JustFishin Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 Hello everyone, new guy here. Need some advise on an injector. Looking at the Jacobs Mold & Machine hand injector. I was thinking would I be better off getting a dual injector that comes apart to use as a single? I am just starting out this will be the 1st thing I purchase. I just built a bench to work from & ill pick up a cheap microwave from Walmart. I know there are quite a few things to get, I figure I'll get the expensive stuff out of the way now. Looking to just make some bait for myself and some friends. Thanks Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basskat Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 If you plan on making two color baits go ahead and buy the dual. Save you from doing it later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiderunner Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 Welcome aboard new guy! After years of using laminate plates, I bought a dual injector as a Christmas gift to myself. My advice. Go with the best you can afford. Make sure your injectors have locking nozzles. I have the dual from Fat Guys Fishing. It takes a lot of pressure to inject my molds. If they weren't locking, I'm sure they'd shoot right off making a dangerous mess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Young Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 (edited) No doubt Rick Jacobs makes some very nice molds & injectors too. I wouldn't hesitate to buy one of his products. I have several of his molds & they are definitely top notch. As far as a dual injector goes i would buy one to do like you said about taking it apart & using it as tow singles. Even though i have a bass tackle dual 6oz. & a single 6oz. I do at times take my dual apart so i can shoot three 6 oz. injectors at a time when i'm pumping a bunch of different baits out at once & it works great. If i was doing it over i'd buy a dual first.

SpoonMinnow Posted July 19 Report Share Posted July 19 (edited) JustFishin, How did you make out? I would like to see some of your creations. Tip: a mold is not always necessary to making soft plastics. You'd be amazed what you can create using a glassy floor tile or tablespoon as a mold such as this surface lure.
