Air Pockets

Recommended Posts

I just got through reading an interesting article in the Oct. issue of FLW magazine about buoyant plastics.

So now I'm wondering, how do you create an air pocket in a bait? I'm thinking if you wanted a chamber for a rattle you could use a rod, pour around it and remove. Similar to a line through swimbait.

But what about a totally enclosed pocket that has an air bubble?

Interested to hear your thoughts!

I use a cajun hand injector for my worms, and wind up with air bubbles in the top of the larger worms and senkos.

I just weld them shut with an Iovino worm welder, and they stand up when I T rig or shakey head rig them.

Unintentional, but it works out.

I think it happens because I don't have a large enough reservoir of hot plastic above the worm cavity to run back down in after I inject them. It doesn't happen on the thinner worms.
