Thread: for you guys it make plastic baits tricks of the trade

I am like you snake. I use a carry bag with the plano boxes. I carry lots of baits with me. The only bad part is, most of the time out of all those colors, they may only bite 2 of them. However, sometimes you dont know which two it will be. That is why I carry them all. I have never used pline but I have heard good stuff about it

Snake, metal injector syringes are the way to go and they cost less than 50 bucks through Bear, Jacobs or Lurecraft.
Just remember to use rubberized fishing gloves when handling the syringe for multi pours. The metal gets a might hot.
Easy to clean (pop out the blob left inside) and start again.

A glass candy thermometer works fine and costs a few bucks. I've had mine for five years and it goes to 400 degrees.
Temps over 300 read in about one minute. I keep my plastisol around 300.

Agree. Core shot grubs in two colors work as good as tricolor grubs.

I agree with you. I may carry a lot of plastic baits in jigs but I'm only using one or two out of the whole bunch. I deal direct with the supplier for the US on Pline we plan on buying a giant spool of 4 pound test which is my main poundage for crappie fishing we have done real well with large fish with 4 pound test . Most of the time we were use them lightweight graphite spin cast to do my fishing with I had a custom-built rod built by big daddy they are fantastic rods you get what you pay for. We plan on ordering a couple more they run about 120 blocks. But I tell you the action in them is fantastic you take a half pound crappie you think you have a 10 pound crappie . I wonder why so many people like us carry so many plastic baits when normally we only use one or two out of the batch and usually they are our favorites, but if all else fails then you have to start going through different patterns to find out with they are going to hit I could tell you one thing, I usually know when the fish are not around, usually after can cast if I feel nothing, I know the fish are not in that pool water order weighting towards evening. I do not prefer to fish real early for them early spring. I fish in the early mornings and late afternoons.

we do use metal injectors or main injection into the molds the little plastic syringe is only used to feel that small space on the cavity of the mold I would like to see them come out with a miniature metal syringe . Yes I would imagine that a candy thermometer would work fine you probably would get a truer temperature reading use in a laser I type thermometer is somewhat off a few degrees every time you take it but it will give you the general temperature getting back to the metal syringe they are too big to do the fine work that I want to do . We do not recommend that small syringe for filling the main cavities or shooting your molds it's only meant to be used to fill in the backside of one a year baits in the mold .

yes, they do work. Even a solid color works just fine. If the fishery and or biting we will be working with that dual injector more in the future. We have to get that down to were I am good at it. It's a little tricky if you guys do you say dual injector one trickiest to put those injectors and a toaster oven and heat them up to 350° you have to keep that fine tip hot is soon as you pull them out of the oven. Make sure that you get them filled up and leave them in the plastic into you get ready to pull them out and then you better go like hell . If you have more than three molds to fill they work fine once you get this down and learn how to work them. I think they have a cool look especially with different color combinations . We will be working with some browns and grays and stuff like that in the future. We're what and to imitate different bait fish in the water.

You can use with a little modification a turkey injector. Pain to clean because the parts screw together. Run about 9 bucks.
