I’ve developped some sort of irrational hatred when I see one guy or another pushing the latest and greatest in the popping cork game

Oh, yeah it cost more to do this on an individual basis.
I pour my own 1-1/2 shad to mix hard and soft plastic.
Hard plastic for the body to prevent hooks from tearing it up also with salt to help it sink.
Soft plastic for the paddle tail to vibrate a lot when dropping with no salt.

You ever modify any of the molds? Like drill holes in the shrimp one to add legs or eyes?
Posted on 7/19/18 at 11:28 am to F73ME
I did not. I did have some modified by the builder.

What made you give it up?

Kids. Getting up at 4:30-5:00 every morning to go pour before work got old. When it became like a job and not fun I knew it was time to stop.

I ordered a 4" Swim Shad mold and injector off of eBay. I'll start with recycling first.

Which mold did you order?

Are you sure that mold is an injection mold? That very well could be a one piece mold. For that price I am willing to bet it is a one piece POP mold.

I emailed the seller

Where do you buy your plastisol from?

MF- Manufacturing. They are outside of Dallas. I tried several brands but always came bask to theirs.
