AlbyDogGone Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Anybody have any preferences to what size pots you pour from? I have the bigger ones from Barlows, but I saw that Lurecraft has the small ones and they look a bit easier to handle. Anyone use the ones from Luercraft??

kidlizard Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 Yes sir, We use the small pots and I love them.. I cant tell people enough that its worth the investment of 50 bucks to get away from the pyrex or pans.. Even if you are just gonna pour for yourself. The things really work well.. My question for you would be why the switch? I was wondering what people think about the larger pots.. Would save some time for me if the flow is precise enough. I cnt imagine there would be a difference other than volume.... Thanks John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siebler_custom_baits Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 i was under the impression that this post was about small alluminum pans for pouring. I like the lee pots big and small, just depends on how much plastic you use at one time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarshManiaC Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 If you are talking about Lee pots, I prefer the smaller models. I have one large one but don't use it too much as it is too tough to control. I recently replaced 2 of the linings on my small pots and found that the spouts were smaller and allowed much more control. I am thinking of ordering a replacement liner for the bigger one, hopefully it'll control better too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlbyDogGone Posted February 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 Yeah I was referring to the smaller metal pots, not the Lee pots. Sorry i didnt make that clearer, I just pour for myself and I was wondering about the smaller pans...if they were better than Barlow's bigger pouring pans.

Pit Bass Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 Hey Alby, I still use aluminum pans for pouring lures. I started out using cut-down pop cans with a pair of pliers. Worked ok and I could throw it away if the plastic scorched. I also use the Barlows' quart pan with good results on larger molds. I recently bought Lurecrafts 1-cup pans for smaller molds or tails. The plastic handles melted so I made my own from a wood dowel. They work well now. All of these pans work best with about 1/4 capacity. Also, make the pouring spout sharper with pliers. Good Luck !

Delw Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 I like the smaller lure craft pans. I fill them less than half full and can pour pretty fast and a pretty fine line. I used to use the lee pots but once I learned how to pour I stopped Delw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlbyDogGone Posted February 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 Thanks for your responses guys, I kinda figured that they poured better if they were sharper and smaller. I think I will order some this week. Oh yeah, and I think it will help having the smaller ones because I have a double burner but I want to try 3 color pours and I dont want to have to buy another burner, so I fit more than 1 of the smaller pouring pans on a single burner, that should help too. Anyways, just rambling, thanks again for the feedback. Alby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
