Now if I can figure out a salt ratio for 6 ounces as there is no salt in these. Any suggestions on how much to add? Thanks

This is what I came up with off the top of my head. Needs more glitter, but will be close when I get done.

How do you post pics from iPhone 5 to tackleunderground? Thanks

Thanks guys.

lol thanks

Thanks Leonard. I have been using lureworks junebug 125 & lurecraft black grape, but i'll try the blue & purple thing. Be nice to know how many drops of each in say 6 ounces of your medium. Hint hint. lol

Thanks Leonard i will give that a try. It definitley should help.

Leonard, i totally agree with that. I do think i need some weaker black though or something like was mentioned for a lighter smoke base. 1 drop in 4 ounces & it's very dark & in 6 ounces is better, buy still to dark for what i'm wanting for my tubes for day time use. Any suggestions? Maybe the tooth pick thing? Thanks

Thanks for the tip. I may try that for anything that i want a very light smoke base on. I appreciate it.

What colorant are you using? When i tried using lurerworks violet 193 in my junebug which is what spikeit claimed was used in zooms junebug nowadays they would turn a red tint due to the violet being very heat sensitive.I forget what the exact name was, but that is the only color i've had to do it. It would aslo do it worse the hotter the mold got. I've used their junebug 125 & lurecrafts black grape both for mine now & never have a problem. Just a thought.

Guys, i was using 1 drop of lureworks black 103 i think it is in 4 ounces & it was really dark. I went with 6 ounces & it's a lot better, but still a little on the dark side which is why i asked incase there was something in it i was missing. I may even have to go to 8 ounces with my black to get the lighter shade i'm looking for. Thanks guys

Does anyone have a recipie like the cabin creek smoke purple tubes? Also what would be best for a light smoke color ? Thanks

Using medium plastic mine do too After curing good they still feel spongy from being thicker then the injected bait, but work fine.

I know that the tails on mine suit me.

No the mold is not on the angling ai website. Only on lurecrafts site.

Cut tails today. I will have to say i am really impressed with this mold. As much as i fish tubes it will make it's fair share for sure. If anyone is looking at purchasing a tube mold don't hesitate. Top notch product in every way in my opinion.

I've heard Leonard is great when it comes to customs& the quality is as good as it gets.

I personally don't think you can beat Leonard. Makes top notch products & always takes the time to answer any questions anyone may have. If this is Rick i guess i needn't buy another mold from him for sure.

A baby brush hog & super hog will look different due to the super hog body being bigger in diameter. The tails will look different between the two when help up to a fluorescent light due to tail thickness.

Buy a microwave & some pyrex cups. You'll be glad you did. I bought one & now have several 1 & 2 cup pyrex cups, a digital thermometer, several spoons etc. I now have several molds of baits & trailers that i constantly use for myself & don't regret it a bit. .Infact i just bought a tube mold tonight & a plastic cutter to cut the tails. It's an expensive hobby, but a rewarding one as i haven't bought any baits since i started injecting my own & got the molds i wanted. My buddys get most of theirs from me too since they pretty much use the same things i do. I started assembling my own spinnerbaits & jigs last year to suit me too. There's nothing like catching fish on your own stuff. Especially when you stop at tackle shops & only need a little dye for your tails. Needless to say the walls of my garage look like bass pro shops. lol

I've ordered 2 molds from him & April kept me informed we'll. My molds each shipped within 3 days & a tracking number was provided as well.

I may have been lucky, but I've ordered two 4 inch shz molds from delmart & had each in 3 days. I will continue to do business with him until I get burnt o guess.

I caught over 40 smallmouth last Saturday night in the full moon while my buddys fishing with me caught less then 20 on jigs together. Needless to say they want me to hurry & get the tube mold. Lol I love fishing tubes for smallmouth needless to say & am very confident when I'm fishing one as it is one of my top fishing strengths.

Yes Dave i do. I will also be ordering the tail cutter from lurecraft. Thanks

I getting ready to buy the 4 inch taper tube from angling ai myself. Makes 5 at a time & you can get an extra set of mandrels to speed things up if wanted.
