Travis Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 I have worn a respirator with an organic/acid cartridge. Box fan and pour in front of a window works just fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tally Posted December 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 thanks. Is there a reference point of how much fine salt to start with per 4 oz of plastic? Again, I "think" I am wanting heavy salt. Then let the trial and error begin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpoonMinnow Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 Easy to make yourself: Wrap the wire around a nail to create a coil of only 3 turns. Cut and make a loop at the other end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBHUFFY1 Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 I'm thinking that he could use the hitch-hiker to attach to the jig hook. Should be better than running the hook through the bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tally Posted December 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 I just bought the Lurecraft's (Pork) 2.5" Trailer V Shape Chunk / 5 cavity . It is a composite mold. Do I need any release agent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raywillett Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 If interested I have lots of colorants in larger bottles. I can sell you a few colors in smaller bottles.

Tally Posted December 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 Thanks, wasn't sure being a composite mold. I might take you up on the color if I get into different baits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Young Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 A fellow on bass boat central is tracing the uncle josh trailers out onto a piece leather then cutting them out & dying them & says they work great. Just another option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTDuckman Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 I dont use chunk style trailers often but saw a tip by Randal Tharp that I think could help with the plastic ripping. Take a toothpick and run it laterally just in front of where you plan to put the hook through. On a short bite the bait pulls on the toothpick instead of ripping through the front of the bait. Just clip off the ends so they dont stick out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
