H2o Hammer's stinger leech... kinda

H2o Hammer's Stinger Leech is GREAT bait! I liked it from the start, When Wicklundrh Posted
on his success with it on walleyes, work on the Clay masters had already started
( I hope it's OK that I used you guys directly...If not I'll delete it)
Had a huge brain fart thinking I could use a bucket as a mold form...No clamps, Just cut the bottom out to push
the molds out to open...The other is it will freestand to pour... Silly me...Pouring plaster into a bucket on it's side
Plaster has to super runny (Takes forever to harden) and takes way more steady hands than I have! This method is
sssssooooooooooo time consuming....Whats left of that mold took me an entire week to make!
Anyways
For the masters I used different sizes ofair nailer nails for the texture, While the 1st mold was setting up
I was wandering around the house thinking of what I could use as a master so people would look at me an laugh in disbelief
One of the Cavities is a BLISTEX LIP BALM TUBE!
I kinda went crazy with them too fast Trying stripes, dipping, etc.. But I was in a hurry to get a winning combo for the OMR
Tourney...It would have been the first time it got won using softies...They pulled fish, My spinner rigs were out of adjustment
so they were face hooked and I missed a lot of strikes

Hey Guys!
I have a NOOB question..
When you dip baits o any of you have a cooling trick? I was thinking of having a bowl of cooking to dunk the baits in to cool them quickly(To keep the cool little tails)

It depends on which plastic bait that we are working with the way that I set them up to dry up or dry sometimes I used nails and sometimes I will spray of a sheet with Pam and lay along a usually wait a few seconds after dipping so they kind of set up before you put them on a sheet or hang them the only thing that we actually dip is tubes picture enclosed.Attachment 268337

It's so funny that you used that pic Bob!
Since I'm pouring them I can't Fuse them like the more sophisticated Guys do and I remembered your post,
So I dipped them!

Dip them in a dish with water in it to cool after a clear dip

far out. can sure tell you are from minnesota, wasting perfectly good beer cups like that! ;)

:cheers2
