Senkosam Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 A friend that I got into making soft plastics bought 2 sizes of LC's Senko mold and I was very impressed with the results! For those that pour as a hobby and don't mind waiting until the plastic chills before removing, this mold produces soft sticks with larger ribbing (more light reflection) and good fore and aft tapers. For the newbie who's not into pouring a large amount of baits, it's worth the money. My buddy bought the 6" and 4" models and the bulk of the stick is a bit greater than Al mold sticks in the larger size - a nice chunky target - and the 4" is perfect for dropshotting, being slimmer than the Senko.

g3kk0 Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Agree with you there SenkoSam. The 6" is the equivalent of a cigar, and the bait fishes well here in TX. Also a dream to cast. The 7" flat side model works alright too. And believe it or not if you go totally weightless and use plastic that floats with the 6" or 7" model, the action rivals that of a Zara spook with minimal effort of the rod.

Senkosam Posted September 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 G3, I'll bet using harder plastic helps get the Zara walk! Sometimes I want a harder soft stick for early and late in the season to mimic hard jerkbaits. If I'm not jerking X-Raps, I'm jerking 4 or 5" harder soft sticks with no salt. LC does have some great molds that aluminum can't follow with certain designs. Nice to see they can compete with a full round stick mold at a fraction of the cost!
