Wohoo!! Another great video to make my weekend start off right. Man you keep getting more and more creative. So smart. Never would’ve thought to put a mold on a griddle. Loving these colors. Look into the tan jig color by canyon plastics would love to see you use it. It’s unlike any other color I can find elsewhere. All the best !

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

thanks NIck..have a great weekend man

[@danchilds881]

Great I was just getting ready to go down to my workshop to make an attempt at a sexy shad. Now, I gotta make a quick run to Hobby Lobby for some blue!!! You are killing my wallet!!!!

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

haha well ANY blue mica powder will suffice...just add very small amounts and you'll get a good resuklt

[@scottkidder438]

Well I asked the question yesterday, and I had thought I had watched every one of your videos.... I missed 3, this was one of them and answered my questions including my next question I had not asked yet LMAO! Thanks again for the help!

Being that I am from Tennessee.. I will definitely be trying that Tennessee shad.. Great job..

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

Yeah definitely give it a try it is super fun to do

[@guitarrat18]

Worlds Worst Fishing has been the most expensive channel Ive ever subscribed to... Ive bought so much stuff since I started watching... lol. Love all the vids!

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

Haha my bad...it's not a cheap hobby unfortunately

[@teamfishlineswfl9099]

Again stellar work !!!!

[@johncruz7478]

Looks good, ordered one to try myself!Could you maybe run a razor or some kind of squeegee across the top of those molds while they're still hot to combat that slight overpour spillage?

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

you can wipe it off yes...its still workable plastic since the molds are hot..i usually let it go and then pull off the excess

[@gurohyena3649]

That Tennessee Shad is just beautiful. I think the griddle has just made a world of difference in being able to make a nicer, more solid bait.

[@MSmith-jf5wo]

Nifty...! If you want to get a Really Controlled Temperature of Hot Air - on One Specific Place, you might look into using the Hot Air Gun of a Soldering Station. (I can control the Temperature and amount of hot air from 100 C. to 480 C., with nozzles from 3/16" to 3/4"...!) Just a suggestion from an Old Fart, that remembers fishing from as far back as 1949 - and STILL Fishing...! PS: Love your Videos, especially the instructions of what NOT to do! Haha!

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

yeah that sounds a little above my knowledge haha..and yes never stop fishing!! they aint gonna catch themselves

[@MSmith-jf5wo]

@@WorldsWorstFishing You don't have to buy one of those expensive Soldering Stations to get the Hot Air "Gun" (actually it's more like a Big Fat Pencil, with precision nozzle), as they can be found on Amazon and Banggood sites, fro around $35 to $50). I use mine for everything, including thermo-forming Kydex Plastic (Gun and Knife Holsters), to melting Solder...and Everything in between (including taking the bubbles out of poured Plastic Resin, when Casting).

Glad I saw this. Just got into plastic baits. I have 2 silicon molds and they are too much trouble for me personally. Too hard to get temps correct. But this is the way I will be going...all aluminum molds. Just ordered the AI DR 4" swim with individual injection ports along with the eye mold. BTW....saw that video also. Awesome!! Will also add one of Josh"s hand pours. Thanks again for sharing your info and talent.

[@bassmunitions5834]

I bought some molds from ai based on your video but haven’t used them yet. U said heat griddle up to 350 and let baits cool down when done. Do u turn the griddle off and wait or do you back the temp down slowly? Also, how long does the molds sit on the griddle for when your done pouring, prior to letting them cool off? Thanks for your time.

[@danijelalowden1961]

hey Chris great video lots of great imfomation the only thing i dont get is how long till you turn the heat source off to cool down ?please

Those look great but have you noticed bait companies having different colors for tennessee shad? My strike king and kalin tennessee shad are olive green instead of brown.

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

yes, many ways to skin a cat I guess..I see the same with gizzard shad colors..most baitfish all have similar colors...pilchards, bleback herring, threadfin shad, gizzard shad, AYU etc..you try and make something that looks natural and give it a name haha

[@thelonesomefisherman7425]

Got a question for you. I know you can add various glitters and assorted sparkles to the plastic but is there any way to get a prism, or mirror, effect? edited to add: Could Mylar be added or would that just melt? How about aluminum foil? Trying to think of shiny reflective materials.

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

mylar can be used..little mylar flakes and tubing shreds

[@messyfisherman4140]

could you set your cups on the heat source to heat them while heating your molds
