better & since the hooks exposed anyway it isn't going to matter. All my crappie baits i make in hard. My regular bass tubes that i shoot in the angling ai 4" double dipper mold & texas rig them only & i shoot in a 50/50 mix of medium & hard from bait plastics & they work great.
  4. Check out bitters baits if you don't find anybody to pour them. They have a split tail trailer if it works for you.
  5. Send him an email or message through ebay & he'll tell you how much plastic it will take to shoot it. May take a day or two with things like they are in the ukraine but he will get back with you.
  6. Basstackle did sell a 10 ouncer because i bought one once. I'd call them & ask. Also if you happen to have a basstackle dual injector you could always use it if making single color grubs that way you'd be able to shoot 12 ounces instead of 6.
  7. Why not leave them hanging, lying straight or however you choose to let them cure in open air for a few days or weeks ? Does the oil not get absorbed back into the baits? Just asking because i let my baits hang by the sprue on nails in my garage wall & I never have that problem. I have had some that seemed a little oily when first demolding & i hung them up & let them cure & they have always been dry when i got some off of the wall to bag up to use. I usually try to shoot a bunch of each color though so i don't run out so that may be why i don't have a problem because some of mine are hanging for a few months before i use them. This has been with lureworks, bait junkys & bait plastics
  8. I use both green pumpkins DaveMc1 mentioned
  9. As far as plastic goes I've used calhouns that baitjunkys used to sale, lureworks & bait plastics & have settled on baitplastics for the last couple years. I will say that lureworks is some good stuff.
  10. I've never used M-F stuff. I use the 109 myself & really like it.
  11. I like lureworks colorants & glitter & they have good plastic too.
  12. I use lureworks pithalo blue & their aqua marine blue.
  13. I make sapphire blue jig trailers & also black blue flake worms with sapphire blue tails. I also make some baby shad style crappie baits that have a light blue top & some that are sapphire blue bodies with a chartreuse tail. Blue works great in what few baits i use it in.
  14. A soft plastic skirt mold & a hot knife to weld them together works great & you can add skirts to a lot of other baits too.
  15. I've saw where some say that they threaded them through a needle & then pass needle through the bait.
  16. I use medium for everything except tubes & crappie lures. Since i always texas rig tubes i make them by mixing 50/50 medium & hard to make them a little firmer so as not to tear after a bite or on hookset. My crappie lures i make out of hard for durability since their slid up onto a barbed jighead with the hook fully exposed. The crappie lures don't tear nearly as easy from sliding them up onto the barb & can be used a lot longer.
  17. No doubt Rick Jacobs makes some very nice molds & injectors too. I wouldn't hesitate to buy one of his products. I have several of his molds & they are definitely top notch. As far as a dual injector goes i would buy one to do like you said about taking it apart & using it as tow singles. Even though i have a bass tackle dual 6oz. & a single 6oz. I do at times take my dual apart so i can shoot three 6 oz. injectors at a time when i'm pumping a bunch of different baits out at once & it works great. If i was doing it over i'd buy a dual first.
  18. Yep we all go through that but it never ends either so be warned.
  19. Jose welcome aboard. DaveMc1 has you covered pretty well.
  20. Of course you knew this already. Don't know why i was trying to explain it to you. Which i wasn't.
  21. I see a laminate too with a very light green top & a light brown on bottom on their sight when i look up original power worm in camo. May be able to get very close with a small amount of green pumpkin & a drop of florescent lime for the top & a small amount of brown based green pumpkin with a small amount of orange for the bottom. Yellow is also another good color to add to both green or brown based green pumpkin colors to cloud it or brighten it & make a small transparent amount of either into an opaque color.
  22. Can you not lighten up on the lurecraft colorant & get it or back off of it a little & add a little of another colorant?
