It’s a love hate relationship with tubes lol. I always dread making them and cutting tails but then using them makes me appreciate having the ability to make my own. I feel like big brands are lacking in their tube color selections
Hey buddy. I recommend a pneumatic tube cutter. It will make shooting tubes fun again. Some pneumatic tube cutters cut 2 at a time. They are fairly cheap and are around under $300.
It is a pain if your trying to make large quantities but for personal use it’s not terrible. They do make molds with splines on the rod so that it makes the skirt for you but they can get pretty pricey
The only ones I’ve seen with splines have been single cavity from do-it. I think the only multi cavities that I’ve seen have been custom and very pricey
Really liking your videos. Not sure how I haven't come across them til now but Subbed 👍 Got a couple tips from this one I'll be trying today. Thanks a lot and keep it up. I like both colors but lean towards the goby.
And I LOVE these hollow soft tubes, they make wonderful BIG catfish bait (holders)....Myself, I pinch a small hole towards head of bait as a vent hole and then with the aide of an emptied caulking tube I inject stink bait into the tubebait until it begins to exit the vent hole...this makes a method that holds the stinkbait in fast water while spreading the scent out to attract the fish....if used in calmer waters the smell may last for an hour or more before needing to be loaded again but I find that the fish quickly find this and bite in ON>>>>>>>
GP with gold and purple is my go to color. I have the same mold and same aluminum cutter. I mounted it to an aluminum can crusher and put a piece of thin 1/8" hard rubber under it that the blade can cut into slightly. Still never cuts them all and have to go one by one to make them decent. For my use tho.
Cutting tails is such a pain sometimes. The can crusher is a great idea tho. I just smack mine pretty hard with a mallet and it cuts completely through probly 75% of the time
The salt I use in the plastisol is the fine salt from Baitplastics. As far as the salt for packaging, any salt will work. I’ve even used table salt before but now I just use the fine salt for everything. baitplastics.com/product/fine-salt/
It is plastisol made by a company called Baitplastics I’ll leave a link for it below so you can check it out. baitplastics.com/product-category/liquid-plastisol/
The mold is from lurecraft and for injector two colors you will need a dual injector. I’ll leave the ones I use linked below www.lurepartsonline.com/6921-26-LureCraft-4-Tube-Mold-5-Cav.-2-Pc.-Alum.-Injection-5XLU-183 www.basstackle.com/TWINJECTOR_p/twinjector.htm
Great info!
Thank you 🤙
Those goby tubes look great. Haven't gone down the tube making worm hole. this was an excellent demo and thorough explanation

Great video👍 tubes are so under appreciated, I have 3 Angling AI tube molds, highly recommend to anyone looking for a tube mold.
I agree!! Tubes get used a decent amount up north for smallies but they are just as effective for largies. I use them a decent amount
Really like the goby color, they turned out great !! Thanks for sharing !
Thanks Max!! That goby color is going to be my clear water go-to
Superb presentation! Learned a lot. Love the Goby colors. Will have to try it. Thank you!
Thank you and thanks for watching!! We will have a lot of new videos after the holidays
Hard to beat a GP tube, bro. The goby looks great. Appreciate the solid content.
I’ve caught a lot of fish on green pumpkin tubes. So simple and effective lol
Another great video buddy! They looked awesome. Great job! Keep doing what you do! #N2TW_customlures rocks!
Thanks David!! I really appreciate the continued support 👊
The goby color is 🔥!!!!!! Very nice!
Thank you!!

I’ll eventually get one, I’m just pretty limited on space at the moment and don’t make them enough to justify it right now. They are fantastic though
Awesome video ++
Thank you 🙏
This color is awesome. Cool tutorial.
Thanks Cuda!! Appreciate it 🤝
Kind of looks like a pain to make. Been wanting to start making tubes just no sure yet. Thanks for sharing your process.

@@N2TW_customlures I've been looking but, can't seem to find them. would like to have 5 bait cav. Thanks

Super video thanks keep it coming
Thanks for watching 🤙
Really liking your videos. Not sure how I haven't come across them til now but Subbed 👍

I really appreciate the support. I’m still one of the smaller channels so I’m sure TH-cam doesn’t recommend it very much yet lol
I love re-runs!
Thanks man!! I’ll be uploading more after I get back from vacation
I don’t even fish or make bait lol but this video was interesting
Thanks Joe I really appreciate it!! I have a lot of close family and friends that are the same way. They don’t fish but really enjoy the videos

That’s awesome. I’ve never actually heard of using them for that before. I might have to try that out next time I go catfishing

Good looking baits. You make some detailed video content.
What kind of salt do you use in your tubes
@@gustavomaciel787 i appreciate the support. I just use the salt from Baitplastics in all the baits that I salt 🤙
The tubes look good!!! 👌What is your salt of choice?

I know in a year late but what brand of Cooper flake is that? It's a bit darker than i use, so if like to get a bit to compare.
@@dhbikerczar it’s from Baitplastics. I use a lot of their flake and really like it 🤙 thanks for watching!

Can you use any salt or does it need to be specific? Something like table salt?
You can use pretty much any salt but it is recommended to use a fine salt. Some people will even use popcorn salt which is more like a powder
@N2TW_customlures thanks a lot ill try it tonight
@@mikelabelle420 no problem 🤙
Hi
I need to know the name of this material, is it a regular rubber selicone?
Or something different?
It is plastisol made by a company called Baitplastics I’ll leave a link for it below so you can check it out.

Where did you get your tube mold at where I can do two colors at one time
The mold is from lurecraft and for injector two colors you will need a dual injector. I’ll leave the ones I use linked below

@@N2TW_customlures thank you
@@brickeyj123 no problem 🤙
Good but you should bet cutting all the way through your tubes easily with one try. Ur workbench probably too high not giving you enough leverage.
I can cut all the way through them fairly easy when I’m just making them and not trying to work around a camera for a video lol
All salt does is make it less durable js
I have a video on salt and what my opinion on adding salt it 🤙 weight and sink rates are the only benefit and only necessary on certain baits
