Dubs Chops Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 anyone thought of using one of these for fine tails for grubs and such? i have trouble pouring them without going over. also when i was pouring earlier i was having trouble with my plastic rolling over the side of the pan instead of pouring straight down, did i explain that where anyone could understand it? you think the plastic was too hot or too cool?

JDBaits Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 I think a turkey baster would be more of a PIA than its worth, my best advice is to Practice, Practice, Practice!!!!!! Also with your pouring pan troubles from what you explained I think your pan is too full, try only filling it 1/3 to 1/4 way and you should get a nice stream wjen u pour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhorlings Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Yep... sounds like the pan is too full. I do that too sometimes. Keep practicing. You will get the hang of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 It's good that your mind is thinking "outside of the box"; that's where some of the best ideas come from. The problem with this idea is that the baster will simply plug up, as the plastic will cool and form a plug right at the end. As the others said, just keep practicing. Try pouring the tail first and then lead the stream of plastic towards the body of the grub. Do this all in one motion. Don't start and stop the stream. Also, don't try to pour it too quickly. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Dubs. When I first poured lead from a ladle, I had the similar problem, it was a crap shoot as to where it was going to pour. Often I missed the hole in the belly of the lure and had to start over. The solution was to cut a notch '>' about 1/4" where I wanted it to pour, using a cutter wheel in the dremel. This solved all my problems. Experiment, the notch may have to be a bit bigger for the viscous plastic. This may work for your pan, assuming it to be metal. Worth a try, assuming Mrs Dubs does not use the pan any more. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubs Chops Posted November 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 lol thanks everyone. the more I think about it I bet the pan was too full. i had it pretty full because i was also dipping tubes out of it. vodkaman, it does have a notch in it, it is the aluminum one from lurecraft. Mrs, Dubs would not turn loose of any of hers. here is a picture of what i was messing around with, the tail on the chart tailed grub is screwed up i was just fooling around and thought i would try to pour the tail by drizziling the plastic off of my stirring butternife.

Delw Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 If your using a 1 cup pan(whatever size pan your useing), only fill it a 1/4-1/8 of the way. Rather than typing out a lengthy responce to the reasoning run to your kitchen grab a glass. fill it to the top with water. try to pour a small stream. then fill it 1/4 full and do the same. I made a pos about it before. somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAE73 Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 (edited) Not a turkey baster, but a vet needle with nozzle I use it for pouring my crappie jigs and 3" kalin jigs. I cut all but about 1/4" of the nozzle. Works good, no burns yet! Edited November 12, 2008 by TAE73 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAE73 Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Any farm/tractor supply store has them, I think it was around 12 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
