thanks for the help

with the melt down coming and the lakes are opening up . id like to get a new mold for walleyes looking for a 3in or 4in mold for river fishing walleyes.. my question is who makes the best one for this style of fishing...I know a grub mold would be easy to do and all might look the same ..but what have you used that would work for me..a ring mold would be good to...we are fishing ohio waters off lk erie...intill Detroit river ice flows stop ..then the boat comes out for the real fun...the ohio water is real muddy so id like to make some real good custom colors for myself and buddys....

maybe send the mold back to the maker and see what they can do with it to get it to shoot better for you...call them first before you try to work on it yourself..once you work on it they wont touch it......

continue to buy ur baits at the store....if not you'll be sorry....lol

don't start you"ll be sorry

stay away for doing any plastic heating in your house.......

they should update that picture on the do-it site..its much better in a black ,junebug color fishes great...

I make for myself and few friends...I use to sell on ebay..but ebay took the fun out of it...there price increases killed the resale market...I was buying wholesale from top lure companys..( megabass the biggest ) and got to the point that the profits went right to ebay...for the plastic side of it I had to lower my pricing to sell product because the next guy was cheaper....but I always keep enough product on the boat to sell at the docks.....

buy the best first. then you wont have any trouble. but you got to mix it all well....you get what you pay for in life spend the extra few bucks for a better product...and a better bait...

I soak mine in hot soapy water in the sink then use a scrubby to clean...dishwasher after that....works for me ...

is there really anyone making plank baits in the u.s. ...every bait I have bought say made in china, but I think manns is still made in the usa .

its a dam money pit.....lol you wouldn't like it...

looks to me like a shoe horn that was attached to a piece of wood ... but I just put me shoes on to go shopping....

sales sales sales......lol there is no secret ,, the plastic is soft and after a few nice bass you will be replacing the bait...I offered a idea to knurl the baits insert..i have never fish one so I didn't know but, mark said it to the tee. plastic is soft and the insert will pull out sooner or later.....1 fish ,2 fish 3 fish 4...

im not chapped at all...I don't fish with them . I just offered to make some for the person who started this question...but pissed chapped or what ever you want to say ..im not ..I will look for a good mold and try the bait myself this year to see if it works for me....but most of the bass I catch from st.clair and erie come from tubes and crankbaits....your baits look nice and you did a good job.. but really why are you here..for some to pat you on the back?...pat pat...

funny thing this site is for people to share info.....if you have something that works share it..if not I think you blowing smoke..plastic is soft and ur going to pull out sooner or later like mark said.....I was just offering a idea ti try to help some...

why not just knurl the od when manufacturing the insert..?

I live in Michigan and use a non heated shed in the winter to play around..i have a griddle to get the molds up to temp a micro for the plastic and two pyrex cups for the plastic I have the plate up full 450 I think preheat my cups on the griddle molds and injector to..heat plastic up in cups in the micro at same time get the gloves on mix the plastic well keep heating it and mixing to get the heat even in the plastic then pull the twin off the griddle dump in plastic ,purge and shoot...I get a few shots in before I got to start all over....on the cheap side I go to the salvation army to get my pyrex griddle or anything else....check out franks video on how to use the twin jector look at the griddle he has I made a cover from aluminum plate like what he has to keep the heat in...good luck once I inject I go right outside with the mold to cool it faster....your no going to get much but a few is good DONT HEAT IN YOUR HOUSE OR USE THE SAME MICRO THAT YOU USE FOR FOOD.....

daves right , but if you do it for yourself and keep your mouth closed ..you win....

I have a Mazak cnc lathe that id used to make you some . but im booked intill mid January I need to know what size you want.... length ,od.id I could do a quick 25 if that helps....pm me

dose anyone know if the retailers have the plastic in stock now? im in need of a gal. or have a list of retailors that will be carrying the product..

has anyone tried the new plastic from do-it called essentials yet...well I think its called that..i seen a you tube video on it and was just wondering how good it really is..

I shoot bang in the bag..but that's me.....all garlic..the bass in st clair love it..

wow that's nice longhorn...really nice ...where do you get the wax and what type of wax.....
