Yep clean & lube.

No experience with the 156 mold, but basstackle is good to deal with & they have great molds. See if they'll send you some samples of baits made with that mold.
-
Baitjunkys & lureworks are both good stuff. I also tried a couple different samples that polysol sent me & i liked them awful well too. I wouldn't hesitate ordering from any of the three. Baitjunkys ain't gonna be beat on price though & if you have any questions Leonard is gonna answer. I know this for a fact. lol.

I think Angling archer is posting a pic to help us see it to be able to help figure it out for you.
-
I believe the lureworks gourd 172 could be tweaked a little if needed to get it & may not need to tweak it at all.

Welcome aboard. A very small drop of amber, brown or even yellow may do it depending on the shade you prefer. Post a pic of the color needed as it will give us a better idea of what you're after.

I have 3 molds ordered myself after buying several molds to find something extremely close that worked like these baits do as far as action goes & was totally unsuccessfull. These particular ones are the only style of these baits myself & several buddys use. After reading several pages of reviews from their previous customers i took a chance. Guess i'll form my own opinion after this deal is done as to wether it was worth it or not after recieving them.

I love my 6 oz. basstackle, but i'm gonna buy a 9 oz. too.

Welcome aboard. There are plenty of great lure makers that will help with any questions you may have.

A 3 ouncer should work out aliright for you. I have a Basstackle 6 ouncer & i'm thinking i'm gonna pick up a 3 ouncer for smaller pours. I saw a 9 ouncer somewhere that i may pick up too just to be able to shoot more molds at a time of my favorite baits when i want to make a bunch up at once. .I shoot 2 or 3 molds at once most times, but you have to remember what combo of which ones work. or you'll come up short. The 9 ouncer would eliminate this altogether.

Enforcer molds has some nice smaller tube molds. I have 10 I think it is of his molds & all have been great. Angling ai have great tube molds too.
-
Hope everybody has a great one.
-
Lol oh yeah.
-
I have 18 molds so far & 9 of them are Curts. He does great work & definitley has top notch service & his molds make excellent baits too.
-
I have a couple of enforcers medium ribbon tail worm molds & they make a nice worm for sure. It close to 8" though.
-
Angling ai makes quite a mold don't they ? . Nice looking tubes, but the fish would look way better then the tubes after soaking in some hot oil for a few minutes. lol

There is definitley a wealth of knowledge here for sure with an abundance of fantastic bait makers that will go out of their way to help others. Thanks guys.

Ron thanks. Sounds like a good idea. I’ll check it out. Appreciate the help.
-
Montess, no I don’t have an airbrush setup. I may try the sharpie if I can fine a light enough orange colored one. I thought about nail polish if I can find a real light orange then clear coat it with hard as nails. Thanks.
-
Thanks Travis.
-
Yes they sure are. Thanks for the suggestions guys.
-
Ordered what I thought was bone/ orange belly one knocker spooks & looks like i’m getting plain bone color instead. How would you mist the orange belly on them or for what i’m wanting would you just use a very light orange nail polish? Thanks
-
Good looking craw for sure.
-
I got the mold yesterday & I will have to say i’m impressed. I made 10 straight shots with it & no flashing whatsoever & I like the bait itself too. Great mold in my opinikn.
-
I've had several molds for soft plastics from different manufacturers distort from excessive heat by shooting them over & over.When this happens i usually just shoot some other molds until the others cool off & then you're good to go again for a while.Lead molds are no different according to my buddy that pours a lot of lead. Just the nature of the beast i guess when fooling with aluminium & excessive heat.
