Apdriver Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 From what I understand, a true core shot is done with a slide bar mold. This pic is what you are talking about, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mocanic Posted February 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) yes it is, but id be happy with just a solid shot in the middle, and not in the tail. like a dark inside a lighter color. Ive thought about just shooting into like a small break line as the core then putting it in the mold. is there a better way, I haven't heard of a slide bar.

walleyeking Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 As far as I know a slide bar mold is the only way. You can get a little bit of a core by pouring plastic in the sprue hole the injecting threw it but it won't be consistent at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joelhains Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 This is a video I made on the subject. These aren't true "core shots" but the effect it about the same. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The slide bar molds are very expensive and mostly production molds manufactured for multi cavities. The only slide bar mold that I know of for the hobby pourer, Baitjunkys makes. I'll post a link but I don't know anyone that has it and haven't seen any pics of the baits made from it. It's 65 bucks a cavity. I've been working an angle for a discount but it hasn't worked out yet:-) http://www.shopbaitjunkys.com/Fat-TW-worm-6-Cavity-Slide-Bar-mold_p_728.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither of them however have a proper slide gate setup in them. They only have the single bar across the body and don't include the tail gate bar. This is essential in shooting a proper multi cavity core shot I am told. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like to me, it's a big vent at the end of the mold. You open it and it allows the displacement of your first color, in the core, to be displaced by the second color. Your core shot.
