Thanks

DEL-MART MOLDS

Make you own out of POP, I did, they work great

[Richard Prager]

I've had both Delw's and Bear's versions. Both are very close. Bear's is almost dead on as far as size. Delw's is a hand pour and Bear's is injection. I prefer the injection allot more. You also have the option of getting a mold just for tips for a few dollars more. They work like a dream.

152nd are you using the full round or the flat sided bait? Bears flat sided bait looks like the flat side is way larger than the Zoom.

I was referring the the flat sided mold like the Zoom Trick. Side by side they are identical except in one spot. The place where the thinnest part of the worm is, right above the diamond tail. Bear's is just slightly smaller. Slight enough that if you didn't compare the two side by side you wouldn't be able to tell. That's what I did and that's why I bought several of them and 2 tip molds.

i use both bears flat belly and dels full round. i have more people wanting the full round but bears flat belly is just about dead on zoom. i use them a lot. the main thing about eather is getting the salt content down if you throw them wacky sytle.

Del has his in injection as well as hand pour. Tips are also available.

I believe Kevin at Basstackle also has one very close and can make it with the slide bar so that you don't have to buy the additional mold for tips. You just inject the tip and then the worm.

Just other options.

From baits I have held in my hand, Bear's seems to be the closest match.

Thanks for all the great replys. Do you guys see a difference in the action of the bait between the full round and the flat side?

Also Dave any hints on your salt content as I do use them wacky style.

The full round is of course a beefier bait. I've had delw's 7.25" and 10.5" round and have caught more and bigger fish on those 2 than anything else. I usually throw the 7.25 on a shakey head and the big 10.5 weightless with a frog hook. They both work well wacky also. I would be on to fish using the flat side, then throw out the full round and start catching better quality fish immediately. You can't go wrong with either of them and you can never have enough molds. Right, Dave?

i use 20 dashes of salt in 4oz of med 502 plastic. i also add a cap of softener because the salt will harden them up. been using this recipe for 4 years and i tear up the bass. i sell a lot of them and even the guys that drop shot and shaky head them want salt in them. i say out of my over 200 molds the full round 6in has caught more fish than any bait i make. now if you never held one in your hand the full round looks big a lot bigger than the flat belly trick. but man they catch fish. and richard you can have to many molds. i do and am mold pour. but it beats buying that junk at wally world.

Ive got several of dels flat sided trick worms,once i got the hang of over filing them a little they were much better. But im partiall to. That 6.25" worm in bubble gum is on the money around here in the spring.

[daveh]

i caught this one on bears flatbelly trick at gunts in the spring wacky style. had one bigger and lost it 5 min before. then slayed them all that week with dells 6.25 full round trick on a shaky head. both with my salt recipe. and my secret color zambony green.

dels trick on shaky head one of many that week

I have Lurecraft's trick worm and thought that was almost exact, anybody else use LC's trick worm?

i bought that mold years ago and still have it. but don`t use it any more. makes a nice bait.

I have both I use Dels mainly for shakey head it's a little thinner and use LC trick worm for TRig & CRig it's thicker.

Dels finesse worm is better than the original in my opinion for either tactic.

What's the deal with the tips? I've seen them but aren't sure how you use them. How do you attach them? I hope this is too dumb of a question.

[gone2long]

I believe the tip mold is an injection mold but you shoot the tip mold 1 color then demold cut and insert into the primary mold and proceed to shoot the main body color.

That's exactly how you do it. If I have time tonight, I'll post pics of the process.

[Airfishman]

Got it. Thanks guys.

What's the model number on that mold? I've look at their molds but can't figure out which one is the closest to a zoom.
