Gloomisman Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 you gotta pour the lizard fast and in a small stream of plastic or the legs wont pour right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delw Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 What are you using to pour with? can you be more specific in where the problem is. you need to use a pouring pan or a 1 cup alum or stainless measuring cup. only fill the pouring cup 1/8-1/4 full so you get the pan almost at a 90º before the plastic comes out. They (most 1 piece molds) will not pour out of a pyrex or anchor cup, I don't care how good you are, you just can't get the fine lines like a pouring pan. Start from the belly then follow the leg repeat it for each leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poppyc o c k!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just takes a little practice and you can pour right into those little legs and feet. Even on the tiny lizard from Bob or Lurecraft. I start at the head and fill the body almost completely full, then go to the top leg and fill 3/4 going out the leg and 1/4 coming back. Let your plastic keep streaming as you cross the body into the leg below. Then move to the top back leg, bottom back leg then finish the tail out. The trick is to not stop your plastic stream during the pour. Is it hard, yeah. Can you get fine enough streams out of an Anchor cup... Absolutely!!!!! Just practice a bit. I do it every night!

Delw Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 OK with the exception of you I would love to see a video of someone/anyone doing that though and be able to get it with NO trimming work needed. for 99% of the people get a pouring pan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB GONE Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Funny thing is that I have seen lines that Javier (BASS8BAITS) has done in baits and you swear they had to be drawn in with a marker! Super thin!! He got me hooked on the Anchor cups... The Anchor cups can produce a much thinner line than the pyrex due to the spout. I tried the pouring pans and really think the anchor cup gives as thin or thinner of a stream. Just me though. Most do seem to prefer the pans as Del stated.... Jim PS You get robotic after a while on those molds and very rarely trim. Maybe 1 in 50 baits... Maybe I will make a video just to show the process I use....

Delw Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 yes anchors do pour a finer line... A lot of the guys that pour multiple colors pour the baits than throw them in the oven and or they pour them when the molds are on pancake griddles. this keeps the molds hot so the colors will blend smoother, otherwise you get that nasty blend line. Some have even gone as far as pouring while the mold is very hot then baking the mold and the bait in the over. this gives the best blends. but it does take time to do and unfortunately you have to have a ton of molds to make it worth your time.

Angler310 Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 a double shot of Jack, a good deep breath, steady hand and lots of concentration. works for me, pouring pot with a 1/4" spout helps. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Just curious...... what's an anchor cup?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Anchor Hocking, is Oneida's brand of measuring cup. The pour spout has a slightly sharper pour spout and the main part to me is that the pour spout isn't as and seems to allow a smoother consitent flow of plastic. Overall not much difference.

BASSV18 Posted January 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Thanks for the replies fellows I guess its back to the table to see what I can do I may have to try a pouring cup for now, I was pouring out of a Presto pot maybe I will get it one day . Maybe try a smaller spout for a finer stream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
