That is a fantastic bait! Is that a custom mold? You should sell a ton of them

It is a tough mold to shoot . You have to have the mold very hot and you have to have the plastic around 400° and you have to shoot very fast and hold pressure

I guess with those real thin tentacles you would have to be plenty hot. Have you ever tried lubing up the mold cavity with worm oil or Pam or something? I have read that it helps get the mold filled. I have never tried it. Perhaps someone else on here has. I have a Mo Magic mold that gives me a little trouble at times but I just seem to avoid using it. Maybe I should get it out and give her a try with some oil

I have had mo Magic molds they can be a little bit finicky at times you may want to shoot them pretty fast and hold pressure and try that with them just make sure you run your plastic about 350° you may want to heat up your injectors if they are cold also you may want to put your molds into a toaster oven and warm them up see if that helps you. This mold here I had to shoot very fast the plastic was 350° and you have to hold pressure and shoot fast it helps like I said to heat up the molds in the injectors.

is this plastic designed to be hooked with the tail flat or with it vertical like a normal fish tail?. i do know with it flat it will most likely fall slowe rand act more like a crawdad.

Dang Bob - I never heat plastic to over 300 degrees but can see how injecting that skirt might be a problem at a lower temperature !

That is too low of a temperature for everything that I shoot I shoot 350 and above mostly at 350°.

Bob, I'm not big on skirted grubs though I know they are excellent for most bites. The higher the temperature I've found yellows light, translucent or clear colors faster which I prefer and I'm a stickler for true color especially when using fine glitter - and glitter in general - will fade faster at over 300 degree on the reheat. I don't sell lures so restocking or making lures in a large quantity for quick sales is not an issue.

Are you still making a spoon baits in your case I don't think you would even have to have it at 300° knowing what you do it's whatever you get comfortable with.

I stopped using a spoon as a mold years ago though I still use a teaspoon (lure on the top) or tablespoon (one on the bottom) for topwater bass baits.

When the time is right for surface lures in weeds, bass clobber them! I do use silicone strands for the rear skirt which sways with every waddle and floating plastic.

For spoon minnows, I only needed a glossy floor tile held at angle pouring a wide area, cutting the minnow shape (box cutter blade at left) and dip the body three times. A lure I can always depend on regardless of season.
examples:

But as you well know they sell aluminum molds that do the same thing far faster and in different shapes and sizes depending on the mold:

Plus, I can always cut off the thin tail and attach it to a thin flat body using a candle flame. Thin flat bodies and tails used with very slow retrieves provide the action I prefer and especially under a float.

Looks good Bob. Those Shad stingers in that color work great for me. Caught a bunch on them.

There are some colors on the website I cannot post anymore we’re in the transition or switching different website provider so it will be a while before we add any more to the website but the website is good to use on what I have on it right now. There will be some major changes to make it a little bit better .
