We Bought A HUGE 14-Cavity Custom Fluke Mold; But Does It Work??

[@BrownBaitCo]

Gosh dang that is massive!!!

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

Haha yep

[@Bull_Moose_Lodge]

Thats what she said lol

[@Darkman-Fishing]

Possibly use a sprue extender along with everything else That just massive I bought a baby brush hog mold cheap and I found out just like you did why it was so cheap and yes I learned that day how much I appreciate molds from companies like Enforcer and A.I That just make molds right.

[@roberthall5616]

Pretty sure they went thicker to prevent warping. Aluminum is quite a heat conductor, and professor google says it can warp at 400 degrees. With those cavities hogged out, I'll bet someone shot a prototype mold full of 370 degree plastisol....voila...a bit of warping and a lot of flashing.

[@caseknifes]

How exciting. I love new molds. I think my plastisol heats up as I am getting the mold out of the box. Thanks for the content.

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

Thanks for watching

[@johansmit3058]

I absolutely love the work you do and the craft and creativity 🙌 I can't wait for the next video's,,,,I think you should try to do a skin lair first and then do the injection maybe it will get rid of the air pockets keep up the good work and good luck with the 14 cavity mold 👍🏻💪🎣🎣

[@SCYCOFISHINGHUNTING]

So I just bought my first mold, it is a Do it molds ES Crappie fluke, and was wondering what dead on plastix blend would be good. It’s a 2.5” bait, and I’m wanting to drop shot it for smallmouth. What would be a good blend that gives action but also has decent durability? Thanks

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

Swimbait blend

[@chadc7846]

As Chris mentioned swim bait blend would be as soft as I would go. I find myself mostly using tube/crawl on everything. I have seen some of my smallest lures last 20-40 catches on tube blend. The fish teeth will tear them up over time. 🤘

[@SCYCOFISHINGHUNTING]

@@chadc7846 Thanks for the input!

[@matthewabbinante63]

I had an issue with a very similar mold setup.. it’s a 6 cavity fat senko single port mold. Found that the air escape lines that were running from cavity to the next was pushing air pockets in the baits that were poured. I end up shooting every other port.

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

Very interesting

[@XxNiteStockerxX]

Looking at the venting, would it help if you shot from the inside out? Like start in the middle and work outwards letting the air escape better?

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

I'm not sure what you are talking about is possible

[@XxNiteStockerxX]

@@WorldsWorstFishing I mean start at the middle cavity or hole.

[@dougouellette6506]

Would adding vibrations or tapping it while pouring help stop the denting and air pockets or would that cause more air bubbles and problems?

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

In my experience no, plastic viscosity won't really work it sets up pretty fast

[@natashamar9525]

[@THGOklahoma]

Are there any molds without the belly slot for the flukes

[@jamesp2674]

Would holding pressure for extra extra long help? Good bait though!

[@241bam]

I had issue with top port molds. And I had to skip every other one. Seems like the vents are tied together air pushing air from the adjacent cavity. Skip every other one and come back and hit the others. So hope they have solidified where u can’t push air through the hot liquid plastisol vs sold forcing air through the proper vents just my two cent

[@robertmabe4252]

Hey Cris I have a AI 4 in bloodline mold and sometimes I get a void just under the chin what could be causeing this

[@haginbird9152]

I was going to ask where you got that big boy cause I shoot quite a few flukes. If you get it figured out do another video. Thanks have a great afternoon

[@jasonmartin9985]

[@travislovelace44]

Man that's a huge mold like to see if you find out what's up with it and getting it to work properly keep the content coming injoyed it

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

I sent a few pictures of it to Josh and he said the gate is way too narrow... That is likely what I need to fix

[@travislovelace44]

Man if you get the gates fixed that will be a big a big ol mold to punch out some jerk baits for sure

[@moonmeat5985]

Do you have any soft plastics for sale?

[@darrenhall7990]

I've got a custom mold. It's a top injection. The mold filled out completely, however the mold has a narrow gate, resulting in the head of the bait to have air bubbles. I solved this problem by using sprue extenders from another company. The ports were close together, so I had to shoot every other port and come back to the others. The problem is solved and shoots an awesome bait.

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

I'm gonna mod the gates

[@mannyfeeesh]

How about using a sprue extender

[@75novaguy73]

would it help if it where milled down to a more appropriate thickness? lol that thing is a hunk of something alright. Good vid

[@mikesantos920]

I very intrigued by color shift pigments but it is soooo pricey. Any sampler type situation or low cost option you’d recommend?

[@consanit]

Dip your car has smaller sample sizes but they are still expensive. And the sample sizes are typically more than any hobby maker will need.

[@tracynewman5246]

[@monkeydluffy626]

please name liquid use?

[@wolastoqcustomtackle5217]

You can take out just the top fluke and shoot one fluke in the AI mold to use up remaining plastic

[@The_TN_Fisherman]

So I'm looking at getting into bait making and I want to know what you do with your injector if you want to change color, if you only have one injector. Do you have to clean the injector out completely and then use your second color? Please answer I'm honestly kinda worried about this part.

[@BIOSYNBAITS]

As long as you don't have any plastic left over in your injector. No don't have to clean it. Just keep o-rings lubed

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

Yeah you just push out the plug snd run another color

we have a mold that takes 22oz..Maybe your 24oz injector will work for it. haha For the gate issue, clamp the mold together, use a drill it that is a little larger than gate and drill to make it bigger.

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

Yep I think when we feature this mold again on video we will drill out the gates on video and see what happens

[@ballzybaits4414]

Too bad that mold didn't work out, that was a sick color!! Might have to get it modified!!

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

I'm gonna drill out the gates 🤪

[@garybowers9605]

Might need to add some "collars" on top of mold so you have deeper top off. The tails are filling so the venting must be OK.

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

It needs work on the gates for sure

[@damnitman1969]

Try hand pouring it and or top each off pouring cold that seemed best

[@erichildreth7562]

That is a big mold!! From watching your other videos this may be just suited with hand pouring instead of injection mold. Just my 2 cents. Your creations are incredible!!

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

Don't think the tails would fill tho

[@erichildreth7562]

@@WorldsWorstFishing yea that is true but just trying to provide some ideas to help out. :)

[@michaelace4739]

Take it to a machine shop and have them run more venting. The vents running same direction as sprue go deeper on those.

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

The vents are definitely suspect

[@darrenhall7990]

Is that one of Marty's old molds?

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

No idea

[@jeremypierce1607]

I don't even know why you would want a top injection fluke mold. Batch spru style ones laminate just fine because of their shape and you don't lose much more plastic to a single runner than you would to all those little ports. Seems like something a no bigger mold company would really do. Hook slot was cool though.

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

Certainly a one-off item

[@kadegraham]

Not me watching this in my bait station

[@syncobandsma2682]

I think the problem is the hookslot. The ridges hold air more than a smooth hookslot. The air then floats to the surface and gets stuck due to the cooling of the plastisol. Also, have you thought of weighing the mold halves separately 😉

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

Well the 2 have maybe the same plate thickness karma but one has a lot more aluminum cut out than the other.. I believe it is the gates that are the problem

[@syncobandsma2682]

Weigh 1 half, then the other and add up the numbers 😉

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

@@syncobandsma2682 numbers were never my strong suit haha..will make a heck of a boat anchor tho

[@syncobandsma2682]

Can't you drill a larger hole in 1 cavity and see what happens?

[@Daniel-jn8fp]

U need put worm oil into mold

[@mariaruhlman424]

You could weigh each half and add it together.

[@seizedcarcass8440]

Cool mold but the issue is the sprue needs to be bigger and the mold is way too thick. Gets the temp off in the plastic

I suspect you are getting cavitation in the gate. My idea would be keep mold HOT but slow down the injection with plastic at your normal or slightly below normal temp.
