Just found this guys channel, he has some pretty darn good content/videos on making soft plastic. He’s got few videos on making crappie and panfish baits. That is one draw back to other YouTube channels is they mainly focus on bass baits.
Crappie Tubes - YouTube
Thank you. I enjoyed this video. This is a nice mold. I like how the tube tail is built into the mold and how he used worm oil with a paint brush before shooting the mold. There is also nice video of dual injection for those who are curious as to how it is done.

Very nice video are those molds Available.
Oh he scared me every time he had nozzle off and pushed the plunger with injector towards himself! :yikes
Just put the nozzle on, bleed into cup and be safe about it.
I wouldn’t mind having a solid tube mold like that though.
Me too. I remember all to well the safety instructions Snake River told me.

Mike I should listen to myself I burn myself so many times I can’t remember it’s usually when I let my guard down and think I can get by without putting the gloves on that’s where I get in trouble sometimes if I’m wearing short pants which is a big no-no.
That guy in the video is kind of dangerous pouring the plastic into the Injector like that with the Pyrex cup and then pushing that plunger up please whatever you do do not do it sucked a plastic up into your injectors.
Here’s a picture of a mold that we are getting from Print a lure will be here in about two weeks 2 inch tube pre-cut in the Mold.

I pour mine in my injector but the nozzle twist on. I then bleed the air out of the injector into a Pyrex cup. I never bleed it with the nozzle off let alone towards my face. Plum dumb and crazy.
Nice!!! I’ll have to purchase a few tubes from you.Quote:
