J lure Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 I was wondering if you guys had any tips and hints on 1 man 1 mold lure production. Last year I had a custom two piece mold made which I had designed and created and then had a professional make it out of aluminum. I only have a one single cavity of my special, I mean custom mold. I know I can only go so fast considering buy any help on making lure production go faster and smoother would be appreciated. I know everyone started small but how did you do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass-Boys Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 speed will not be part of your lure making if you only have 1 mold w/ 1 cav. use very small batches so as not to have to reheat so much if you are using a micro .

Kajan Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Contact the fella who made your mold, tell him you want 19 more or so, these should be much cheaper since you already paid for layout time on the puter. Buy 2 of Bears Presto pots with stir systems. Mixing block, two med injectors, bou'cou' plastic, and start injecting lures. If your colours are bon', should be fine.

J lure Posted December 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Thanks for all the advice, tips and hints. I just feel like the turtle and the hare story just that the turtle dies halfway through the race. I guess I have to mix small portions plastic because reheating was a problem, and I will half to buy more molds down the road and even multiply cavity molds. Now these guys like Bob said selling single bait for a dollar plus, are they using the same plastic we are? Or are they using a more durable plastic or is there a way to buy or make a more durable plastic. I'm not talking about the "hard" plastic for saltwater just something more durable and longer lasting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
