Les Young Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 What size injectors does most everyone use with a twin injector system? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elf Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 I'm so new at this I don't even have one yet but this is what I was thinking, I want to shoot as many molds as possible with each "load" of plastisol so I'll be going with the largest one I can find.

Walking Dead Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 I have both their 3 oz and 6 ounces and use the sizers more. 12 ounces is a lot of plastic so having the number of molds reduces reheats or reloads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apdriver Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 First I bought the three ounce twin injector and it was fine.....for awhile. As I progressed in the hobby and bought more and more molds and increased the cavity count on others the small twin just wasn’t big enough. Now I have the six ounce which is twelve ounces of plastic. The six ounce is a better size, IMO. Keep in mind you don’t have to fill it up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, technically I have four but one is basically a paperweight to me and the last one is a claw mold for a crawdad I'll be getting later. Angling AI's stickbait mold (does core shots) has 5 cavities and when I shoot the mold w/o the rods in place I barely have enough plastisol to fill the mold and I immediately have to top off the sprue with the measuring cup.

Driftwood Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 Always get the largest you can afford. ( you will need it as you increase the number of molds you have.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canga~ Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 i only had a 4oz single injector, and it was ok, but went with the 6oz twinjector, and im glad i did. i started with a couple molds, im up to 11 now (i think) and having the bigger injectors is nice, and i use the single 6oz when im only doing 1 color shoots, as the basstackle injectors are a decent bit better than the original injector i bought (the threaded nozzle one from lurecraft) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every part that can turn has a knurled surface to make it easier to turn them with gloves on. And they have the bayonet pin on the nozzle to ensure it stays in place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Young Posted November 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 Yep I like basstackles injector too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Young Posted November 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 (edited) Thanks guys. I'll buy bigger injectors a little later since i bought a 3 ouncer if i need it. I have a single 6 ouncer already & have over 20 molds, but most of them i won't make two color baits with anyway. It will be for making a couple colors for myself that i kept to myself & won a lot of money on one specific lake with & then of course they quit making them & i ran out after buying every pack i found of them. I may try using it on my angling ai tube mold too Edited November 20, 2018 by Les Young Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted November 21, 2018 Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 So if I understand right you bought the 3oz Twinjector, now just buy another 6oz one and you can swap them out when you need more volume. I think it is easier to learn with the 3oz Twinjector and then move up. It does take a little getting use to. And funny you say won’t make two color baits anyways, but that’s what you say now. 95% of what I shoot in two colors. I am so use to it when I shoot a Single Color I still use the Twinjector. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank, thanks & i will buy another 6 ouncer when i need it. Like you said i probably will use it when shooting single colors too to up the output.
