MonteSS Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 I am interested in pouring some 5" stick bait. Is this a bad lure to learn on since salt is needed? I dont have much interest/use for other baits right now. I would get an aluminum 2-part mold and injector. Pyrex in a microwave. What plastic is best for these? I am interested in slightly more durability than softness. I currently use Salty Trick Sticks. I will probably order from Lurecraft.

daveh Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 i been using lc 502 for years. just need to scrap the hard pack of the bottom then shake. i just keep the gallon jug upside down. you also need softener for sticks. a lot of stirring also with salt. may want to get a cheap rtv mold and practice on getting use to your micro wave on how it melts the plastic. i add salt after i melt it.or just jump in with both feet. getting the hang of your micro wave and not scorching plastic is the main learning curve.

Bass-Boys Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 If it were me I would use lure craft 536 for sticks then you will not need to add the softner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB GONE Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 I think it is a good choice if you use those. Using the mic and salt and eveything all at once will make doing other baits easy. I say go for it! Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nedyarb Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Save your money, and buy Dels 5" top pour stick mold. It is the same size as a GY stick. And you won't need an injector. IMO the injectors work best with multiple molds, but if you only have 1 mold it is a waste of time. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
