The Dutchman Posted December 27, 2004 Report Share Posted December 27, 2004 How do you cool baits once they are poured? In water, a table, what? How long before you bag them? I find some of my baits become deformed. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB GONE Posted December 27, 2004 Report Share Posted December 27, 2004 Joe; I'm sure you will get a variety of responses but my baits go directly into a tupperware container with cold water. So far, I've had no problems with deformity. I put them on a towel to dry and then right into the bag with some worm oil. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senkosam Posted December 27, 2004 Report Share Posted December 27, 2004 What he said, but don't remove from the mold too soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted December 27, 2004 Report Share Posted December 27, 2004 I like to use a cooling pan or wooden bread board. Wood tends to help the baits cool much faster. Have never tried water. Perhaps I'm too lazy..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe S. Posted December 27, 2004 Report Share Posted December 27, 2004 I add salt to my baits before and right after I pour them while the plastic is still liquid, so it layers and sticks to the top, therefore I don't put my baits in the water, I savor all ingredients for the lake , don't want anything to wash off before I get there, I have a few flat tupperware containers That once I pull from the mold I plcae them in the container and make sure they are straight till they are completley cooled.

BassnG3 Posted December 27, 2004 Report Share Posted December 27, 2004 I just let them cool in an aluminum pie tin then when they are cool to the touch I salt and bag them. If you are getting deformed baits then perhaps you are removing them from the mold too soon. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsac Posted December 27, 2004 Report Share Posted December 27, 2004 I have a separate table that I lay pieces of aluminum foil on. It doesn't take very long to fill up a sheet with 50-100 baits. Then I slide the full sheet off the edge onto a metal tray. Put that sheet out of the way somewhere. Doing it this way you don't have to take time out from pouring except to move the full sheet. Your next piece of aluminum is on the table ready for more baits. By sliding the aluminum onto the tray, it keeps the baits in place and straight. No deforming and lots of work room.
