Ok thanks.

Man those look nice. Do you have any pics of what you done to make it a little easier to grasp?

I've had it to turn brown or rootbeer as you said when over cooking it until the point i scorched it, but never had any turn into jello when i did it.

I have a dual 6ouncer basstackle & it's top notch. Basstackle, do-it molds, jacobs mold & machine & quality injector all make them & i'm sure they're more just all oi can think of off the top of my big melon head right now.

From what i've saw they're all different because each company makes them with having both injectors in their specific bracket in mind which inturn is the same as the distance of the injection ports on that companys blending block.

Bass Boys, Josh contacted me & we've got it lined out. As usual great customer service from spikeit.

Can you post a good pic of it?

Bass-Boys, thanks. I'll give it a try. I know it;s the only colorant that i've had do this & it's getting on my nerves.

Does anybody on here use this colorant? I ordered a pint bottle to make a color of worm i use to use & i cannot for the life of me get it mixed up right. I've scraped the sides & bottom of bottle & shook it for an unbelievable amount of time & it still has hardpack & just seems it doesn't get mixed right no matter what i do. I'm wondering if it may possibly be a bad batch? Any suggestions? Thanks

I have hand dipped oiled sections of pin flags cut to the length needed & inserted them into molds then after shooting pulled the pin flags & have a redneck core shot.

I've used lureworks, calhouns & baitplastics. I'm using baitplastics right now, but i'd say lureworks medium in the box is my favorite all the way around. Baitplastics medium is a little soft for me on some baits so i add some hard to it & it does great. I just realized a 2014 thread was revived.

I tried the silicone molds, but never liked the baits from them because they didn't seem to get as firm as those from aluminum to me. This could have all been in my mind however. I got rid of mine, but if i buy any more they'll more then likely be the composite ones. I have some of the artificial stone molds & the finish isn't as bright & shiny as the aluminum molds, but they make very good lures. You can tweak your recipe & make them look pretty much identical. I make a lot of jig trailers out of them & make colors like zooms ruby red, sapphire blue, green pumpkin & rootbeer pepper green & they look just as good & pretty much identical to them. The do-it essential series molds are also a very good affordable option. The lures won't be as shiny as a cnc machined mold, but every bit as good a lure.

There is all kinds of molds for them & if that's what you use most then for sure buy them first. I throw brush hogs & super hogs a lot so my first mold was the bastackle 4.5 bt flipping hog( brush hog. My next two were Delmart 4"shz molds( super hog) then it escalated from there. Now i have a bunch of different ones & several different jig trailer molds too. Main thing is to not go to crazy or you'll spend some major bucks way quicker than you want to.

That & you'll have buddys wanting them too.

No i ordered the yellow 116.

What baits do you throw the most?

If you do buy plastic & buy 5 gallons a time you will have all kinds of remeltable sprues after a little while. I keep mine in left over coffee cans (atleast 20) under the bench in my garage & use it as needed.

Spikeit had bright yellow , golden yellow & yellow so i just got that. I think it will work pretty good for what i'm going to do with it.

Yep i know. I have some chartreuse pumpkin colorant, but no straight chartreuse.

no matter it's gone now & i ordered a small bottle of yellow from spikeit.

Maybe with the right chartreuse.

Does anyone have a recipie that's close to zooms tomato like in their super chunk ? I ordered lureworks tomato red thinking it would be close, but it's not by a long ways.I also mixed redbug, white & yellow & got close,but it doesn't have the faint yellow hue that zoom does. Thanks

I used some aircraft paint stripper & it cleaned them a lot better than i figured it would. I layed them on the ground in the sun & sprayed them down & took an acid wash brush to each mold & really scrubbed them. Left a grey aluminium residue where they were laying. I then dried them & shot them & the first shot brought the remaining paint residue off. The next round of baits were shinier then they were when new. Hopefully they stay this way.
