Kned93 Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 (edited) I thought one of the small cheap injectors (made in Ukrainian) would be a great starter injector and it did work ok for awhile.Then it was time to replace the orings.I went everywhere in town trying to find the right oring with no luck.Harbor Freight,local hardware stores and even Tractor Supply.Nobody had anything that worked.I didn't like the push on design anyway on that injector.I decided to buy one from basstackle that screws on and love it.They also sold orings for those injectors and I bought several replacement orings in which case seem to last forever.i would recommend anyone looking to get into injecting baits to stay away from cheap made injectors and start out with a good quality injector.It is safer and if you are like me you will love making your own baits and will likely get deeper into this hobby than you intended to.

basskat Posted February 13, 2023 Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 Look at a specialty business that serves local factories. In my town "Tupelo Rubber & Gasket" carries or can get any size O ring. I'm sure there's a place near you similar. On a side note, if you wacky rig, you can pick up O rings by the hundred at a shop like this for the same price as 20 will cost you at Academy.

Les Young Posted February 14, 2023 Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 I had one made by authentic hand made from The Ukraine & it was bad to expand & contract when using. I made notches in the tip to be able to remove it with a screw driver & asked him what size Orings he used & then replaced them with a better grade Oring & it worked fine as long as you oiled it about every shot which was way to aggravating for me so i ended up selling it to another member after doing some trading with Frank on here for a basstackle dual injector. As long as i'm making plastics it will be basstackle injectors for me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Message the maker you got it from & ask what size orings they use in it. Edited February 16, 2023 by Les Young 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canga~ Posted February 21, 2023 Report Share Posted February 21, 2023 there is 3 manufacturers of injectors worth getting IMO, basstackle, fat guys fishing and N2 manufacturing. i own 3 basstackle (10oz single, 6oz dual and 3oz triple) and a 6oz dual fgf injector and they have all been great. i dont own an n2 injector but i hear great things, so i wouldnt hesitate to go that way either. there are a few others that make a good injector, like lurecraft (i dont like the screw on nozzle, i have one and its tedious after a bit, very secure though!) and bait junkies (very limited availability, if at all). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Young Posted February 22, 2023 Report Share Posted February 22, 2023 (edited) They say the injector that jacobs mold & machine is a good one too. Edited February 22, 2023 by Les Young Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Young Posted February 28, 2023 Report Share Posted February 28, 2023 I'd oil it about every 3 to 4 shots. I do mine as soon as i start to feel it tighten up & it's still on the original o rings after years of heavy use. I use worm oil on mine but some use pam cooking spray. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
