Les Young Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 3 or 4 ounces. 4 will do it for sure, but with so many different molds I can’t remember off the top of my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alakai Posted December 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 Cool, so 2oz of each color will do it for a laminate. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Young Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 I would think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alakai Posted December 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 Do you have that mold Les? Do you sell your baits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Young Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 (edited) Yep i have it. I am going to possibly try laminates tomorrow to see how this mold does with a dual injector if i have time. I usually don't sale because i'm usually so busy with work that i don't have time. I am on vacation now until the 2nd of Janurary though. Pm me & i'll see if it's something i'm interested in doing. May be able to help you out.

Les Young Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 Here’s my first attempt at laminating for a moonlight night tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alakai Posted December 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 Looks like it has no taper. Is it the slender version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Young Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 Nope it's the double dipper. After you cut the tails & roll them in salt they look a lot different. In the 2 color tube thread the right one is a zoom & my 2 colored one on the left. You can tell by the pic there isn't really much if any difference. These work great for me here, but you may be wanting something totally different then what i would use here though too. If heavy salt was mixed in the plastic instead of just rolling them in it it may make a difference too. Schoolmaster or DaveMc would be a good one to ask about that.

Alakai Posted December 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 Hey Les, not looking to salt any of the tubes. I'm actually looking at your pictures to see the "taper" that the double dipper is supposed to have but I just don't see much. Josh at AI wrote me back via FB and told me that the DD has a .550 and the slender is .440. I really am not looking for any taper in my baits either so not sure at this point. Thanks for the shots though, appreciate the picture . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Young Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 No problem. I will say that these tubes work excellent for me. & the smallmouth seem to like them too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Young Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 (edited) Yep I screwed up & didn’t rotate them 90*. That’s the color I wanted them though. Black with blue flake on one half of each bait& blue with blue flake on the other side. I wondered how the angling ai mold would laminate, but it does a fine job.
