Have you ever used glow powder in your plastic? Maybe a trick worm with the end of the tail that glows and normal colors up the body? Could be pretty sweet
I don't think everyone understands just how mind-blowingly valuable this video is to the hand pourer. I never thought you'd reveal your secret haha! Thanks, Chris!
I love how you stick to one lesson at a time per video which causes less confusion. This episode was strictly a lecture on the importance of heat and it made a lot of sense!
Got myself a mold and some plastic, the wife didn’t mind she actually encouraged me to have fun with it, I may soon add one of this mold to experiment a bit
This helped massively when I watched it for the first time a few months ago. I have the angling AI 4" open pour swimbait, and the open pour 5" jerkbait. My lures have been coming out better every time.
Wow!!! I needed that video. Im about half-way there learning this process and you just saved me time and money in plastic to finally learn the "heating game!!!" Thank you Went fishing with a friend and he says "you spend same amount of time fishing as looking at your baits? They catch fish!" I replied you won't understand.
I really like these swimbaits. As I've said in previous comments, You are awesome with your creativity and also your explanations on how to do things really helps. Much Love from Melbourne, Australia ✌❤🇦🇺🐠🐟
Great video, I have been having problems with all the glitters settling to the bottom of the mold when hand pouring. Do I have the mold to hot or is the plastic to hot. Need your expert advise.
@@WorldsWorstFishing it shows. I’ve watched your videos the last year, got setup 2 weeks ago to start trying my hand at it. Great tips here. Great videos. Really appreciate your wealth of knowledge.
Sweet bluegill pattern good luck with the storm I just got my first colors and glitter and plastic from dead on in a few silicon molds and I been learning from the best enjoy the videos I learn some new on poring baits every time I watch thanks again can't wait until the next video
This has probably been asked by now but where do you get the aluminum molds or do you make them and what if you want to do something more of a perch color how would you do that? Thanks.
As always a job well done, and the info is always greatly appreciated. Im far from being able to do a lot of these baits but i enjoy watching and learning.
Thank you so much for this video! It's definitely going to save me from some headaches 😅 How long do you normally let the molds cool before taking them out of the mold?
I've preheated my silicon molds on the griddle. Most Silicon has a heat tolerance of like 390. So I just set my griddle to 300. It takes about 20 minutes to preheat them but it works really well. I hit them with a heatgun if they need it but they usually don't. The baits turn out fantastic and I've probably done 30 or 40 rounds with no noticable effect. Just be sure to hit your molds with a silicon conditioner before you store them.
I have been wondering how to keep the head section pour from drifting toward the tail. Then,. Duh you put a mold under the griddle to angle it up. Why didn't I just think of that. Thanks for the info. Also, did I miss what the mix of the final pour was. Is that watermelon??
I had my glitter sink on the second layer. I used the aluminum open pour mold. I also noticed the glitter fell to the bottom of my pouring cup. I had to try stirring while pouring. Does anybody have any suggestion on this? Michael, I tried doing two layers with ribbontail worm silicon mold. I did have a batch that they just peeled apart. I did heat mold on griddle at 300° and those turned out a lot better.
@@DelawarePondHoppers Thanks for the info! wasn't sure if you could but the silicon molds on a hot plate or not. I found that swirling the cup after every pour helped with the glitter but cooled the plastic way faster.
Just wanted to drop a comment, I won't be able to watch this video for a couple of hours but I know it will be impressive. All your work is amazing in my opinion..
So i poured my first open pour yesterday. I was trying to remember what all you said and all i could think about was pour cold plastic into a hot mold. Well i did just that but i think my griddle was too hot because all the glitter sank to the bottom lol.
Chris, using the new AI open pour mold, I keep running into a up bleed from the belly up into the upper colors. Running my temps at the 350 plus or minus 3 deg. Any ideas
@@WorldsWorstFishing Ok, do you slowly decrease the temps as you progress thru the layers. Or slowly let the first layer cool a bit before doing the next one
Looking for any tips, prior videos, future videos for a beginner. I am just looking to start by melting my old senkos and creating new ones. I have a 2nd microwave and a pyrex measuring cup. I figure this is a good starting point before I start mixing my own color and everything. Is there a kind of mold I can hand pour but would give me a reliable senko style bait... for a beginner attempt, that I could also hopefully reuse once I get an injector or once I want to start mixing my own color or hand pouring more elaborate baits? Any advice appreciated. New to fishing and I think baits is almost like a secondary hobby associated with fishing, whether making softs, pouring lead, painting baits, collecting baits, etc. Thank you.
@@WorldsWorstFishing Do your older videos address how to get started? What mold I could hand pour a senko in? What equipment I need? I don't want to dive into the deep end first... want to wet my toes. I'll start reviewing your videos, but if you have a mold recommendation or a video recommendation to start with would be helpful. Thanks.
Hey man, does anyone sell like a basic kit of everything you need to get started? It's quiet a lot of stuff really- microwave, Pyrex cup, molds, flake, colorants, heating plate, plastisol, and probably more that I'm missing- or is that it?
Do you ever use the hot plate to use for injection shooting you should try that if not keeps the cups hot to keep molding.I learned that from BASSTACKLE guy way he done it when molding baits
that the only thing i need is allium molds so i can heat them.but my hand pour old school molds is not so i just have to fish them like i have to might be why fish hit them so good they not perfect
Thanks for watching and go practice!!!
Do you have a chartreuse shad color
Just wondering what mold is the grass grenade I looked it up and couldn’t find it
@@Pharretman149 i think its like little stinger or something from angling ai
@@aaronschellenberg1177 ok thx
Have you ever used glow powder in your plastic? Maybe a trick worm with the end of the tail that glows and normal colors up the body? Could be pretty sweet
I don't think everyone understands just how mind-blowingly valuable this video is to the hand pourer. I never thought you'd reveal your secret haha! Thanks, Chris!
Haha this ain't the layer blending secret...this is how to make better baits
I love how you stick to one lesson at a time per video which causes less confusion. This episode was strictly a lecture on the importance of heat and it made a lot of sense!
Once again you really amaze me how how smooth they look. Thanks man you tips and tricks has made my bait making alot more enjoyable
That's my hope
Got myself a mold and some plastic, the wife didn’t mind she actually encouraged me to have fun with it, I may soon add one of this mold to experiment a bit
Absolutely do it!
Can't wait to get these in the mail. Appreciate all your hard work Chris. Such an amazing inspiration!!!!!!
🙏🙏
Thank you so much,
Beautiful craftsmanship.
This helped massively when I watched it for the first time a few months ago. I have the angling AI 4" open pour swimbait, and the open pour 5" jerkbait. My lures have been coming out better every time.
What do you do to package your swimbaits when you sell them?
Wow!!! I needed that video. Im about half-way there learning this process and you just saved me time and money in plastic to finally learn the "heating game!!!" Thank you

One of your best educational videos ever man thank you for the details !!!! Awesome buddy awesome 👊😎👍🍻
Thank you man this one is a gold mine of info
EVERY time I'm making baits you upload a video!!! I am using the new angling ai jerkbait molds!
Haha hell yeah
Awesome! thank you for recommending this video !
Great video, I have been having problems with all the glitters settling to the bottom of the mold when hand pouring. Do I have the mold to hot or is the plastic to hot. Need your expert advise.
Great video. Very informative!
Very useful video!
Thanks man!
Makes this look so easy. The blow on it trick. Gonna try that. Pouring layers is so much harder than it looks goodness gracious.
Years and years of practice now LOL
@@WorldsWorstFishing it shows. I’ve watched your videos the last year, got setup 2 weeks ago to start trying my hand at it. Great tips here. Great videos. Really appreciate your wealth of knowledge.
Nice job Chris. Appreciate all the tips about temperature management
You should make some Gummy worm baits!! I think that would be cool seeing you pour the different layers of colors the other way!!
Sweet bluegill pattern good luck with the storm I just got my first colors and glitter and plastic from dead on in a few silicon molds and I been learning from the best enjoy the videos I learn some new on poring baits every time I watch thanks again can't wait until the next video

how long do you let your baits cool down for?
Beautiful work
thanks 4 the tips compadre, i´m working on it
Took many notes! Great information! Thank you!!
Well done Mr. Jones. Ty for the valuable knowledge.
My pleasure
that would be cool. I was thinking about buying some myself.
Practice practice practice !!! Another great video Chris !!
👌👌
I’m new to this hobby and you’re so helpful
Thanks 👍
Nice; thanks for the video!
These look incredible!! Nice work!!
As always a job well done, and the info is always greatly appreciated. Im far from being able to do a lot of these baits but i enjoy watching and learning.
Well don't hesitate to try it one day
Please add a link for your hot plate and clamps. Mostly the clamps.
Awesome tutorial and great info, thanks for making the videos and sharing.
I found it on Amazon for $49.00. I think the brand is Presto...
Thanks good stuff..was you using craw tube or swim bait plastic??
Tube
Thanks Chris
Thank you so much for this video! It's definitely going to save me from some headaches 😅
How long do you normally let the molds cool before taking them out of the mold?
Until they are comfortable to touch
Question since I'm just starting the open pour world do the clamps start to melt with all that heat or do they withstand that kind of heat
Hope you and your family fared well with the storm and all glad to see your ok
We are fortunate it never got bad here
Great vid. My question is how do you get rid of the cold cracks when you only have rubber molds because pre heating is so much harder.
I've preheated my silicon molds on the griddle. Most Silicon has a heat tolerance of like 390. So I just set my griddle to 300. It takes about 20 minutes to preheat them but it works really well. I hit them with a heatgun if they need it but they usually don't. The baits turn out fantastic and I've probably done 30 or 40 rounds with no noticable effect. Just be sure to hit your molds with a silicon conditioner before you store them.
Thanks for the reply have you done any vids on it?
Hey Chris just ordered a new senko mold and I’m so excited love the Channel and have a great day
Thank you so much
Do you need any special clamps when clamping them on the hot plate? I have 2 blue clamps from Home Depot…
Gorgeous pour -- love the color combo
Thank you
Good info! That answered a lot of questions for me! Thanks! 👍
💪💪
Sir! As always, everything is beautiful!
🙏
Looks great. I think the pearl belly would look great with addition of the hint of lavender hypershift tint.
Can you please tell me where I can buy the mold , thanks in advance :)
Kind regards Imad
Just got to watch the video enjoyed it, Chris.
Do they have big Barney flakes?
LOL
Thank you for a detail video..
U bet
Great looking bait! Great video
Hey Chris, do you level your griddle or is the built in slope of the griddle so small that it doesn’t effect the pour?
Very cool bait! BEAUTIFULLY done! 👍❤
🙏🙏🙏
Do you have a triple c block if so where can I get it?
I have been wondering how to keep the head section pour from drifting toward the tail.
Then,. Duh you put a mold under the griddle to angle it up. Why didn't I just think of that.
Thanks for the info.

Great video Chris keep them coming
We will
@@WorldsWorstFishing I know I look forward to seeing all your videos
Very nice 😊
This is a video you might want to touch on every year. I only have a few open pour molds, and I get impatient trying to get another batch out quickly.
To pretty to fish!! Great job!
🙏🙏
Is there a way to do this with silicon molds? I struggle with delamination on mine and when
I use a heat gun my glitter sinks. loved the video!

@Michael Williams most silicone molds can withstand 395°
Awesome video once again, the baits look amazing.
Thank you sir, hopefully you enjoyed the video
Great video and information
Thanks 👍
Just wanted to drop a comment, I won't be able to watch this video for a couple of hours but I know it will be impressive. All your work is amazing in my opinion..
Thanks brian, this one is extremely educational so I hope you will enjoy it
How long of a cool down time before you pull them out of the mold?
Cool color bossman I bet bass lining up to take a bite 🎣😃
Yeah this is definitely an eater color
Very cool. Great info. I haven't even gotten this far yet.
You will
@@WorldsWorstFishing got some more closed pour molds comin. I'll be able to do 7 types of worms & neds.
Just started getting into bait making im about an 2 hours down the road from you in Crestview.
Nice!!!
How do you rig these swimbaits?
I was wondering which craw mold u think is best. The ecto craw or punch bug. Also great video!
So i poured my first open pour yesterday. I was trying to remember what all you said and all i could think about was pour cold plastic into a hot mold. Well i did just that but i think my griddle was too hot because all the glitter sank to the bottom lol.
Yep that can happen
Wow good job
I hope Fred is good to you. Be safe!
So much knowledge, and so good at sharing it!…Sensei 😎
Thanks todd, this one is extremely educational
@@WorldsWorstFishing I think I saw a big ole gizzard swim bait laying there!
@@lureup9973 hehe
B-e-a-utiful bluegill swim bait. I think I’ve found yet another retirement hobby. What molds do you recommend? Thanks!
Angling Ai molds
Thanks!
Chris, using the new AI open pour mold, I keep running into a up bleed from the belly up into the upper colors. Running my temps at the 350 plus or minus 3 deg. Any ideas
Do you plan on doing another colab with Marling Baits? The frog was pretty awesome.
How can we get a discount code to buy some of these goodys from Angling AI
Awesome video man!
Thanks Bobby
I'll be looking out for these on IG.
Are you heating your plastic to a lower temp than what a typical injection would be? BTW awesome vis thanks
No, generally I pour at a higher temperature than I like to inject
@@WorldsWorstFishing Ok, do you slowly decrease the temps as you progress thru the layers. Or slowly let the first layer cool a bit before doing the next one
@@DeeDee-vu5mi it's all about timing, the molds are preheated very hot and I let the layers set up slightly before pouring the next
@@WorldsWorstFishing Thanks so much for your info.
As always those are killers , thanks for the in depth lesson
how do you minimize bubbles? When I heat my plastisol (Dead On Plastix) it bubbles like crazy
That fast forwarding was funny sounded like the little people from Space Balls. But cool video
Haha

duel tail colors on swimbaits? Double and triple glitter mixes in plastics? ideas for future plastics.
Those Earth Eyes, where can you get them in bulk so that they are much more affordable? Thanks!
How do you test the plastic temperature
Would like to seen a closer look at the 2 you over poured the blue on
Call me... I'm a landscaper. Clarify this with the water 😊... Good practical video

Do you sell your baits? If so I am looking for something like a bass assassin curly tail, albino body, fire tail, I can't find them up here in Ohio.
Banger alert
This one is very educational
I would like to see you make redeye shad swim baits
Do you ever use the hot plate to use for injection shooting you should try that if not keeps the cups hot to keep molding.I learned that from BASSTACKLE guy way he done it when molding baits
My first attempt pouring the AI 5in SEATS. They turned out beautiful laminates. Ruined them with the clear dip. 1 side was cloudy, the other was clear
What I’d I don’t want to make my own...how do I purchase these from you?
Gift for me😍😍😍👍
that the only thing i need is allium molds so i can heat them.but my hand pour old school molds is not so i just have to fish them like i have to might be why fish hit them so good they not perfect
Great vid man , I’m still trying to find someone to make my mold . Either they aren’t doing custom molds or don’t respond back 🤷🏻♂️
Most do offer custom
Don't*
Oh! Is that t shirt for sale somewhere or is it a custom just for you?
It's on my teespring link in the description
@@WorldsWorstFishing right on!
How long between pours so they don’t mix
You answered my question
I have some of his baits. I want to pass them on to someone who can appreciate them.
