Quickly becoming the best bait making channel but I think the triple color is more for catching fishermen dual color will just as many fish. Keep up great work can’t wait for next video
Thanks for the kind words!!! Yeah that’s why I tried to show the pattern in a variety of ways, the triple injector is by no means necessary to get a good looking bait. The dual laminate looked perfectly fine. 👍🏼
Mr M, you have to be a true Star Wars qeek to even think about color matching the Dark Saber let alone accomplish the feat. Well done young paddle foot. That grub looks like it could feed a family of 4. But like to told Adam " I like big baits and I cannot lie." Dang it, now I have this mental image of you doing remakes with fishing themes AND dancing like MC Hammer. Stop the madnesssssssss
A dual walk in the park vs triple... dude, you ain't lie'in! Who knew adding just one more color could cause so much trouble! I think two microwaves is the ticket... shoot, 3 if you have the wiring to handle it! I've also heard (but have yet to try) that the defrost mode is the ticket to keeping stuff warm juuuuuust right, once its at the temp you want. Need to try that soon. Awesome stuff man! That mega grub was off the hook! #thisistheway
Great demos...too much info!!! Couple things regarding the disco flake that may help someone. I haven't been using it long. You turned me onto it a couple weeks ago. I have an 1100 watt micro. I would bring the plastic up to temp let it cool to 310. Then mix in the flake and inject. As long as I kept it in a 2 cup pyrex on the reheat, it was fine. Short shots of heat and not letting it get above 310. I shot a couple hundred grubs, was down to the end with no loss of color. transferred to a 1 cup. Even with low temps and 15 second reheat cycles it turned green instantly. Believe the 1 cup concentrates the heat. Give it a try. That disco flake is awesome. Nothing looks quite like it. Look forward to future videos...thanks again!
Thank You!!! Ohh that's a great tip on the 2 cup pyrex. I'll give that a shot. You might be onto something, because I agree with you, it takes longer in my 2 cup to heat just 2 cup of plastic. So I wonder if the thicker glass is causing for a slower heat-up therefore protecting the purple of the flake. We must test this further!!!!!!!
This colorway would be sweet in some more saltwater lures!! Reminds me of an anchovy/herring! I know the lingcods/stripers/halibuts would kill that color! Awesome video 👍
Long ago many lure makers decided to make pretty lures to attract fishermen with no regard to weather or not it will catch fish. Remember new and improved? Remember the flying lure, helicopter lure. How did they stand the test of time. That is why I do not sell lures, I just make lures that catch fish. I understand color is seasonal and regional. Fish like perfect imperfections not healthy bait.
Oh yeah, there are lots of colors out there for the fisherman. Gotta collect'em all right? LOL This one turned out pretty good. I think it has a solid chance at catching some bass.
I was considering for a long time whether to order EBM 12" epic grub, and today I ordered it, thinking about the giant northern pikes and catfish I plan to catch with these twisters this year, we'll see XD
Awesome! You’re going to love it! Make sure to give that code enough time to cool down, it’s thick so it’s going to take a few minutes to fully cure enough for de-mold. 👍🏼
I very much enjoy the channel and your enthusiasm. Question about the giant grub, how does the tail work? If you are pre-pouring the darksaber tail and then adding it to the skim coated body, wouldn't you need to either have one half of the mold milled deeper to make up for the adding the tail and keeping it centered? Or is the plastic thin enough that it really doesn't matter?
Thanks for the kind words!! As for the tails in the mold, you are correct, the mold is designed to be recessed to accept the tail. The last inch of the body of the grub molds around the inserted tail to form a solid bond. This way you can shoot the mold all by itself, or you can use the separate tail mold like I did.
No. I used Worm Blend for the skin pour and the tail, and saltwater blend for the body injection. So it has a soft outer skin and a really flappy tail, but a super solid core for strength.
I shit the center core at about 340 F as to not burn the sparkle flake. Yes you are correct, I baked the entire mold at 350 for about 15 minutes on the hit plate before De-Molding. 👍🏼
I don’t know. It was a no-name brand purchase off Amazon. Just search “scientific heating plate” and there are lots of options. I went that route for the flat aluminum surface vs. the presto griddles that a lot of people use.
I have no idea yet. I'm open to suggestions. I definitely think I could nab something on it trolling it behind the boat out in the Delta. It would definitely make for a fun video!
Yeah that's what I'm thinking! A Delta Striper definitely has to grab this thing right? OK 12/0 sounds like a good place to start. If not a Jig Head, maybe a 12/0 Beast Hook?? I need to pick some up anyways for the Epic Boss Mold, so I'll try that on the Mega Grub.
In the description for all of the videos I have a link to my Amazon Store and I usually list out all of the equipment I use. But I made it easier for you and included a link directly to the hot plate here for you. Cheers and Tight Lines! amzn.to/41iZ1PW
