Jig Man Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 I have been making some slab knockers for my crappie fishing neighbor. I would like to get 2 colors but have been unsuccessful so far. I have tried putting them together over a flame like I do on bass baits but it hasn't worked well. I have also tried several different types of glue. Anyone have any suggestions?

nova Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 What's a slab knocker? Is it a tube or a solid bait? Do you pour baits or are you trying to piece a bait together? www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted March 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 They are solid baits which I am injecting so I can only inject one color. I have tried cutting them down and reinserting them and injecting another color. It does not work so I guess I am trying to piece them together now.

nova Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 I assume that you are using those hand injectors we warn folks about. Cutting in half and re-inserting should work. You have to make sure that the second color is very hot so it will bond with the frst color. And that is where the danger of getting burned is. What I would do is make a 2 part POP mold and pour them that way. Safer and easier. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a start to finish project which I have done and have 24 different injection cavaties with a lot of time invested. I have already tried cutting them and putting them back in the cavaties. It didn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloomisman Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 I'd go with the plaster mold too. I was just thinking make oneside without a pour hole so you could pour one side with it open and have a perfectly flat side then close the mold and pour the top half a different color. I think it would work. Jigman, is that just a back of a finesse worm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 What type of injection set up do you have? No I'm not sure what you have. I was talking of the hand injectors from Netcraft. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAE73 Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Jig man those look alot like a bait that is sold around truman lake, mo. What they do is pour the tail color as the one color, then heat a pyrex cup of the main body color to dip it in to get 2 colored baits. It seems to work pretty good for him. They dont seem to peel off very easy. If you are selling them please send me a email, I would like to buy just the single color and dip the rest for myself. tae73@aol.com include some prices and sizes. Thanks Ted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking of the hand injectors from Netcraft.www.novalures.com My system is totally home made. I am using cattle syringes and brass tubes injecting to lead plugs. I want end color differences instead of back/belly colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no plans for selling these things at this time. They are way too hard to do to sell them at a reasonable price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Ok. I'll go back to my origional idea. you should be able to shoot a second color on the back end of the bait and it should stick if the second color is hot enough. Don't let the first injection cool down too much and you should be alright. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
