GB GONE Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 (edited) If money isn't the issue,why would someone want the inconsistencies of hand pour. Just for the record, hand pouring can be done without inconsistencies. Guys like Nova here on TU and many others could prove it out easy. Many can't do it though. Not saying you can't as your baits look great on your site but some just can't be steady or whatever. . I have traded bags with guys that are skilled in hand pouring and you can't tell one bait from the next. Check the gallery and look at Big Panchos RBT swims... Hand injection does give you 99% perfect baits but when the fish are biting Aaron's magic color, I either have to hand pour it or buy them as hand injection cannot make that color at all, inconsistent or not. And for the record, if I was making grubs for production, I would buy hand injection molds for sure. It would be a no brainer as Al is correct that you would want that perfect quality from the CNC machined molds that pop molds might not give you every time.

I only bought 1 RTV hand-pour grub mold 6 years ago. What a friggin' nightmare. Over pours,under pours and trimming to boot. Then I saw a two part,CNC hand pour deal where you pour the tail 1st,then close the mold and pour the rest of the grub. Is somebody jackin' me ? I could by 100's of grubs from Barlow's for the price of that two-operation,two piece Neanderthal grub mold. Now I've moved into injection and bought 2- 5 cavity grub molds and 3 two cavity 3" molds from Bears. I just ordered 3 custom 3 1/2" grub molds from Bears. They are the easiest to inject and I even have shot two-color grubs. his grubs are measured from the tip to the back of the tail. Here's the best part-I can inject them w/ med. plastisol and they swim as good or better then a Kalins w/o the sticky,thin fragile tail. Consistency,production and dependable performance for the rest of my life with these CNC injection molds. Buy quality 1 time and save money in the long run. I can hand pour w/the best of them but only when necessary.. Much too time consuming. Peace Jim- Al P.S. Thanks for the compliment on the website baits. Some are hand pour(trimming required) and some are injection. All new baits this year are injection. Much new updated info and pics are necessary.

GB GONE Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 I hear you Al. The whole reason I even took all that time on those pop grub molds was I thought guys were absoluely crazy for opening, pouring, closing... I would not have done that even for my good buddies. And the one sided molds just didn't give a bait that performed that well to me. After all this bait talk, I am ready to go stick some pigs!!!!!!!
