FATFLATTIE Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 I was thinking about these baits yesterday and was wondering if any of you guys make them and if so how in the world to go about it? I figured a mold like the Do-It Freedom Fry open pour could be a good candidate for this but I just don't have a clue how you'd get the hooks/leader to stay in place while pouring?? Thanks in advance guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRammit Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Always wondered this myself... Figured monofilament would melt in hot plastic..... Maybe the worms are cut open, then "welded" back together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Most monofilament line is made from nylon, some other polymers. Dependent upon the nylon polymer used the temperature ranges from mid 300 up to past 600 °F. Cutting open and welding of worm would not be cost effective and would leave pour results.

FATFLATTIE Posted March 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 The ones that I always used to use just had black twine instead of mono. It wasn't really a leader but just a little loop that came out of the front. They were a small 3-4" centipede style worm. Boy did they catch fish!

Darkman Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 I have a couple of westys and it looks like mono to me, I'll have to go double check but you could try some light braid (this a guess on my part, I've never tried pouring hooks in before) but it's worth a shot I'll look tomorrow, cut in to one, I hate computers o I'm not good at posting pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 http://kellysbassworms.com/about-kellys/ These say sewn in and mention Trilene XL. Touchdown worms uses trilene also and I thought I was told injected by a pro staffer of theirs but at the time didn't think to ask if that meant the entire bait or just the worm.
