mark poulson Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Is there anyone here who pours a laminated senko-type 5" worm with colors like Robo's Aaron's Magic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan1995 Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 do you mean just 3 color senkos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteSS Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 As Ryan said Aaron's Magic is a three color lam. Wont show very well either with the salt. http://www.roboworm.com/v/vspfiles/assets/images/2012%20color%20descriptions.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan1995 Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 It may be possible. I may give it a try just for fun. In theory, all you have to do is hand pour both sides of the aluminum mold, clamp them together, and inject the middle. A little time consuming, but i'm sure it can be done.

MonteSS Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 I agree its posible. Just dont think you will see the middle color since they wont be very translucent and will get dark. I would do just the outer two colors as a two color lam. Besides color doesn't matter in sticks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan1995 Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 I agree. Might try it in the near future, and will post pics if I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted May 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 With a nail weight in the middle you could probably pour them without salt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 I have done triple poured senkos. I pour the one side first (laminate) then do the final pour. You have to get the timing down right or get cold cracks at one extreme or running/pooling in the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark poulson Posted May 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Here's the description from Tacklewarehouse: http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Top_Shelf_Magic_Sticks/descpage-TSMS.html It says sinking, but doesn't mention salt.

Ryan1995 Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Nice bait but did you look at the price!? $6.99 for a 5-6 pack comes out to a dollar and change each! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but with that color selection........and if the action is actually like a senko..........they should have no problem selling them. Problem is I've used a few different knock-offs with the sinking additive and haven't been entirely impressed with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted May 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 I just received my order from TW. The Top Shelf sticks don't seem to be salty, but they are very translucent, so whatever they use to add weight doesn't cloud the colors.

mark poulson Posted May 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 DaveMc1, That looks like a good candidate, for sure. They feel really soft, and I don't know how soft that sinking plastic is, or whether adding softener would make it more buoyant. Al, I just put them in the boat, in our 90+degree spring weather. I'm seeing snow and storms in the east, and we're melting out here. I should shut up, it's down from 100+ earlier in the day. I'll try one tomorrow, and let you know.

mark poulson Posted May 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Al, I tied on one of the 5" Top Shelf Magic Sticks on yesterday, but the lake was too dirty to see how it fell. And the wind came up, making fishing it a real chore, so I put it down. It weights 9.7 grams, exactly the same as one of my original BYCB senkos, but it is just a tad stiffer, when I hold them both in the middle and let the ends droop side by side. As soon as I can actually see how it falls I'll let you know. MF has a sinking softener listed too I guess my email to them asking about softener must look pretty dumb, right about now.
