kidlizard Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 My latest crazy idea is to add a laser sight to my lee pot to show me exactly where the stream will start. This will be extremelly helpfull for me because when pouring the huffers I have to start at the thinest point (tip of one tail) in order not to get lines in my bait from starting and stopping. I thought some of you finesse pourers might find this usefull as well. I havent done it yet, but a battery powered sight can be purchased for under 10 bucks and it shouldnt be too hard to mount. What do you guys think?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 Hey John, What kind of lines are you getting? Are you talking about overpours or run-offs? Sorry man.....I'm lost on that one. :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidlizard Posted December 18, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 Al, Im talking about eleminating over pours. Its not a big problem, but i was just thinking that having a light show you exactly where to start pouring would help increase effeciency by decreasing the amount of time it takes to line up the mold.... Does that make since? Maybe I am not explaining it right....lol It really wouldnt help for larger baits because those are pretty easy to hit, but the small legs of baits it may help alot.

alsworms Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 Makes sense now John. I must have been half asleep when I read your first post. Some guys start at the tail and work towards the meat of the body, but for some reason that has never worked for me. I always start my pours at the thick part and work towards the tail. I try to get a thin stream of plastic pouring to the tail, and what little bit I have left over I work back to the thick part of the body and finish it there. This helps eliminate overpours for me. Probably doesn't make a bit of sense. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
