Thanks for watching my struggles haha...a few of them turned out pretty good tho.

[@veteranoutdoorsman9978]

To get differant color tails do like you do with worms. Make a tube the tail color. Cut the top portion off an put the tail portion back on the rod. Dip the other color up to the tail section then cut the tails.

[@davidtapia7563]

World's Worst Fishing where can I purchase the tube cutting tool

[@FishNFoolLures]

Using a hard rubber mat to cut tails works much better than wood.

[@scottkidder8631]

Small bit of wisdom for you: ANYTHING is a hammer if you swing it hard enough.

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

hahaha

[@shubhanggupta8833]

*It's great caught caught a brown trout on the first cast. **enjoyable.fishing** recommend if it was a little smaller it would be more effective for different species*

[@markbuckallew4689]

I honestly think that this is the best video you've ever done......it made me feel like I was the one dipping, figuring out temp, how much glitter and color and on and on.... Without a mentor, you have to just "jump right in and start somewhere". I absorbed more information watching this video because it shows the process of trying, make adjustments, trying again, make adjustments, etc., until you get "acceptable results", at which point you can then perfect the bait to whatever you envisioned!! Absolutely a great way to teach, it's not the obstacles.... it's how to think around the obstacles as your experience grows. A+

[@Tam58851520]

Love the honesty and appreciate the lessons. Great work Chris.

[@502deth]

a few months late, and from someone with even less experience, heres my thought: i see that you dip and hold them in. im thinking maybe holding them in the hot plastic may be starting to remelt some of what is already on the mandrel. im thinking that possibly faster dipping, ir. not dwelling in the cup may turn out better?????

[@DA7545]

I agree. He has to dip fast and let it cool, and then dip fast again.

[@kagekilla]

Love it!! Great to see the learning process and not just the best ones. Keep up the good work Mr. Jones and hope you and yours have a great Holidays!!

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

thank you sir

[@bayouburner281]

Cool deal- I never knew how those were made, thanks for showing us🤙🏻

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

yeah man...this is the old school way

[@thereelreyheel172]

Mr Jones, I really enjoy your videos, they are interesting and educational. I know how that leaky water pipes is. Here in the northern part of Arkansas we usually have a couple of bad week's of winter. A lot of broken water lines. Good luck.

[@greatwhitesfishingadventur2273]

Very Fascinating .. seems "Old School " works a treat !! You should invest in a small "Dead Blow Hammer" ... saves busting the hands up !! The last ones looked very nice indeed !!

[@jeffreyfenton5649]

I would try chilling the rods before use. Not from experience by any means, but I feel like it would help with that first layer which could help with the follow up layers. Good luck on furthering this out.

[@mjeepster]

Lots of great info in the comments thank you ..i never knew this was how tubes used to be made! Lol I can definitely try this on a budget

[@rmesa4748]

Good idea, like the color combo. You did okay with your first try. I think this is helpful for all who watch. Thanks.

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

yeah that was the point...to show first trials and such

[@ryansmith3203]

Think of it like a candle, dip quick and keep it in the air longer to set up. The longer you dip in the plastic, the more your layer will remelt.

[@yamahschector]

Glowing and chartreuse colors are some of my fav colors.

[@nickhummel8236]

I would definitely buy some of these especially in June bug. Keep up the good work!

[@dwaynerice9084]

Awesome i liked them all but my favorites would have to be the double color tail but I think they would look better with a blood red under color instead of the copper. The thing I like about your channel is you're not afraid to fail you seem to learn something on every vid and so do we . Keep up the good work that was AWESOME!!

[@GainingDespair]

Gravel, lots and lots of gravel (will help with drainage in low points). Granted unrelated to this but it's becoming far more common when they build new homes as water will pool but it hates to so more often than not the soil around the gravel will absorb it.

[@RobertKearl-Outdoor-Adventures]

You made it look easy I'm looking at finally getting set up with the injection mold in tubes

[@darrenbennetts9129]

thanks Man just the vid i was looking for i tryed befour but this is just grat ill now give it a go your way

[@caseywallace2240]

Well...that answered m One of my questions. Awsome stuff man.

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

That's why we are here, thank you for watching

[@ronbiter3612]

Love your videos, I've been dipping crappie tubes using thin wires. The plastic will buildup faster if you just dip let it cool a few seconds before you dip again. Keep up the great videos

[@hookedonalaska7004]

I really liked your color choice. 🔥🔥 . I have been wanting to do this specially for the double dip effect.

[@JacobSimpson]

Those look pretty good! Can't wait to see some more videos on it!

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

thanks...just need some practice thats all

[@gregmitchell3197]

Great video Chris, I don’t think this would be my cup of tea. But you still did a great job!!!!!! Keep casting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@richardorta8960]

two color ideas straight up yard dirt... dry it, mix it, pour it. second mixed half a pack of grape kool-aid that green hobby lobby sand yellow flake

[@ericbranin9647]

Looks like a lot of work but lots of fun. That's one bait I never fished with.

[@solraymond]

I want to start making crappie tubes. We use them out here in SoCal for trout fishing. It would be cool to see you make those.

[@wesgraves4080]

Great video! I think it was your best ever! What could you do to create a little “meat” towards the head of the bait to give the hook something to hold on to. I love fishing really soft tubes but hate that they rip at the head after a hookset or 2.

[@stevefinheadzlureco8525]

I really like the two tone idea and my mind is already reeling about colors thanks for that info brother

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

its like hand pouring...no limits

[@misterpredatorlures]

Cool video😎 struggles of a baitmaker, good to know that if you want to learn you need to make mistakes. Thanks for sharing your process😁 a rubber plate instead of wood can help you cutting the tails better maybe, the last tubes look very nice😁👍🏼 Good luck 😁

[@jasonwilson6212]

They look good enough to fish! Have you tried black and blue? I think that laminate would work awesome.

[@jeremycaraway6432]

Definitely like to see some more tubes

[@bentoutofshape6319]

I bet they all work great..🎣

[@billbruggink3681]

Hi - final result very nice for the second time. On the tails, I’ve seen others attach the cutter head to bearing press machine and press down against a heavy piece of rubber.

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

yeah I have a friend who cuts tails on a hockey puck!

[@thomaswood6570]

Love all of your videos! Thanks for sharing. What blend of plastisol were you using?

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

dead on plastix craw/tube blend

[@ShaneJMcNair]

Try a fatigue mat, a rubber mat, or tire mat to cut on, maybe??? ... using a DEAD BLOW MALLET Nice TUBS, BTW

[@basscatlildave]

I've never dipped any. I've thought about getting a Tube mold with a spline insert but never seen it done with the cutter with the cutter.

[@chrisezzyk1632]

Stick with it Chris! 2.75" tubes are lethal for smallies up here In VA.

[@christopherbenson1890]

Who do you have making your packaging? Also, do you have a maker for the swimbait packaging to keep the form?

[@zolbaard8060]

Maybe try dip and cut the body portion off and the redip upto the tail for the body

[@stingrayanallen8936]

Nicely done sir turned out pretty nice👍👍🤙🤙

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

thaks

[@trout_spankn_dominoeacosta6914]

Now for the hareser part. Do tbe split color?? Where its literally split color down the line. Tilting the cup with plastic. To dip the second color

[@scratcherfever6316]

I struggled my first time dipping. One of the hardest I think I’ve ever done . But I finally got it to where the tips are nice and round. It’s really hard color combining because some colors are lighter or darker than others. Only difference is I use mine for trout and pan fish ! Nice job tho!

[@jimmybrown2731]

Great job mr Jones a green pumpkin/junebug would look killer in a tube

[@SuperRobertheath]

I dipped like this with a friend. The follow up dips after the first dip had to be quick and not left in but maybe a second. The hot plastic in the cup remelted what was on the tube already.

[@Jpeace530]

Great video Chris! Do you still make custom baits for customers? If so how do I order some?

[@seizedcarcass8440]

Definitely want to see more tubes from you. Maybe even a coppertruse color match like the zman TRD.

[@getsomefish2252]

So this is why tubes are so expensive sometimes haha? Awesome video like always!

[@hughmanatee4854]

When you were doing the first ones, I thought it would be cool too do full laminates, then cut the tails. Then you were like, "Hey, now I'm gonna do that exact thing you were about to make a comment about." Big fan of those ones. I'd say getcha a rubber mallet or a dead blow hammer for hitting that thing. I'm assuming it's aluminum, and using those softer faced hammers will keep it from mushrooming/deforming over time.

[@jefburns8322]

In my experience 290-300 degrees gives best dips. Get nice thick coats and a great finish. And please use a rubber mallet when cutting your tails, iit won't hurt the cutter and it's saves your hand. Thanks for the great videos that gave me the confidence to use injection molds after hand pouring for more than a decade!

[@rogerhall3061]

bro i didn't even know there was those kinds of rods for tube baits i want to start making my own baits but its pricey to start ty man i was just wondering are them rods steel our aluminum

[@ShaneJMcNair]

Question would it help to keep your RODS in the freezer, so they are frozen when dipping... making short quick dips. Kinda like making hand dipped candles....

[@ronbiter3612]

Hope it doesn't do the- deep frying the frozen Turkey thing!

[@GardenFrugal]

Where did you get the rods and what size are they???

[@scottm2398]

very nice bud

[@gemtastic.]

Interesting 👍👍👍

[@caverunbassmaster7659]

I like that color

[@donaldstephensen8654]

Not bad I'm a trout fisherman out here in cali and use a lot of small tubes those look ok. Put a owner 1/64 led head in it and send me some.

[@trout_spankn_dominoeacosta6914]

Thanks man. I know you did it cuz i asked brotha. God bless you man. Ty

[@kevinschmitt2310]

Please go buy a cheap mallet for cutting those brother. I say this because you are a musician man. I have wrecked my wrists over the years beating on wrenches as a mechanic and I play guitar. I can still play but with pain and numbness and it's not carpel tunnel it's a different damage from exactly what you were doing there with your palms. Just want you to be able to play drums for many more years and give us those big drum rolls still when you make new bait colors. :) Thanks for this video. Never knew I could make tubes like this. I don't sale I just tournament fish and need to keep things cheap so I do a lot of remelts. Love your site, it's how I have learned everything.

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

yeah a mallet is on the docket

[@kohnerfenner8527]

Been wanting to get in this for awhile can you tell me where u get the materials for this

[@chrisbrown6780]

you can start a lot of plastic cups and do a lot of dips . You got this.

[@fue22686]

where can i get some of those pins your using to make the tubes with?

[@taylormarcel5074]

Nice voice crack at 7:40 lol jk love the vids man keep it up 😂

[@kayakingwithkevin303]

Where did you get tail cutter tool from?

[@mikeharding2899]

Where did you purchase your tail cutter used in this video

[@davidfredenburg8283]

TRY A SELF-SEALING CUTTING BOARD TO CUT THE TAILS

[@dalemerrifield5853]

Where did you get that skirt cutter?

[@davidtapia7563]

Where did you purchase the cutter

[@tydavis2568]

Watching you’re canned has thought me so many thing about molding soft plastic

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

Thanks man

[@FRANKRICECOLD209]

Yeah I built my own tail cutter and did tubes and the only ones that I make are like the bigger ones I make some bigger ones for like flipping but it is a pain in the butt I love the video though thanks man

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

its def labor....but I enjoyed it so far

[@TheNeverendingProjectsList]

That is labor intensive... if I get the kinks worked out of my 3D printed injection tube mold I'll have to send you one :)

[@kokaneefishing956]

Once you get the kinks worked out, try making a 3D printed injection Hoochie (Squid) mold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@solus2951]

Let me know when you have an stl file you want to share

[@Justin-le2yh]

Looks pretty good! Do they make injection molds for tubes?

[@anthonydunn9414]

Yes they make them I have a guerilla tube mold kinda a tube/brushog style

[@ernieflynn5124]

Is this cost effective? I'd love to do this but seems a little costly any thoughts there. Dig you stuff by the way.

[@simgemini4118]

Where did you get the Cutter From

[@roykinnaiii8690]

You might want to try only dipping sections of the body instead of the whole thing at once and build up a taper. When the plastic starts to set you can turn the mandrill upright and let it try and slide back on itself then turn it back down and do that a few times until it sets and it makes a nice rounded tip.

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

thats a good idea....i'll def be practicing more...this was my first time really spending time with it...its very fun much like hand pouring

[@3HandsCustomTackle]

I think BassTackle makes has one as well

[@JonahTronprime]

Where do you get your rods from?

[@pineapplekilla4986]

Nice 📈

[@AddictedAngler]

rubber lamaet will help you with cutting save ur hand , great info

[@fishingthe262]

I have gotten pretty good at dipping. Cutting tails is tricky. I have found a local guy that makes a great hand dipped tube. I buy from him because the amount of time I spend dipping and cutting 100 tubes is worth more than what I pay for them....lol

[@Sevenboy127gmail]

Love all ur other videos this one was a horrible lure to make looks very difficult and wastes alot of plastic

[@genedavis759]

Might try pressing the cutter while pulling the tube out of cutters .

[@bodeestratton517]

What size are the rods your using?

[@LimitedGunnerGM]

I’ve never fished a tube before. I’ve always wanted to fill them with catfish paste or even an ear plug so the fringe floats upwards.

[@mikewest712]

When rigged properly they will stand up. Most fisherman including pros do not rig tubes correctly.

[@420blakers]

Not sure who makes that tube cutter but you should contact them and have it made more of a pizza cutter effect. I can guarantee you could get it in one pass of rocking it and not have to put your body through the effects of hitting it or swinging a hammer over time.

[@johnrickey1671]

How can I make a big order of lures for a cheapish price??

[@ivymoore2368]

Good morning sir I was wondering is there a some way I can order some of those tools from you guys.

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

I do not sell any bait making supplies or tools

[@ivymoore2368]

@@WorldsWorstFishing oh my apologies I thought I could maybe get some tools from you. fishing to me Isla job I love plastic tubes in Wisconsin we use a lot of them and the ones you made are awesome and I think they would work fine. in the next giveaway if you do decide to give away some please allow me to participate as you do and I would look forward to seeing that next giveaway thank you very much and keep up the good work. me and my fishing buddies we sit sometimes on the weekends and watch all the videos we possibly can from your Workshop. thank you again.

[@haydenhubbard4297]

Most of the time you don’t really like the color I think it looks awesome 😂 I guess it’s just not what you’re picturing haha but the first two runs looked awesome to me, I love the more translucent colors since I’m in pretty clear water most of the time. You should do some more tube videos sometime!!

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

Thanks sir..

Love tubes man!

they are awesome...I just need some more experience...but I wanted to show the learning curve so to speak

@@WorldsWorstFishing yeah nice man.. in Amsterdam they do pretty nice. Plus around here too!

[@bazchazr3712]

Hockey pucks work really well for the rods. 6 rods in each puck, 4 pucks is 2 dozen tubes.

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

friend of mine does the hockey puck thing!

[@DrillerAA]

You might start with a rubber mallet. It will do less damage to the aluminum cutting tool

[@bradleyfrechette6228]

Just a guess, but I think you need to pause longer between dips. Also I think you would do better using a mallet on the skirt cutter. A hammer would damage the cutter and using your hand can lead to nerve damage...safety first!

[@johnberrier8529]

Can you use play-doh as a mold to pour soft plastic baits? Looking for cheat ways to make my own.

[@akwatic39]

Where chan you buy this

[@LimitedGunnerGM]

Just a noobie thought.... the frequent dipping without letting it set up may be preventing the layers to build up. Otherwise, each dip is remelting the previous layer.

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

yeah could be..I think cooler plastic and slower dipping might be the way to go...

[@webbey6479]

Is this how tuna skirts are made i feeo the plastic is a lot harder on a tuna lure skirt!

[@stevefinheadzlureco8525]

Another tip if you don't already know us get a 1 cup measure cup and put worm oil in the bottom of it and dip your blades down in it makes the strips come out way better without break off

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

yeah I def could tell that oil on the blades was a must

[@frogassassin1587]

Try making worms with using chalk dust as powder dye

[@andysummers2742]

not much of a bass fisher but the lighter copper color looks like it would be a good shrimp or squid skirt in salt water
