cbj11lbs Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 So I was thinking, If you use hand injection or a small machine like jacobs or bears are you still considered a hand pourer? Hand Pouring has a nice ring to it I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass-Boys Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Thats a good question, my opinion is no. hand pouring is hand pouring hand injecting is hand injecting machine injection is machine injection 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) Not in my book. Hand pours really have been diluted over the years even before injection became so popular. At one point hand pours really meant something. You were getting a unique product that bordered on artistry with careful blending of colors, it was more of skill. Then it evolved into more just trying to beat the price of the name brand stuff. Colors well... more traditional southern bass fisheries (solid colors heavy on glitter). Just dump the plastic in and churn them out and just beat the price of zoom, GY, etc... Edited April 19, 2013 by Travis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbj11lbs Posted April 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 haha dang, i do hand injection so guess i cant say my baits are "hand poured" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishingBuds Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Old topic but always gets interesting. I came into the plastic world when the hand pouring was getting strong competition from injection. Currently I still do both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bass4cache Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 I do alot of handpouring still and its definately an aquired skill. I use both methods now and I prefer the term "handmade in the USA" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
