How To Keep Plastic Warm After You Heat It In The Microwave?
JRammit replied to Big Ray's topic in Soft Plastics
The clock on our old coffee pot no longer works, so i can't set the timer to have coffee ready when i wake up... This frustrates me -
Nobody said i cant drop into TU while im at work -
I had this same thought.. Only im building my baits and would like a "control group" to compare them too It is OK to post your own thread with questions like this, that way the replies are more focused on your subject... If you are unsure if your question is relevant to the forums, the docks are a safe place to post

Thanks Curt!.... The little teaser bait drives the bluegill crazy, which wasnt my intention, but its fun to watch!
-
Another reason for a second coat is if you are clumsy and drop the lure on the floor while the first is drying

Still worth the watch☺ Homemade Creeper Lure:

Newbie Question- Using One Injector To Do Two Colors
JRammit replied to Little Chardy's topic in Soft Plastics
If you decide to pour multiple bellies ahead of time, then you should try bond coat from spike-it.... The stuff takes close to an hour to dry, but once dry the next color will bond great even if the belly is cold -
On the football side... Maybe a little early, but tonight may well have been a Superbowl preview... And Denver hanled Green Bay like a hammer handles a nail!

Newb Question- How To Get Gloss Look On Both Sides Of Baits
JRammit replied to ChuckDiesel's topic in Soft Plastics
It starts with the master, epoxy will give the master a smooth gloss that transfers to the mold... If your molds are RTV, it ends there If your molds are plaster, there are a variety of sealers that can change the finish of your baits... Epoxy being one of them.... Try a search on sealing plaster molds and you'll find all the other options -
I love your enthusiasm Dale! Reminds me of myself

Yes, Doni seems to have a great attitude.. You are new to the site, but if you stick around you'll find every one else here has the same attitude as Doni This thread was posted to announce and praise the contest winners.... So keeping on subject, great job kaimon!.... I dig the use of the sea shells for fins on the golby! Im one to appreciate out of the box thinking!.... How durable are the shells? They look awesome!

I like the term "origional" over "custom" Even if you can make all your baits identical, they are still different from any other bait in the world! As for performance.. They may be better, they may be worse, or they may just be...... But in the end, my baits are one of a kind, and thats whats in it for me!
-
Colors look great!... Thanks for posting!..... Looking forward to seeing more of your creative designs! -
I just wonder how accurate the eye can be when duplicating baits?? When i get one that runs how i want, i "try" to build more identical to it... The stencils get me pretty close
-
Im no expert on salmon.. All i know is they taste great! But as for predatory fish in general, feeding is not the only reason for striking... Agression, aggravation, territorialism, curiosity and instinct.... In this case, perhaps instinct to eliminate any threat to eggs and/or fry..... Again, no expert, just a theory
-
Ive noticed that the masters i make for soft plastics look alot better than my crank baits I do the masters by eye, and use stencils for every side of the cranks Could be that my eyes are more accurate than my tracing skills.... Or could be that im more patient and taking more time making 1 master vs making 3 or 4 cranks at a time

So no Cubs?... Biff isn't a billionaire??

Spot on!.. Nice job! -
Good stuff Dave..... Each of you are happy, and thats what matters I live with my wife, but rarely see her... She works nights, i work days (days that sometimes extend into nights), sometimes ill see her on the weekends, other times she'll spend her weekend with friends and ill spend mine in the shop or on the lake I take the kids fishing and hunting, she takes them to the movies and special events... You could say our arrangement is strange too... But everyone is happy
