bassman31783 Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 I'm really interested in getting into pouring/shooting my own plastic baits & was just wondering what type of mold is the most "beginner friendly." I'm leaning towards a senko type mold but didn't know if there would be a better mold to get me started. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

This is what you should get. While it may not be the easiest to pour it will be the one you are most familiar with fishing and will get the most satisfaction out of fishing/catching bass on. If you fish a lot of different plastics then it gets easier to choose what to buy. To be honest only a few molds are difficult to pour and I don't think any really qualify as difficult if we are talking about injection.

If you like senkos, top pour two piece cnc stick mold is a pretty good place to start....pours easily, makes nice baits and doesn't require an injector. For swimbaits, an open pour rtv mold isn't a bad idea either, easy to pour, requires minimal equipment, inexpensive and will definitely catch fish.

powerworm Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 i think everyone should start with a 4" brush hog handpour mold that way once you master that everything else is a breeze!! LOL go with the senko if you like to fish them just get a top pour to start and you can make solids, laminates and swirls as well with just 1 mold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gone2long Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 when I started I bought del's 4 cavity senko combo mold it's a 2 piece cnc top pour mold 2 4.25 and 2 5.25 and I like it allot and still use it often even after switching to the dark side (injecting) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
