Keitech Swimbaits

Hey Kim, if you are referring to this adaptor http://www.lurecraft.com/Double-Injectioner-Adapter/productinfo/2X218/   then no it won't work properly with all your molds. In the description you have mold 5XLU-989 ( http://www.lurecraft.com/4-1_2-KT-Swim-Bait-Alum-2-Cav-2-Pc-Injection/productinfo/5XLU-989/ ) listed which is a 2 cavity side injection mold. It is not an offset mold so the left and right sides are cut into the mold plates leaving you with a bait that has the left side one colour and the right side another colour, NOT a back/belly laminate as it states. Looking at the molds listed on the adaptor page, 5XLU-141 is the only mold listed that will laminate properly with that adaptor. 

 

In order for the swimbaits to laminate back/belly the way you are cutting them they need their own injection ports (or an H-bar runner which you'll only see on production molds). The only somewhat economical way to properly laminate a multi cavity swimbait like the keitech is to do what Bob @ BTS has done and make an offset mold. 

 

BaitJunky's and BassTackle have made most if not all their injection swimbait molds available with single port injection to allow them to be laminated with the standard dual injectors on the market.
