chachybaby Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Hey guys, What is the basic way of making 3.5 - 4 " tubes? I keep hearing of dipping etc. Can this be done in a mold or is there another method? thanks, C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gone2long Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 You seek Bojon I think he has a dvd set on the whole process but I'm sure he will chime in, if not shoot him a PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jig Man Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 I used to dip but got tired of it. I bought the molds from Bear. I suggest if you want to do very many you will need 2 injectors with 2 different tips, a blending block and at least 4 molds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerworm Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 if you really want to do alot of tubes fast and dont mind cutting tails dipping is by far faster at putting baits out. for under 50.00 you can make enough racks to dip over 100 tubes. then there is horizontal dipping if you want to use something smaller than a presto pot.

bojon Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 I will help you if you decide if you want to dip tubes.I can send you a few photos and you should be able to get an idea if you want to horizontal dip or not.I find that it is easy to change sizes both length,and diameter,and dipping more than one color.Dipping allows the tube to have a thinner wall at the tail section,which I prefer,but tail filiment cutting is another step.Fast and easy once you make your cutter.

Ateam Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 I'd be really interested in a dipping tutorial as well. Is there one already on this site? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bojon Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 I have tried posting my method on this site,but I just can't do it.My computer skills are lousy.There has been a few short movies over the years that were avaliable showing me horizontal dipping.Maybe I will find someone to walk me thru posting a few short movies,or someone can help you with your search on this site.I'm always willing to help others,but hate bothering others to help me.

chachybaby Posted September 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Bojon, if you are willing to provide the pictures and accompanying explanations, I would try posting the tutorial for everyone on your behalf. I know a lot of us here would love to see the tube guru's tutorial on dipping tubes. You can send the pics and an explanation of whats going on in the pic via email messages to me. We can also create a youtube account for your videos if you don't already have an account. That way we can all access that as well for a more detailed approach. just an idea...

bojon Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 I will take you up on your offer.Can we use a 20 minute movie that I have made for instuctions?I could send you a copy of the disc by mail.If you could post this on this site,it would answer almost all questions on horizontal dipping,from the start to the finished tube.This is part of the instuction DVD/CD that I sold several years ago.Maybe someone who previously bought my DVD/CD set can post it.They are coprighted,but I could send a release.I really don't have any secrets that I have held back,and I have helped hundreds to get a start.This could kill a bunch of birds with one stone.I would still help with any other questions,on a one on one basis.Let me know what you decide.

Curt - NC Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 The post containing the "dirty blonde" has been removed. The image itself has also been removed from the gallery. Baits that depict personal body parts aren't necessary and will be deleted if they're seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
