What blend would you prefer for walleye I just bought the 4-inch tracer mold and 4-inch jigging mold with separate tail mold also. We've talked before Chris I run that big walleye group on Facebook for lake erie fishing. Thanks, buddy looking for other options for the lewc custom lure company We've already established.
I've been pouring since 1994. I started with Lurecraft. Good plastic, but expensive. I then ran MF for years. I started using Calhoun when Del became a distributor (Rest in Heaven Del). For years, I was using MF and Calhoun exclusively. Prices shot up reference supplies, shipping, and unfortunately, the distributorship of Calhoun. The distribution of Calhoun was not the distributor's fault. I continued using the remainder of my Calhoun plastic for personal use. Yes, I'm selfish. I then came across some freckle face, red head. It's not the kind of red head that I usually prefer. 😂😂😂 I started using D.O.P. I originally bought D.O.P. for the consistent availability and the price. Phthalate "free" was never a concern for me. I have good ventilation and wear a mask when I'm really pumping out the baits. Their is a learning curve when using a "Phthalate-free" plastic from any manufacturer. A vacuum chamber is a must. We all know the bubbles in plastic don't affect the bait. However, customers have high expectations of their purchase. As the little guy, we have to be better than the big guy. Even though the "Big guys" have bubbles, dents, and short pours. I will definitely be trying out the Red blend. It will be great for my Shooting Star. I will stick to the Black and White labels for my hand pours. Thanks Chris for the video. 100k is right around the corner!
Congrats on inching closer to 100k. Thank you for the videos. You got me started making my own baits and I've never been happier than when I catch a bass with something I've made.
Congrats on the subscribers! Your channel was my main resource when I started making baits several years ago. Thrilled to see you still putting out content.
This channel is what got me started making my own baits. I've only ever used d.o.p. for my baits, have never had any issues. I mostly use the back label, but have just recently got some of the floating. Baits always come out looking great. No need to shop around. U get what u pay for. Keep the content coming.
Black bucket worm blend or swimbait blend. Depending on how soft you want. Worm blend is softer then swimbait blend. Swimbait blend is a little more durable then worm blend. Generally baits 4 inches or larger I would use swimbait blend. Hope this helps. Also I do not use salt in my baits, adds moisture bubbles. Blk bucket is a sinking plastisol
So cool you're almost to the 100k subscribers mark! Thanks for sharing information. I don't make baits yet, but I sure do use them. I was wondering if it's possible to get the same type plastic that Nikko and Z-Man uses? I gladly spend more money on there baits because they last 10 times longer (no exaggeration) especially the Nikko baits. I have lost them getting snagged but have not worn a single Nikko Hellgrammite out yet.....FishOn.....Jim
Welp i bought me a 5 gallon red label after watching this. I think i prefer it over the white label i been using. Less cloudy also i have been cooking my plastisol to 400 thinking i needed to hit that temp to have it do it's chemical process, now i know all i need to go to is 350, thanks again dude.
Hey maybe with the triple injector you could do top and bottom clear with flakes only and do the middle strip your color? I’d like to see how that turns out.
The new Dead On Red Label seems to be a great choice as a "new user friendly" plastisol, to which point, I may have to dive into this as a next phase of my bait making! Maybe you could estimate how many of the baits we can pour with one gallon of plastisol. And compare the House Blend as well. I'd like to start out making a Pit Boss style bait. TIA!!
I had some unused plastic that was about 15 years old. I had no issues when I used it just recently. I still have one gallon of finesse blend left from back then.
Thank you for doing the review of the new plastics. As I'm almost out of deadon definitely on the list to buy a gallon of the new red and give it a try.
Ive been dead on from the start thanks to you both black and white lable but may try the red to pinch some pènnys all we have left is hope and change thanks jobama
Been using Bait Plastics 142/242 for about a year now & other than price I have no complaints. I wasnt a fan of the sticky texture DoP Black has, even with perfect heating processes in place. That was my only gripe. It goes away after curing but it just annoyed me. I'll give them another shot for sure as I really like their colorants but the freight puts it passed BP's price. Tried the FGF/Calhouns as well, fair amount of bubbles but decent after degassing or letting it sit for 5 minutes after loading the cup. Ozark Tackle is REALLY bubbly.
I started off this hobby using DOP but switched to BP. Haven't had any need to switch back, but after seeing this demo, I'll definitely be picking up a few jugs to try out !
Looks like a nother great product from dead on plastic what more do you expect only the best plastic to work with great information on the new red label been looking at it thanks again keep the content coming lets get the 1000k
Could you do a video/ short on how fast the red label baits sink? I do a ton of senko fishing and would like to use the red label but don’t want to make the bait half salt 😂
Would like to see the floating additive put in this red label. How is it effected in setup times, and clarity? I use dead on as my plastisol now. I get the 5 gal. When I order
I’ve messed it several brands of plastisol and have to say dead on is the best by far i have used. Handles excess heat, has low odor and remelts very well. It will always be my first choice for bait making!
Nice episode, we got started making baits a few years ago. That red label looks very interesting, can't wait to try it out! How buoyant is it? Neutral, floating or sinking? Thanks, have a great day! 👍🎣
If you use the red label plastic Which you say you can make very hot so if you're using the red label and you're doing a laminate let's say you're doing green bunking on top and they wait on the bottom so with the red label what would be the correct temperatures to do the lamination?
I currently am trying black label and house blend from deadon. Previously only used baitplastics brand. My impressions are deadon on seems more finicky about mixing. It REALLY must be thoroughly mixed or it’s a goey mess. Bp didn’t seem so finicky. But , to be fair bp has an opening big enough for a paint mixer and deadon doesn’t. Otherwise deadon seems to be clearer. But must be put in the vacuum chamber. Other characteristics like buoyancy will have to wait for ice out up here.. edit: yeah, two weeks later dead on going down the drain, ordering bait plastics. Dead on is way too temperamental for me. I’ve wasted 1/2 gallon and hours cleaning out goopy molds😢
I bought a gallon of the House Blend and and the first time I used it was a nightmare of flashing. Took a while getting the molds cleaned up afterward. The next go-round, I shot through a cold mixing block on the dual injector, and it worked better. Trying to remove the baits from the molds before the molds were dead cold was a problem, and the finished baits have to cure a couple days before they aren't sticky. Also bought a gallon of the Red Label Hard, and shot a few all-clear baits last night (with a bit of mica and/or glitter). On the plus side: Clear as glass, and very flexible. And for some reason, I was able to take 'em out of the molds after a few minutes without damaging the baits. Still a bit sticky but getting better as they cure. But definitely not "hard"...as @cody4672 noted in another post.
@@roberthall5616 yeah, it’s got to be thoroughly mixed, then mixed again. You shouldn’t have to wait to demold imo. It is super clear but not worth the finickyness
I know it’s just my 2 cents but my experience with DO is it runs soft compared to lures you would buy in the store. Worm blend would probably give you you Goldilocks for a 2” mold. Finesse will be VERY soft. More action but breaks a lot. Jerk/swim bait is what I run on most of my molds but I prefer them stronger and more subtle action I fish a lot of cold water.
Hay Chris , haven't commented in a while. I use dop worm blend in there black and there white buckets , try out there new red label as well , a tad cheaper I see.
Which plastisol will you be using and why? 3 great options now
Sinking still
What injector do you use?
I want to learn more. But would be dominant saltwater.
I currently use both Black and White label with no complaints. But, I am going to give the Red Lable a try.

You'll be very happy I think
Love you Chris thank you for all your help. Honestly what do you think of the house blend ?
Might I suggest using a clear open pour swim bait with just a touch of holographic glitter in the clear and then color of choice for the top.
Congrats on coming up to 100K. I share as much as possible and you will definitely get there soon.
Much appreciated!
Almost 500 degrees!! Amazing !!

Dude!! The beginning of this video tripped me tf out!!! 😂😂
Haha how so?
My name is Travis! 😂
Would like to see a laminate and or swirl and how it sinks. R. O. F. / thanks for the content. Keep on 🎣
It's a neutral plastic..will float on it own
What glitter is in Mardi Gras worm
Any follow up on how it affects the action in the water?
so is red label more durable then the other two , less bubles?
If you use the red label plastic Which you say you can make very hot so if you're using the red label and you're doing a laminate let's say you're doing green bunking on top and they wait on the bottom so with the red label what would be the correct temperatures to do the lamination?
How would that open pour, and if you did clear in layers and just used hologram powder to color different layers.
Would look beautiful
I just got my first gallon of red label, it's awesome, crystal clear. Did you use a vacuum to get all bubbles out?
Not in this video

I would definetly use it if it was available in Uk
Thanks for the information
My pleasure

Does the red label sink or float??
Float
Do they still have swim plastic?
It’s the cheapest name brand 1 gallon I’ve found. I bought 1 quart of plastisol for $25 from fat guys, compared to dead on 1 gallon for $35
How long does plastisol last on the shelf after being opened?
@@Soul-qm7dg several years
