Bump

The carrot has been sold, but the fork tail molds are still available. Are you interested in just the fork tail?

Yea, all swim bait molds are available. Send me a message and we can work something out.

They are still available. Sorry for the delay. Not sure if you’re still interested. If so, send me a message and I’ll ship them to you.

Bump.

I've been trying to get a bright chartreuse tail dip on my dark soft plastics for a while (tried base coating with white), but just can't seem to make it work very well. I know it can be done, because Kelly Wiggler Lures does it perfectly (see attached). They have been chartreuse dipping dark colors for forever. Anyone know how/what they do/use to get such a good tail dip?

Hey everyone, I recently bought a top injection mold from Basstackle and have been shooting with Bait Junkies, now Bait Plastics' hard formula. I cannot for the life of me get a bait to shoot without there being air bubbles at the top/head of the bait. It's infuriating! I haven't violently stirred the plastisol or sucked up any air while pulling plastisol into the injector, but it happens nearly every time I inject. The reason I know I'm not doing this is because I have another, side inject mold from a different company that shoot perfectly every time. I've tried purging the injector prior to shooting and that didn't work. Anyone have another idea on how to fix this issue? Is it the mold sprue that is the problem. I can't help but notice that the side injection mold that shoots perfectly has a wide sprue opening where it meets the body of the lure, whereas the Basstackle top inject mold has a very narrow sprue-body connection. Could air be getting trapped at that choke point and not be allowed to escape? Any advice you have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time and help.

Frank, that would be perfect! I was thinking about some sort of cheap metal funnel, but that is EXACTLY what I hoped existed. Awesome! If you wouldn't mind sending it to me, I could really use it. I sent you a PM so we can discuss further. Thanks for all of the other suggestions, folks. I really appreciate the amount of interaction on TU! This community is incredibly helpful!

Hey everyone, I recently got a new mold where the sprue hole is pretty narrow...too narrow for my current injector that I purchased from Do-It to fit in. As I don't want to by a new injector for this new mold, I was wondering if anyone has found some sort of sprue adapter piece that would allow me to use my current injector, but funnel the plastisol into the narrower sprue hole? Any information you have regarding this would be greatly appreciated.
