Darkman Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 I am having the hardest time pouring this bait, I am having a hard time with the hook staying in place when I pour and it comes out with a ton of flashing...do I have to tape the hook down? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twindad90 Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 I tape the hook down. I take a piece of tape and put it across the surface where the hooks are. I have poured several and I'm still using the same piece of tape. I just peel the tape up and remove the jig. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBull Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 I took and buildt up platform on both sides of my mold to hold the hooks. I used a piece window allum.(spelling) trim with heat duck tape to hold it in place, it works great. STEVE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasilofchrisn Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Some of my Shawn Collins molds have magnets inset in them. I wish do it would do that for molds like this one. That would solve the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBehr Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 I put some thin magnetic tape I got from the craft section at WalMart on the mold and it holds the hooks really well. The first time you use it you need to press the mold together really hard to score the magnet with the imprint of the hook shank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kdog Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Having grown tired of hooks slipping and causing mashed slots (Unfortunately I have very little feeling in my hands, strength is still there but I can grab something hot and only know I get burned is A, smell of burning skin, or) B. The blister formation) so I bought a bunch of these magnets http://tinyurl.com/m3s9lxv Drill a 1/8" hole about 3/16" deep on the outer part of the eye slot. Put some hi temp epoxy in the hole, insert magnet, place hook and close mold. let cure. have done the same on the shank slot but not sure that step is necessary. I will say with 2 magnets you get the hook close and it will self position and be right. The 3mm x 3mm may be a bit overkill but that is what I bought. 3mm x 1mm are more readily available and much cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sling_blades Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 I used double sided tape on mine to do the first 100. It worked very well. What type hook is everyone using? Mostly the heavy duty/superline hooks or are some of ou using the regular wide gap hooks? Any round bend worm hooks? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you post a picture so I can get a better understanding of where you are placing these magnets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
