Without a doubt. He makes some outstanding looking tubes.

I tried medium & it was a little soft for me so I mixed 50% medium & 50% hard & it's better. I'm going to try a few with straight hard next, but I just haven't got around to it yet with work, mowing hay & fishing.

I have lurecraft too. Go as light or as dark as you want.

I made a press made somewhat like the lurecraft press except heavier duty & attached their deluxe plastic cutter to it. I dip each tube in worm oil before I cut them & it does a pretty good job. As far as the mold goes I really like it. It has the option to have 1/2" solid heads if you want & yes the rids(5) come with it. I ordered an extra set too, but haven't used them yet. Just oil rods before you put them in the mold & there will be no problem removing the baits from them. I take an art brush & just apply a thin coat to them & have no problem whatsoever. Here's a pic of the press. Don't know why it posted sideways, but you get the idea anyway.

Black grape instead of Junebug colorant does make a nice looking junebug too.

I just rotate mine from sitting on the bottom of the jug to sitting on the top & it does fine. Before i make any baits i just gently shake so i don't make bubbles & don't have to wait for them to dissapate & works fine.

I would if i had time, but the angling ai 4" double dipper tube is the only tube mold i have. They aren't really double dipped it is just made to look like it. It does make good tubes though.

Are you by chance using to much colorant ? My glitter which is also spikeits kelley green has never had the least bit of blue look from their junebug.

I normally Texas rig with tails together when the fish are funky & lots of times the gliding fall will get hit. Usually if splitting tails on them is working for my buddy I usually catch more on brush hogs then. You can rig them on jighead, shakey head or any other way you can think of too.

I have several from him myself & yes he does make excellent molds at a great price with great customer service as well.

I went with injection molds & it's really easy when you/re first starting. Hand pouring definitley isn't nearly as easy & takes a lot of practice to get decent at which i haven't yet myself. after pouring for awhile. If i were you i'd go with injection to start unless of course you're bound & determined to hand pour. If so be ready to be disapointed until you get the hang of it. Good luck.

I've sold my angling ai mold & am going with 4 of the encorcer c b 400 molds.

Sold, please remove.

Mike thanks. That helps a lot & i appreciate it.

Thanks

Thanks guys. I'm trying to trade an angling ai 6 cavity super bacon mold for some now. I like the looks of enforcers cb 400 too. How does the stinger compare as far as action goes to a sweet beaver? Thanks

What are some of the better yet economical beaver style molds that you guys have experience with? don't really want anything over 4 inches in length & want something with the option to leave tails attached together. Thanks

Spikeits sp 156 like Frank mentioned is some good stuff for sure.

I've ordered several times weekends & all & never had a problem.

Yep, I've read all about the last get penetration thing. All I know is they'll hammer them when they won't black/ blue or black/ red or plain old black & all of this is happening at night too.

Looks good.

Montess you're definitley right about it being an ugly color, but the smallmouth hammer them behind a black/red or olive orange hair jig here when they won't touch anything else. Even the same hair jigs without a trailer. I don't know what it is about them, but they will about rip the rod out of your hand with them. Lol

Thanks guys. Had to add 2 drops lurecraft white & 4 drops lurecraft yellow to 15 drops lureworks cherryseed 120 to match it. As you can tell they definitley need a little trimming as i'm needing something else to handpour from & a whole lot less shaking going on when doing it too. lol

Tried to get very close to zooms ruby red . The zoom is in the middle.
