pool 4 gold Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 I know in the past I have seen it on here or elsewhere but what type of rods do most use? I plan to get some different sizes for my ringworm and sinko molds but curious what type of material most prefer to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBehr Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 I use aluminum knitting needles https://www.walmart.com/ip/Boye-Aluminum-14-Single-Point-Knitting-Needle-1-Each/17370737?athcpid=17370737&athpgid=athenaItemPage&athcgid=null&athznid=PWVUB&athieid=v0&athstid=CS004&athguid=e8d135e6-007-17078bb9ca3819&athancid=null&athena=true Here's a link to some posts on how to do an "e-core". Note that a number of people use nails which are easy to find it a lot of different diameters. https://custombaits.com/index.php?topic=11749.msg92006#msg92006 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pool 4 gold Posted February 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 Awesome I looked up my local Menards and they have 1/8" brass rod in 3 ft. sections in stock for $3 a piece! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteSS Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 Brass is too soft. Use standard wire from a hobby shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pool 4 gold Posted February 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 Thanks for the tip on the brass I was heading there tonight. I will check out Hobby Lobby instead an go from there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Young Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) i use pin flags cut to the length i want & then hand dip in whatever color i want. I then place them in my senko mold & inject the outer color & when cool i pull the pin flag wire out. Easy enough to do for a simple core shot bait. I'm going to try it on the midwest finesse mold & the ripper swimbait & see what i come up with.
