capecodsmallie Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 Just curious as to how some of the bait companys get their baits. I know their injection mold baits but who actually makes the baits? The company, or do they go through a plastic company for their baits. If a plastic company does it how many plastic companys are actually making baits? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsac Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 I know Robo, Yamamoto, Kinami all make their own baits at their own factories. I believe Strike does as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delw Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 Yamamoto and kinami use the same molds and the same place Kinami is owned by derek garys son. They own an injection company up in page AZ. All yamamoto baits are injected. Roboworm has a different proccess that use's one sided molds to pour there baits(hence the one flat side) There operation is pretty easy to duplicate, and its also pretty cheap to build. There are people in other states that you can have inject your baits if you have the molds built to fit in there machine. I believe there is one in indiana .

woodsac Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 Del, I read (from Robo) that their worms are actually injected. At least all the FX series. They claim to be the only company to maintain 'hand pour quality' with injected baits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capecodsmallie Posted January 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 If yammie and co. make their own then I guess berkley,zoom,and others probably make their own too. I'm surprised. I figured that they had their baits made for them by a plastics company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delw Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 I dont know about there fx baits bt they look like the same molds they use for the regular baits. from the pics I have seen they pour the plastic from the top just like an open 1 piece mold, You can make the same type of machines using a cnc table and or hydraulic table. if you use a cnc table you can actually te it to produce the fx style baits very easy and perfect. its all in the timing of the pots/nozzles and what types of nozzles they have on them. I believe they are using the same nozzles that shoot hot melt out. you can turn them on and off very precisely. the hotmelt nozzles are all computerized now with very very fast reaction times. It will shoot a small precise stream as well. Delw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delw Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 Cape . berkley and most major bait manufacturers have there own injection facility. I have heard when they get over flow they send it out to littler guys. Delw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WidowMaker Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 Almost any company that produces soft plastic baits has a program set up to produce custom molds from prototypes or will allow you to supply the mold and let them do the production work. Injection molding equipment and its maintenance costs money so they are willing to do anything profitable to keep the machinery running and making money. A custom run may pay part of or all of next months utilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarshManiaC Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 I know a lot of the salt guys have their lures made down in Central America....I am guessing they contract it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
