I am just starting out and have a couple of molds, with no eye sockets. Has anyone used a dab (or little skin skin pour) of clear plastic to hold the eye in place on the side of the mold....'til you shoot the main body color(s) into the mold? Thanks!

A lot of great advice, I recently started a KZbin channel, and making baits about the same time. I did this because they were something I wanted to do. The next thing I know, everyone is telling me what I should do. PS watching a bunch of your videos got me off to a good start with the bait making, thanks.

Looks awesome! What color of powder do you think best replicates KVD Ochos Glacier worm? I really like the flakes in them Thanks ahead 🔥🎣🔥

Amen

i did the same with Yamamoto's watermelon magic untill one day said good enough and i catch more fish with it than the yamamoto

i have done the same thing with Yamamoto's watermelon magic i was on that color for 6 mo to get it to match untill one day i said good enough and would'nt you know i caught more fish with it than the Yamamoto's

Amen sensei! More of this please!

I don’t know ow if you are still looking at the comments in your older videos but I have a random question. Where do you get your stickers made?

Great video and thoughts. I am in my mid 50’s and spent a large part of my adult life looking over the fence at the greener grass. What I have learned is, sometimes the grass really is greener over the fence. BUT it’s because instead of working on my grass I was watching them. Now my grass is the greenest to me. Good words brother!

Some good points. Society has created this instant gratification mentality and it’s unfortunate. I look at bait making as an art form and try and create something awesome. As far as what others think, it’s never had an impact on me. Thanks for sharing.

Love that you say "Glove Up" but only put it on the top hand 😂 That is a total power move! Keep on keeping on man. Congrats on 100K Dork!! ❤

Wise words Masta Jones! Thank you for the reminder to enjoy the "true happiness" is life, that fullfillment than can only come from being a better you in the things that matter. Thanks man. 🎣

Awesome episode. Stay happy with yourself and trust in the Lord always. When things are great praise God When things are tough praise God.

Funny how wanting to learn bait making reminded me of a lesson learned from baseball...

that was absolutely awesome advice. Many people never take time to enjoy their own blessings. It is wonderful to see young people thinking like that. And remember one thing, Always keep your eyes on the Son!!!

white in green worm look great

Great Video Chris. Makes you Stop and Think for a minute about some of the stuff I’ve made, and All in All I guess it wasn’t that bad. 🍻

Kakean omong

Wise words, I like the analogy and so true in most aspects of life

Good advice all around

Yes sir you are right can't go through life chasing other people's life or anything else for that matter just be how you are and do your best as a father and as a bait maker I have no talents at all never did but I never knew that I would be able to make baits for others and sale to a local store it's a good feeling when someone comes tells you they been catching them on your own baits love this hobby thanks again triple j baits

Fwiw I think your trout pour is infinitely better. I really need to get started with hand pour instead of only doing injection. I need to make 3" trout that look like that.

I have seen you make stuff that no big bait company has done. I don't make my own baits but if I did I would strive to a quarter as good as you do.

You said it perfectly!! Great video ++

The watermelon is a lie

I don't try to copy or do what zoom or culprit any of the big name companies I make my bait making what makes me happy I rather be a leader instead of follower Mr Chris hit the nail on the head

I've learned that everybody sees color different meaning I look at what shade it is and go from there until I get the color i like .....

I feel a color matching video comming up on matching zooms watermelon red lol. Well said Mr. Jones

💯👏👏👏👏

Lol......Chris I started Fed. 2013 And i was the same way I chase the zoom colors and still do .....I live 60 miles East of you in Lee Fl.

Chris as a former tattoo artist with some color knowledge, and a former Floridian, I'll never chase. I will make my own way, as I always have. As to watermelon red, pppf 😂. Chameleon baby, or my ol fav tequila shad all the way. I do thank you sir, you've helped me a lot on my bait making.

Thank you for this video it was taylor made for me... no washing machine not cool!!

They teach me patience literally every night

Mine was Junebug. I was hung up for over a year on replicating Zoom's color. Countless cups of plastic. Thanks for your insight. Good stuff.

I have to say that was deep and has made me think a lot more of some of the stuff I make and keep that attitude to chase my dream not someone else’s

Very insightful. Thank you.

I understand, when I first started I was having a very hard time matching Robo's colors. As a west coast angler to me Robo Worm is the Cadillac of colors. So rich and vibrant. Then as you said I realized I can't match it, but I'm close enough. In life we will never be perfect, as long as we strive to be happy, loving, family oriented live life to our own fullness it's close enough..😊😊

Well said indeed !

Good thoughts. If you had come out with this in the fall, I wouldn’t have 250 breaking bream baits that bear little resemblance to the zman breaking bream that I chased all winter🤪

Be yourself. It's nice to be different. Good video Mr Jones

❤❤❤❤❤

Very well said!!!

I could go on for hours about the philosophical side of making baits from my view. Everything from an emotional, and physical standpoint to a mental and spiritual aspect as well. Great video buddy 🤙💀🤙

👍👍

With all of that said...we still haven't matched Zooms Watermelon Red 😁😁

Don't go chasin' water…melon. Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to. In all seriousness, great points all around. Love you.

20% of volume is salt.

Your transducer is to the right of your motor, I'd bet. The shitty image to the left is because your motor is creating a shadow in the sonar to the left.

Just started soft bait making yesterday, inspired by your channel and the techniques you have. My first few were lousy, but my latest ones are looking much better. I learned on this video I didn't cook them long enough on one technique. Thank you so much!

This is awesome information for new entrepreneurs trying to get into this industry
