*I used to fish with a Crippled Killer growing up in the 50/60’s and **enjoyable.fishing** recommend think this lure gas a smoother propeller action. It is a great surface lure.*

[@ogorman3634]

I just started making my own baits(big thanks to you!) less than a week ago, and I’ve already spent too much money, and I do not regret anything

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

Haha no regrets

[@jared5862]

I was a huge Nirvana fan and I still love their music. The “unplugged” session that they did with MTV is simply amazing. I still listen to it while I work.

[@alejandrogarcia9612]

Now THAT is an OG green sunfish pattern !!!!

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

thank you sir

[@jaxtonh5618]

You should do a video of your top 5 favorite molds and also injecting into them

[@chrisp2876]

Nice tip on keeping the opacity similar between the colours. Something I didn't really consider until you pointed it out.

[@gpharned]

I do appreciate the Back to basics videos. Thanks for the help Chris!

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

My pleasure

[@ballzybaits4414]

Nice. Good tips for new folks as well as experienced. When I first started, I thought the hotter the better. I had a ton of dimples. Bought a temp gauge and that has changed the game. For me, I inject at 285-310 degrees depending on size of mold. Another tip for laminating is if you dont have a laminated injector,you could pour one side and inject the other side a little hotter to infuse the two.

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

Great tip! also helps to heat the molds if using the other technique

[@heathmartin3706]

Chris, Another great video! I hope you can do some videos about adding sent to your baits. How, when, and why. Thanks for all of the great videos!!

[@JasonSmith-bv3yd]

This is very helpful Chris..... Thanks.... I just gotta extend my appreciation man.... Being new to this hobby myself, I find about everything you do helpful.... Dead on plastics is superior in your opinion, in my opinion this you tube channel is superior!... By far the coolest content I have found!..... Keep them coming man... Thanks

[@01Brever]

Another Great lesson buddy! Love watching and learning. The bleed in the laminates to me makes it look a little more natural. Appreciate all you do. Keep em coming

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

I prefer the uneven laminates myself!

[@pimpshack81]

My Dead on Plastix just shipped .. I’m so excited 🤗.. I love how you break everything down and explain the process so well.. I can’t wait to get started .. thank you so much for your videos 🤘🤘🤘

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

Thanks for watching!!

[@jimmymoulder4383]

Hi Chris, Just wanted to thank you for taking the time to help those of us interested in getting in to making lures. Your videos sure make it a lot easier to get started. I also have a question, where is the best place to get a dual injector ? I have been making my own lures for about 6 months now and I think I am ready to attempt laminates. Again Thank You for all the help !!

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

[@McCoy665]

Awesome video! I spent 2 days trying to figure out why I couldn’t get white pearl powder to laminate with electric blue colorant and not have bleed over. Glad to know it’s not something I was doing! Thanks man!

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

its hard! mission impossible almost

[@lbertoldie]

I finally picked up an AI handpour mold and made some awesome laminates with the watermelon seed and purple you showed in the last Back to Basics video. Thanks man!

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

thanks!! I love peppers so Im ready for them to sprout up already

[@chrispaxton4757]

I just ordered my first open pour mold.... can’t wait to make my first bait and TRY to catch a fish with it

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

you will!

[@SCYCOFISHINGHUNTING]

Hey you inspired me to start my own baits. I used plaster of Paris to make a mold and I am just hand pouring. I’m not very good but I’m just starting and bait pouring is so fun. I can’t wait to get more professional molds to make cool baits like you do

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

It's a fun hobby

[@jborgstrom7897]

Yes, keep up the Back 2 Basics please!

[@MadcamPlastics]

Your videos are very informative especially for someone like myself who is starting to get into the game and just wanted to say watch the squash they tend to take up alot of the garden

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

Good to know!!! Thx for watching

[@andrewpiper4693]

Great 👍🏻 tips Chris. I was always having trouble with my laminates bleeding. This seems to have fixed the problem. Keep the content coming...

thanks man

[@devonavery2642]

like the orange and green one. I just made a really cool laminated stick bait with a black side and a purplish side with blue flake. smells good too. Added some scent to it.

I perfer when you do crazy bait ideas and complicated stuff but no matter what it is good content I if the masses perfer this then I enjoy it no matter what

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

try and have something for everyone

[@TermiteTweeker]

Perfect timing. I'm trying to make a bait with the same injector you are using. Angling AI 5 Inch Bloodline mold. Just using your first colors of green and orange/yellow. I want it to be more like 80% green on top and 20% orange on bottom. But would settle for 60% green on top and 40% orange on bottom. Problem is I keep ending up with 40% green on top and 60% orange. Any tips on temp or whatever so I can make it mostly green?

[@av7876]

My basstackle Dual comes tomorrow.. Im so pumped lol

[@lawrencedianagunn693]

I've been watching for a long time and I still enjoy the basics. Great vid. I enjoy the simple molds but how you get to the desired color is the real magic. Playing with colors and flakes is fun. We need a chatterbait trailer mold. Since you have a connection, maybe you can mention it to josh. I have some real ideas as to design. The chatterbait has been key to putting matt and I on the map here in Oregon. Took up too much of your time...but I'm still looking for a drummer for an electric blues/rock band. Lol

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

haha yeah I dont really play much anymore...I think josh did a chatterbait trailer recently

Not sure if you have done this before , but I think it would be a cool idea if you did a “how to/everything you need to begin pouring plastics” so people can kinda get an idea on what they would need and the costs, etc.

[@ogorman3634]

Do you think you could do a review of the dead on plastics paragon effects?

[@InEccess]

Nice quarantine hair, it looks as bad as mine does, lol. Good refresher video at a most opportune time. My VERY first Angling AI mold is scheduled to be delivered to me Saturday. You've set the expectations very high for me, I hope it shoots as well as they do in you vids (I went with the Ecto Craw). First thing I wanted to point out is about cleaning the injectors. You did nothing wrong, but I wanted to say that after a year of shooting Senko molds, SALT has become the bane of my (and more importantly the O rings in my injectors) existence. Clean your injectors out immediately following your salt injections. One of my ideas for the Ecto Craw mold is a black back with a belly using only small red flake. Is the goal still to get both cups to the same temp before shooting them?

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

the ecto craw will treat you well! shoot it hot though to fill all the legs...yeah I use as little salt as I can

[@kellylynn727]

Do you heat the molds or the injector prior to shooting?

[@garybowers9605]

Another great teaching video! Thanks.

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

My pleasure!

[@0418baker]

I think that a nonperfect colored bait would honestly be kinda better anyway. They won't have to see the same thing twice and it isn't perfect. Just like all fish don't have perfect line. But I do have to say that to a Pearson looking at it it looks really good and deffinatley sells it to people! Those are awesome colors!!

[@russcerri6968]

Is it correct to assume that on the worms, the tail is going to be the color of your bottom color? It seems to be in your video, just wondering if that’s the norm? Also, I watched a diff channel on using a laminate plate, Senkos specifically, it seems the dual injector and blending block is easier, quicker and all around more convenient, is there a specific use where you would use/need the lami-plate? Thanks, great video👍🏻

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

yeah not a fan of the plates..usually the more dominant color takes over the tail

[@justinhedington3208]

I have been trying to get into bait making as a hobby and was wondering how many ounces your injectors hold?

[@robkniskern8401]

Hey Chris. What is a laminate plate and how does it work?

[@garybowers9605]

Could you do a video with a laminate plate; showing the difference between that and duel injection?

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

if I can get some i'll try and do it

[@doubletap6236]

Don't you just hate when things work out so well you have to go back and try harder to mess up...lol done it to long to be bad. Good job Brother keep them rolling

Hahaha...yeah that kinda happened

[@uncleknife9887]

Hey Bro, I really need your advice. If you were making 2-3" jerk bait minnows for trout & you want them to suspend & slowly sink what plastisol would you buy?? God Bless You for all your help!

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

@@uncleknife9887 feather floating swimbait blend

[@uncleknife9887]

@@WorldsWorstFishing Not to sound like a fruitbag, but your one cool mofo Chris. I think it took you less than a minute to reply. I looked it up & The Feather Floating Swimbait formula is only $40 a gallon. I trust your advice that it will slowly sink/suspend rather than just sit on the surface. I'm assuming a hook is all the weight it takes to begin a slow submersion w/this formula. Anyway, God Bless your for your kindness & all the time you've put in at Harvard to become such a world renowned Baitological Engineer and respected leader in your field.

I got a few ideas but don’t have the money to get started yet. Any chance I can run them by you and maybe you can try them?

Your videos help me so much I’m new to this and I still have a problem with powder colors idk if it’s a temp thing or what but The one spot in the craw is hollow 9/10 times I have tried different things but nothing consistent

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

Hold pressure on the injectors for 10 seconds..light pressure and see if it fills. Some molds are quirky sometimes

[@ontheline3654]

World's Worst Fishing I will try that and should I be pressing hard shooting it fast? or should I do it slow bc right now I’m doing it fast as I can

Would laminates with pearl powders work better with a laminate plate vice a blending block with dual injector?

yes...but I prefer the dual injector personally

Really nice baits man. When you use no coloring, does your plasticol sometimes fog up? I expiramented with clear and blue glitter and some turned out really clear after curing and then some werent that clear, they were nore foggy. Im using Do it plasticol

Personally I really like the bleed through on the worms, especially with the pearl watermelon worms.

[@elmerlommler3336]

I know this is a late response but if there are no straight line in nature, why is the bleed a problem? sorry, I'm getting into this late + am color blind to red and green, not the 2 best colors for designing bass lures

It was great video man. Quick question though I've got one mold that everytime I make baits in it one side has bad flashing and other side is perfectly fine was wondering if u had any advice on how to prevent this I've tried shooting the plastic a little hotter a little colder held less pressure and more pressure nothing seems to make it better

try colder...and maybe get a stronger clamp
