I've got a couple new molds ordered.

I ordered the new Angling AI 190 & 250 skliiit tube molds. Will sure beat hand dipping if doing a bunch of them & you don't have to cut the tails either which will be nice for sure. You can do a laminate with one mold & then install in the other mold & inject the head color for a 3 colored bait if wanted. I've gotten rid of a bunch of other molds because i pretty much throw a baby shad, a crappie magnet & a tube anyway so i figured i'd just get rid of the others to cover the cost of the new ones that i know without a doubt that i will fish on every trip. This is how i've done my bass lure molds too & it works great for me. I'm definitely looking forward to getting these molds. :biggrin

I thought about buying their new mold in that tube series. We will probably order later on. We do have one from enforcer, but we don’t have where you take it out and shoot the head. I have to take them out and cut the head off and put it back in and shoot it. when you get the molds, would you please post some pictures?.

Bob yes i will. I have a 4 " angling ai double dipper tube mold that i really like. I do have to cut the tails but that's not a big deal with the cutting press i made. I have cut the heads off of them & inject the head another color & really like it too. I've had several of Josh' molds & all have been extremely nice.

I also have a press cutter it is commercially made. I don’t know where I got it from Loucraft. I do enjoy gapping and making tubes also, besides having the enforcer to mold that are already pre-cut in the mold put the mold is very expensive. The AI is really nice and for the money you can’t go wrong, I’m not saying that enforcer is not bad just a little Spinney, but it is a beautiful mold very well manufactured and we have done quite a few through it already but that one is not a tube. It has a solid head. I cut the pins off so I can make a solid head out of it not a tube. Bad thing pins are 100 bucks each to replace them and I just cut $50 off, but we do plan on buying the AI in the future .

I had one of Curts solid tube mold too. I've had a bunch of Curts molds actually & they're definitely good stuff.

Bob as you can see the AI mold does a great job. I also laminated a batch length ways to see how it done & they turned out great too, but I forgot to get pics. Don’t hesitate on these molds. I bought both the 190 & the 250. I got rid of all my other crappie lure molds because all I throw is a crappie magnet, baby Shad & a tube anyway so I’m good to go now.

No idea why there’s two pics.

They look fantastic. I see fat guys is coming out with a mold, also 2 inch 20 cavities so they say.

I now see Josh has made two new bass tube molds that the tails don't have to be cut either. I'm a tube fanatic so i'll end up with at least one of them too. :ThumbsUp
