BIG BRAND Bait-Meltdown!!! Remelting Brand Name Soft Plastic Lures

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

Thank you for watching, which ones were your favorite remelts??

[@onlyonebran]

What do you do with your leftover plastic you don't remelt? I would be interested in senko mystery melts

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

@@onlyonebran I usually use it for personal baits

[@austinspringer7114]

The junebug and junebug lane toad laminate.

[@keithwadding9303]

The frogs looked great. The jelly worm remelts are gorgeous.

[@chrisgonefishing115]

@@WorldsWorstFishing yo this is why i love ur videos. U make longs ones and they are great to watch while i pour my own baits lol... And were do i get bags for my lures ik they are expensive. I have already tried Alibaba.com or sum like that

[@pepajelito1979]

*Altogether a well made lure **enjoyable.fishing** recommend it’s the skirt seems to stay on well and the whole thing is bigger than I thought it would be. The 2 metal have a nice plating on them as well.*

[@StanfordMack-le6cg]

Replacement arrived!By the way, I did forget to mention that the original lure did have a decent strike however as most anglers will attest you can get a hit kzbin.infoUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 and fish will hang on and release lure. I used the replacement lure yesterday and ran thru a Shimano Waxwing, Kastmaster, Bobber (set to sink). I found the does run deep (I casting on the flats 3.5'). Make sure you adjust your rate of retrieve and rod tip angle (up) to prevent getting snagged on bottom. Used it a couple of times and action was very lifelike (looked like local bait fish for trevally), craftsmanship very good....however eyeball fell out. I asked for replacement and it is on it's way! It was very easy to change out treble to single inline hook.

[@jordandayman1356]

My dad and I do this with baits once they are ripped and torn up. We made a few molds of swimbaits we like and created basic hand-pour molds. We melt and pour our old and trashed baits into new swimbaits. They aren't always the prettiest, sometimes you get some weird colors coming out but they always seem to catch fish! My dad got a 20lb pike this spring on a brown and greenish colored re-pour!

[@lupefernandez6332]

Loved it man. Ive got a ton of baits I dont like but love the colors. Im going to buy a mold & give this a go. I appreciate it!

[@billwhite7099]

When I was a kid 40 years ago. I would start out with a 9 inch Mann's Watermelon worm and I would stop fishing with it when it got to 4 inches. That plastic was so tough I could catch a couple fish before I would have to bit it down cause it started slipping. I wish I was paying more attention then to know how many I would catch on one worm. The had a electric blue fire tail that was a favorite color too.

[@aussie_fishcatcha9583]

i love how he says 'you guessed it!' but i could not even begin to guess what lure he could be making! great videos mate!

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

Glad you enjoyed

[@markbuckallew4689]

I was really surprised with the results - I wasn't expecting the colors to hold true once melted & re-injected.... Loved the Gambler color, haven't seen that before. The laminate toads were sick!

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

Thank you!..yeah they held up great to the remelting

[@ontheline3654]

Great video what temp do you start injecting at I try it 350 but sometimes I get air pockets in my big molds

[@zaklewis5165]

Hey Chris I was looking through your videos and I realize you haven’t made a Texas craw color (at least on camera) so I was wondering if you would make a video on it

[@ndistefano5]

This is such a brilliant idea. I didnt even think that you could purchase plastics on sale or use old ones to melt and start making baits you like. Definately helps cut down on some initial costs.

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

Just don't remelt.zman or gulp haha

[@ljerasmus2550]

*Great item. First cast out of the package caught a nice bass. Pulls smooth in the water and sets up nicely immediately upon retrieval. Worth adding to your tackle box.*

[@LeatherNeck1833]

I actually love the BPS Tournament Series Stick-O worms. Great colors, lots of wiggle on the fall, and inexpensive. My heart felt a little pain when you cut up those brand new Gambler EZ Swimmer. 😮 You did good on the remelt, but cutting those up hurt.

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

haha yeah the BPS stik worms are freaking good

[@davidnieuwland]

The baits you made are much nicer than the originals, that's a fact. I bet it felt uncomfortable buying name brand baits, haven't done that in years and I probably never will again. Fun video.

[@MichaelP-e]

I have bags of old zoom and Yamamoto but I have never re melted them.... yet! Love the Mann’s jelly worms! That grape is what I wish all my purples looked like. Thanks Chris!

[@Killbuck.Southern.Railroad]

You should do a video testing the different plastics the companies use to see if it is all soft or the appropriate plastics for swim baits or worms

[@eddiemartz678]

Hey Chris ... excellent video, I've been saving my old plastic and anyone else's since last year ... it's great for that learning curve since this is my first year making my own...

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

Right on!

[@jacobyoung3255]

Question for you, what is the purpose in remelting? Getting different colors for different baits? I know some people recycle their baits this way and loved the idea but I dont know the purpose behind remelting new baits.

[@JerseyJimFish]

Thanks for this. I am an artist(starving variety) with exceptional sculpture skills. I am firstly and more importantly a COMPULSIVE fisherman. I never knew melting old plastic was possible. I will be doing the ghetto version of this and making some paddletails for salt water striped bass fishing. Great video, thanks for the idea. Well done sir!😁

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

sweet!! give it a shot ha

[@rc5549]

10:17 great Aussie set of brand clamps you have there.

[@johndunn5827]

Watching this video you have encouraged me to remelt some of my used and tore up plastics from last year made up some stick worms and a couple beaver style baits

[@reeljourney]

I've been saving my old soft plastics for about a yr to do this and maybe make a video about it. Thanks for making this. I think I'll have to do it now.

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

Melt em down

[@gamingwhitantares2230]

I enjoyed this video Chris as I enjoy all of them. I used to use a lot of Gamblers years ago when I had my store here in AZ they were a good bait. I use to buy them from a place in Missouri called Preferd Plastics, they had a retail and wholesale. I use to also go through the Bass Pro Shops wholesale at the time, this was early 90s. The problem was that the BASS hadn't started with the West Division yet just federation so I was ahead of the curve boy could I have used all this internet info now cause I had so many sceptics. I use to by the Bass Pro catalogs and put one in every purchase bag, I'm glad I only paid a penny for each catalog lol.

[@wyattrayburn261]

probably a bad question but I just got to making baits, so where do you get your molds, ie. company, websites

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

angling ai molds

[@katesweitzer5460]

This is such a great video! I've been looking for a video like this for a while! That's so much for making this one!

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

Thanks for watching

[@basscatlildave]

I was really surprised at how bubble free those remelts were. I guess all the remelts I do have been laying around in the boat and shop for a long time and full of moisture. Great job buddy

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

Great point! yeah these were fresh

[@S1CKTR1CKY]

Oohhhh baby that jelly worm remake was absolutely gorgeous!! Great video as always!

Thanks

[@Akren905]

22:00 hope Chris melts all the left overs down... and he DOES lol

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

haha u bet

[@floridawaterboys3489]

I was thinking the same thing😂😅

[@justinwood683]

Junebug if the favorite of course. Quick question, do you store your colorants/pigments in a controlled environment? I've been keeping mine in my workshop. The issue is that it is a metal non-insulated building, and experiences some extreme temps (I live in SC). I want to make sure that I am not damaging the colors.

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

they stay in the garage

[@Wizard010357]

Mann's Jellyworms are the baits of my youth. Just about the only plastic worm I threw before I started shooting my own. Last year, I melted down a bunch of used and beat up Jellyworms I had been collecting over the years and shot 7" paddletail worms with it. Worked just as well as the Jellyworms did. :-)

[@FolloweroftheBlind]

I’ve wanted to try finding a super fluke jr mold to make the bubble gum minis again...those were killer in the rivers where in at and hate that zoom discontinued them...seeing how easy it is from this video may give it a shot

[@drewharner3387]

This is the first video of yours ive watched, and as a past drum line guy, i appreciate a pretty solid, good sounding drum roll. Ill be sticking around

hey thanks!!! every now and then I try and throw some hybrid rudiments on the molds haha

[@ldmb89]

This is cool .. but if you get caught selling your own mold aren't there any repercussions? Where do get your molds ?

[@peytonpowroznik3105]

Curious if you think I could do this with keitech easy shiners. I use tons of them and would love to try remaking them after I use them. Do you just add a small amount of heat stabilizer to the plastic? I’ve never made baits but love the video. Thank you

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

I actually just melted down some easy shiners today haha

[@BassmasterSKohout]

Not sure how old you are Chris but did you have “Creepy Crawlers” as a kid? Those were my first molds and yes I did use them for fishing...thanks to you I’ve been holding onto all my used senkos and hope to one day find an exact 3in senko mold and shoot some myself. Love the grass grenades and grape worms!

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

33 now

[@stixfishin9530]

Was really hoping you’d have some zman in there. Very curious if you can remedy them and still get the stretch.

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

Z-man products are actually made from a cold injected rubber polymer using very expensive machinery.. you're not able to remelt it down and inject it with traditional tools

[@HawgRed]

@@WorldsWorstFishing I was going to ask the same thing. Cool info - thanks!!

[@landonwest4701]

I tried to re melt z man and it literally will not melt even after like 5 minutes haha

I have a question do you add sent to your baits in the bag? or do you mix it while it is in a liquid form. And can you add in during liquid form?

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

add to the bags

[@robkniskern2089]

That was awesome Chris! I love the jelly worm that is now your candy cane worm.

[@jadaowens3915]

What is the mold that you are calling mid mag or fat mag? I am looking for one, as they closely resemble the Zoom 5" finesse worm. I would love to get one if you are able to share the info.

[@chickenlead7203]

Best baits/ lures for northern pike and walleye? Just getting into fishing again and those are the most common fish here

[@rouseyanglerholics]

Hey man, Can you melt any plastics together? Or do they have to be the same brands ect

[@rmesa4748]

This is actually a good idea. You can buy soft plastics bait in bulk cheap, but the bait may not match your hatch. You can buy the bulk baits, and remelt to your favorite bait that matches your hatch.

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

u got it!

[@DYTangler]

Cool fun video, I kept all my store bought plastics in case I sucked hard at bait making lol. But I saved my used plastics and all the ones I cleaned up at the lakes, and made almost 200 baiys before I felt comfortable enough to crack the seal on my 5er of dead on lol.

got any of those last worms from the full mix left?

[@bigdadace8588]

I wanna start making my own worms. I also would like to design some baits. I have some hand pour molds but noticed remelts were softer and I don't want them softer if anything I want them firmer. Do you know any household thing that would firm them a little? I wish I would have discovered your channel before I threw away a 5-gallon bucket of used and discarded worms.

[@binkwood]

I have two questions; did you use heat stabilizer in all of your meltdown batches or is there some way you can tell which plastics need it and which ones don't? And the second question; has your Bass Pro Shops been open all through this corona lockdown or did it just open back up today?

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

I used stabilizer in all of them...they aint using Dead On Plastix thats for sure haha..its been open all alomng

[@anthonym1518]

So I’ve got 2 questions... are those the regular stingers or the little stingers and do you split the tail on it or fish it as is out the mold? I saw on one of the Facebook groups someone split the tail and it looks good but wired compared to the way it comes out
