This is very helpful Chris..... Thanks.... I just gotta extend my appreciation man.... Being new to this hobby myself, I find about everything you do helpful.... Dead on plastics is superior in your opinion, in my opinion this you tube channel is superior!... By far the coolest content I have found!..... Keep them coming man... Thanks
Another Great lesson buddy! Love watching and learning. The bleed in the laminates to me makes it look a little more natural. Appreciate all you do. Keep em coming
My Dead on Plastix just shipped .. I’m so excited 🤗.. I love how you break everything down and explain the process so well.. I can’t wait to get started .. thank you so much for your videos 🤘🤘🤘
I was a huge Nirvana fan and I still love their music. The “unplugged” session that they did with MTV is simply amazing. I still listen to it while I work.
Sweet little garden man, for the box are those 2x10s...my lady has her little flower bed in the front...i always wanted to grow my own peppers...love your videos man I can't stop watching you make these things...literally addicted
Hi Chris, Just wanted to thank you for taking the time to help those of us interested in getting in to making lures. Your videos sure make it a lot easier to get started. I also have a question, where is the best place to get a dual injector ? I have been making my own lures for about 6 months now and I think I am ready to attempt laminates. Again Thank You for all the help !!
Nice! Complete with Flamdrags. Flams & Fishing. I can dig it. Back 2 Basics I thought i"d see some 8's and 8's this time. good stuff man, the baits especially. Technique is always paramount i see. again good stuff man.
I finally picked up an AI handpour mold and made some awesome laminates with the watermelon seed and purple you showed in the last Back to Basics video. Thanks man!
Awesome video! I spent 2 days trying to figure out why I couldn’t get white pearl powder to laminate with electric blue colorant and not have bleed over. Glad to know it’s not something I was doing! Thanks man!
Hey you inspired me to start my own baits. I used plaster of Paris to make a mold and I am just hand pouring. I’m not very good but I’m just starting and bait pouring is so fun. I can’t wait to get more professional molds to make cool baits like you do
Your videos are very informative especially for someone like myself who is starting to get into the game and just wanted to say watch the squash they tend to take up alot of the garden
Perfect timing. I'm trying to make a bait with the same injector you are using. Angling AI 5 Inch Bloodline mold. Just using your first colors of green and orange/yellow. I want it to be more like 80% green on top and 20% orange on bottom. But would settle for 60% green on top and 40% orange on bottom. Problem is I keep ending up with 40% green on top and 60% orange. Any tips on temp or whatever so I can make it mostly green?
Hey chris I need some help with California 420 color, I know it's a laminate but what are the colors I think its watermelon green /red flake and ??? I dont know what the darker color is unless its black/red flake. What are the colors you used?
like the orange and green one. I just made a really cool laminated stick bait with a black side and a purplish side with blue flake. smells good too. Added some scent to it.
I've been watching for a long time and I still enjoy the basics. Great vid. I enjoy the simple molds but how you get to the desired color is the real magic. Playing with colors and flakes is fun. We need a chatterbait trailer mold. Since you have a connection, maybe you can mention it to josh. I have some real ideas as to design. The chatterbait has been key to putting matt and I on the map here in Oregon. Took up too much of your time...but I'm still looking for a drummer for an electric blues/rock band. Lol
Would love to see if you can do the core shot 5in. Senior in the Gary Yamamoto 194j fading watermelon. I just order one from angling ai Any help would be great got to love spell check on apple phone (stick bait) core. Been pouring about 5 yrs. the old presto pots. Just order injectors & some dead on black label watching your vids. Great job keep it up. Would like to get some info. On some things if possible
I know this is a late response but if there are no straight line in nature, why is the bleed a problem? sorry, I'm getting into this late + am color blind to red and green, not the 2 best colors for designing bass lures
I perfer when you do crazy bait ideas and complicated stuff but no matter what it is good content I if the masses perfer this then I enjoy it no matter what
Hey Bro, I really need your advice. If you were making 2-3" jerk bait minnows for trout & you want them to suspend & slowly sink what plastisol would you buy?? God Bless You for all your help!
@@WorldsWorstFishing Not to sound like a fruitbag, but your one cool mofo Chris. I think it took you less than a minute to reply. I looked it up & The Feather Floating Swimbait formula is only $40 a gallon. I trust your advice that it will slowly sink/suspend rather than just sit on the surface. I'm assuming a hook is all the weight it takes to begin a slow submersion w/this formula. Anyway, God Bless your for your kindness & all the time you've put in at Harvard to become such a world renowned Baitological Engineer and respected leader in your field.
Nice. Good tips for new folks as well as experienced. When I first started, I thought the hotter the better. I had a ton of dimples. Bought a temp gauge and that has changed the game. For me, I inject at 285-310 degrees depending on size of mold. Another tip for laminating is if you dont have a laminated injector,you could pour one side and inject the other side a little hotter to infuse the two.
Thanks man, from the first video I saw you do makes me want to get started into making Plastics baits, come to fayette Alabama and I'll put you on some big big bass
I haven't planted my garden yet supposed to drop back into the 20s next 2 days. Do u do anything with the pieces that are left over out of the molds? Like the runner?
Is it correct to assume that on the worms, the tail is going to be the color of your bottom color? It seems to be in your video, just wondering if that’s the norm? Also, I watched a diff channel on using a laminate plate, Senkos specifically, it seems the dual injector and blending block is easier, quicker and all around more convenient, is there a specific use where you would use/need the lami-plate? Thanks, great video👍🏻
Your videos help me so much I’m new to this and I still have a problem with powder colors idk if it’s a temp thing or what but The one spot in the craw is hollow 9/10 times I have tried different things but nothing consistent
LOL!! Hi Chris, we share some hobby's man! Playing with plastic, and growing tomatos and jalapeno's!! only 10.000k's appart. lovin all your vid's! greets from Holland,Mark
It was great video man. Quick question though I've got one mold that everytime I make baits in it one side has bad flashing and other side is perfectly fine was wondering if u had any advice on how to prevent this I've tried shooting the plastic a little hotter a little colder held less pressure and more pressure nothing seems to make it better
Nice quarantine hair, it looks as bad as mine does, lol. Good refresher video at a most opportune time. My VERY first Angling AI mold is scheduled to be delivered to me Saturday. You've set the expectations very high for me, I hope it shoots as well as they do in you vids (I went with the Ecto Craw). First thing I wanted to point out is about cleaning the injectors. You did nothing wrong, but I wanted to say that after a year of shooting Senko molds, SALT has become the bane of my (and more importantly the O rings in my injectors) existence. Clean your injectors out immediately following your salt injections. One of my ideas for the Ecto Craw mold is a black back with a belly using only small red flake. Is the goal still to get both cups to the same temp before shooting them?
Really nice baits man. When you use no coloring, does your plasticol sometimes fog up? I expiramented with clear and blue glitter and some turned out really clear after curing and then some werent that clear, they were nore foggy. Im using Do it plasticol
Hey my name is Nolan I am 14. You have taught me so much and that is the reason why I just bought a bunch of bait making stuff including 3 moulds and injector with a couple colours and a glitter A kind person on facebook sold me this for a very good price. Sadly though I cannot get plastisol that is under $50 per gallon US shipped from anywhere because I live in Canada any suggestions on what I should do?
Don't you just hate when things work out so well you have to go back and try harder to mess up...lol done it to long to be bad. Good job Brother keep them rolling
Not sure if you have done this before , but I think it would be a cool idea if you did a “how to/everything you need to begin pouring plastics” so people can kinda get an idea on what they would need and the costs, etc.
A detailed & technical video today, but hope you find it helpful! Thanks for Watching.
learn how to make a great bait before worrying about packaging, marketing etc...LEARN the craft, then sell.
what is that worm mold, im looking to get one, and i really like that one, or a curl tail with a straight body
@@jonscobey2212 it's the basstackle 5 inch ribbon tail
Could you do some sexy shads molds
@@WorldsWorstFishing can you make sexy shad baits

Haha no regrets

Now THAT is an OG green sunfish pattern !!!!

You should do a video of your top 5 favorite molds and also injecting into them
Chris, Another great video! I hope you can do some videos about adding sent to your baits. How, when, and why. Thanks for all of the great videos!!
Another Great lesson buddy! Love watching and learning. The bleed in the laminates to me makes it look a little more natural. Appreciate all you do. Keep em coming
I prefer the uneven laminates myself!
Nice tip on keeping the opacity similar between the colours. Something I didn't really consider until you pointed it out.

Keeping me thinking about the staples of a good bait
me as well!
Great 👍🏻 tips Chris. I was always having trouble with my laminates bleeding. This seems to have fixed the problem. Keep the content coming...
thanks man
Hmmm still trying to figure why I can only get one run of laminate in the ai core shot (no core) to not bleed over...
Nice garden. Looks like your tomatoes are doing well in that fl heat. Nice color choices green and orange go canes🙌🙌
thanks...and boo canes! lol
This channel is the greatest
Thanks Chase

I just ordered my first open pour mold.... can’t wait to make my first bait and TRY to catch a fish with it
you will!
Hey Chris another great Video always learning something safe my Friend
What size duel injectors do you use
9oz
great stuff keep them coming. Would like to see a vid where you show us all your molds
Will do
Your videos are very informative especially for someone like myself who is starting to get into the game and just wanted to say watch the squash they tend to take up alot of the garden
Good to know!!! Thx for watching
Looking for worm mold that is bigger…thicker in body, any you suggest?
Is the first blending block from bass tackle?
Do you heat the molds or the injector prior to shooting?
Great video who makes the jerk bait mold. Thank you for your video
where do you get the big injector? the 9oz on I believe
Another great teaching video! Thanks.
My pleasure!
Needed this video. Thanks man! I have no green thumb but thankfully I can fish! lol
Glad I could help!

Yes, more back to basics please. Could you also talk a bit more about fumes, contamination, storage etc... 👍🍺🎣
What if you rotate your injector 90°? Or rotate as you inject?
looks sloppy imo
@@WorldsWorstFishing does it swirl?
Would laminates with pearl powders work better with a laminate plate vice a blending block with dual injector?
yes...but I prefer the dual injector personally
Where can you buy the stuff to make your own soft plastic baits at
Hey chris I need some help with California 420 color, I know it's a laminate but what are the colors I think its watermelon green /red flake and ??? I dont know what the darker color is unless its black/red flake. What are the colors you used?

good stuff, thanks for sharing
What dual injector are you using?
like the orange and green one. I just made a really cool laminated stick bait with a black side and a purplish side with blue flake. smells good too. Added some scent to it.

Do you think you could do a review of the dead on plastics paragon effects?
Hey Chris. What is a laminate plate and how does it work?
These are my favorite series!
Sweet
Would love to see if you can do the core shot 5in. Senior in the Gary Yamamoto 194j fading watermelon. I just order one from angling ai

What mold did u use for the ribbon tail worm?
its fromm basstackle, 5" ribbontail
Video on cooking more then one cup 1 comes out in gel and ones still milk no way to get both cups to temp at same time i dont get it
Where can I buy these molding kit?

if I can get some i'll try and do it

Were do you get your molds at ?
angling ai, basstackle, stankx, BTS etc.
Thanks man, from the first video I saw you do makes me want to get started into making Plastics baits, come to fayette Alabama and I'll put you on some big big bass
What name brand mold are you using?
What kind of dual injector is that?
What company did put your logo on those bait bags like that?
I haven't planted my garden yet supposed to drop back into the 20s next 2 days. Do u do anything with the pieces that are left over out of the molds? Like the runner?
Usually toss them
How would you remelt these without the colors combining together or is there no way to separate them
You cannot really separate them so I usually toss em
Good vid thanks👍so what have with the give away from the happy jack stash of plastics
havent announced yet..its still gaining a lot of views
Do paddle tail swim baits laminate pretty well?
Some do some adult it depends on the mold configuration and symmetry of the bait
Hey. Chartreuse is sometimes a light green and sometimes a highlighter yellow. Why not do a two color laminate with them?
Could you possibly run the pearl color a little hotter to combat the blend?
that would actually probably make it bleed more..hotter the more chance of bleeding

yeah not a fan of the plates..usually the more dominant color takes over the tail
where do you get your craw molds? the one with 3 cavities! thanks
Angling ai stinger mold
I’m new to fishing and wanted to know what are good baits for bass
How does someone get in contact with you about buying baits? Interested in the mid mag in the same dark orange/green you did with the curl tail
Cool looking color I think you should try senko with that color it’s the bomb
I love the green and orange 😍
thank you
Anybody have any starter links for molds and the rubber that I need and how to melt the rubber
Your videos help me so much I’m new to this and I still have a problem with powder colors idk if it’s a temp thing or what but The one spot in the craw is hollow 9/10 times I have tried different things but nothing consistent
Hold pressure on the injectors for 10 seconds..light pressure and see if it fills. Some molds are quirky sometimes
World's Worst Fishing I will try that and should I be pressing hard shooting it fast? or should I do it slow bc right now I’m doing it fast as I can

a minute or so

I got some ideas for making some custom molds do you know on an average how much that would cost me and where I could get that done?
It's mega $$$ to have a custom CNC mold made . Not sure who is doing custom work currently.

Can the bubbles be stopped without vacuum chamber
