What is the best way to have tails freeze in place I let my lures cure for a couple days but on some of the thinner tail baits I run into problems later down the line for example this style of bait wondering if I should switch to a harder plastic see if that will negate some of the issues or take more time carefully placing the baits in their packaging?
I would say that your clamps are not Tight enough when you shoot them.But the one in the picture in your hand looks good to me.
They come out of the mold just fine I'm talking about long term storage like when I put them in zip locks and go to use them down the line the tails aren't straight
Do you put them in a container Straight Who’s plastic or you using if you don’t mind me asking.Quote:

That is the plastic that I use I don’t have that problem with the plastic as you probably know if you let that set up for 24 hours or more it gets harder as time goes the plastics.This past year we’ve used over 55 gallons of their plastic I love their plastic especially the mediums it holds up good and we don’t have any complaints from fisherman.Quote:

Have you considered changing the packaging to keep the tail straight?
I hang my baits on a pegboard For caring they should set up for 24 hours or longer I will try to post a picture later todayQuote:

That’s a horrible plastic mold. Had this mold once and hated how thin the tail was. A pain working with when trying to put back in mold to shoot body on. Plus no tail mold for this. Even bigger pain storing. Never got to use it here in Oklahoma but these crappie would tear that tail off every bite. Better stinger molds out there with better tails. I’d look else where than do-it for plastic molds.
I also had two of those molds and got rid of Them.Quote:

Depends on how many other chores my wife needs me to do. If it is important to her then it becomes a priority for me.Quote:
