walleyeking

Almost any will work. Round head, football, teardrop, walleye head. I use a lot of football heads myself because I fish relatively slow and the football head doesn't fall over on its side when you set it down on the bottom. If you like the wire keeper the teardrop mold is real nice for plastics also.

Pearl ex works great. You can probably get it at an art store

The stinger swimbait and the 669 stinger are very similar baits. The 669 can be laminated and the tail is flat the horizontal way and the stinger swimbait can not be laminated and the tail is flat the vertical way. Both are great baits and the 16 cavity tail mold is only around $20 so it's worth buying.

Bass tackle 2.4" stinger swimbait. And get the tail mold. It's cheap and works Awesome. Do-it 2.5" swim fry. And Do-it mayfly are both killer crappie baits too.

I have a griffin Montana mongoose and it's Fantastic. It holds tight for everything from #18 fly hooks up to 7/0 1.5 oz jigs tied with bucktail. Might even work for bigger stuff but I haven't tied bigger yet.

Smalljaw is right the line grip swivel is a #7 so I would assume that size of regular swivel would work, but I have not tried to fit any other than the line grips in the mold so not 100% sure.

I use the 3.5" finesse worm as a drop shot bait. It is basically a 3.5" carrot with a little more taper at the end. I shoot it in straight plastic and it has great action. I fish it for walleyes and smallies and it works great.

Just to add to the info. I've been using VMC 9147 hooks in the Midwest finesse mold and they fit great.

Unfortunately the ones around me don't seem to put it in the same area. It's kind of random. It is usually in a little display of its own. Hoby lobby doesn't carry a lot of colors. I bought a kit of I think 25 of the 2 gram sizes wich isnt much but let's you get an idea of what colors you like on ebay. Then after you determine what colors you want just buy the 4 oz sizes online.

I'm curious myself. Never heard this before.

Yes. This is exactly what I was gonna suggest. If you have pinch smidgen dash spoons put a dash in 4 oz of plastic and you will be happy.

I like the ripper too. Ya it's a bit expensive but the quality is there. I like the profile and it shoots great. A multi cavity would be nice and sounds like it's in the works.

Powder paint that we use for jigs works just fine also. I also use alot of pearl ex powders from the art stores.

Only thing I can think of is a possibility of a build in breaker. Is it plugged directly into the wall? I'm no electrician so I don't know the techical stuff but I know some things you can't use a extension cord for. My buddy had a fish fryer that would do just what your talking when using an extension cord. We plugged it directly into the wall and the problem went away. Do you have enough amps on the breaker you are running it on? Not sure if it's possible it would just trip something on the pot and not in your house? Don't know really just throwing out a couple ideas. Good luck.

I'm pretty sure somethingis wrong with yours. I dont have an RCBS but I know a few people who do and they love them and don't have the problem your talking about. I would call RCBS and tell them what's going on with it.

I know nothing about this, but they look awesome! I really like the Cisco pattern bait. I'm sure it looks even better in person.

Its fast and easy!

I've used 1/0 matzuo sickle hooks in sizes up to 1/8

We call them sassy shads here too. They are made by the 100s of thousands for sure. If your looking for molds pretty close Do-it has all those sizes in essential series molds pretty cheap. They are sand cast but by painting the cavities with high temp engine paint you can make them fairly smooth.

I think ide look at Do-it mo magic mold it's almost identical to the one style and maybe a senco tip mold for the other. Bait junkies ned bullet should work too. I'm sure if you look around you can find many options of already produced molds real close to the baits you have pictured.

I dont think it can without modification.

Just my 2 cents but I use the digital probe type because you need to stir the plastic anyway and you can use the probe type to stir at the same time as your taking temp.

I'm pretty sure your gonna need to just buy black colorant for this one.

Then your out of luck with X2

There is an X2 motor oil. It's not the color change motor oil but it doesn't bleed either.
