harley-cowboy Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Does anyone out there know how they make the Hula Grubs? I use alot of them and since I pour simple worms and creatures, I would like to try a challenge of these? Must be kinda like a tube pour but I know you Gurus out there know.... Thanks....

dvowell Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Hi Harley, I believe they are done with an injection mold system. Over on the forums at Del_Mart a method of making is posted as well. I think you can actually buy the skirts from Yammamoto and then fuse them to a pour from a twin-tail grub mold. -D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harley-cowboy Posted June 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Yeah.. Wermie Ernie here. Long Story behind that name and it has nothing to do with plastics. When I was a kid I played in the dirt all the time. WELL, I ended up with pin worms in my system. Since my middle name was ernest, my Mom called me Wormy Ernie.... AND IT STUCK for a long time. IT is all kinda a joke...but who knows. If I can make a little extra side $$$ to pay for my pouring... I'll take that, if not, I'll just have plenty of plastics for me and my friends. I JUST LOVE POURING and making baits that catch fish. Have a good one, Y'all WERMIE ERNIE..HAHAHAHAAAAA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siebler_custom_baits Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 ive got an idea for handpouring these baits and i think it will work if i ever get me butt off the kayak and start working on the molding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delw Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 There should be a post here somewhere , I believe it was on ika's try a search for ikas. Basically you just need a solding iron preferably with a flat knife tip some skirts ( GYB sells these in bulk) and some grubs put the soldering iron between teh skirt and grub and slide it out, they will fuse together. My buddy did this for GYB as a summer job maybe years ago. if you look at a skirted bait already made you will see they have been fused. if you dont have a soldering iron a butter knife heated up on the stove works just as well. Oh yeah trhe skirts you will buy from yamamoto are double skirted, take a razor blade and cut them in half if you feel the skirt is to thick, this way you will also end up with twice as many skirts too.
