Finger Lakes Bait Company Posted August 4, 2003 Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 I have the 5.25 senko mold and it is hands down the best mold! Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury Posted August 4, 2003 Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 Any mold that Del makes is machined well, and the 2 part molds are mated perfectly. He really is talented and has put alot of time into his molds. I have4 of the 4.25" 2 reapers, and the 5,25" mold as well as the 4.5" finess worm molds.

Haebar Posted August 4, 2003 Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 Do you have to use an injector for his two-part molds or do you just pour it in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury Posted August 4, 2003 Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 Mix the plastic/salt to how you want it, tip the mold slightly to one side, then SLOWLY pour the plastic in. This way you get no trapped air pockets and the mold fills to the top. Del makes them with a verry large opening to aid in the pour. It takes just a verry little practice. But then once you have it down you can click through a bunch of baits really pretty fast. TIP 2 color senko's::if you do have a production pot, the nipple fits easialy into the opening of the mold. Lift the handle 1-4 seconds to get your first color into the mold, then follow up with the main color. I use a chartreuce/watermelon that I truely love. The tip shines like a beacon on cloudy days. See the pic below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJMLuke Posted August 4, 2003 Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 I agree, Del makes a great mold! I have the 4.25" and it makes senkos as good as Yamamoto! Very easy to get the hang of, maybe 2 days?!!! As for the 2 color senkos, I make the same as Merc. Watermelon with a chatreuse tail. They come out great but I do it a little different. All I do is use a small 1 cup pyrex container for the chartreuse and a larger one for the watermelon. Works great! I pour right out of them with 000 problems. Good luck!

Mercury Posted August 4, 2003 Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 I tried it with the cups, but also got a chatreuce vein down one side, This way I didnt get a vein. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
