It does take some getting used to.  Tom makes a great point about Temps.  I also found it easier to draw a T on my mold so I remember which way is top.  I've had runs of great colors be upside down or backwards.  The other thing for me that I'm still working on is contrasting colors.  Not all combos turn out like I picture in my mind.  Stick with it.  You'll get it figured out.

Twin injectors take so getting used to. It'll come. I think the biggest issue to overcome is getting the two plastics as close together in temperature as you can. and then slow the injection speed down.

It isn't easy at all.

I have two targets in mind: 1. bass and, 2, the State Fair.

These will suffice for the bass. I have a couple more slightly different blanks primed and hope to get them finished this weekend, that I will have to pick out one from all of them to take to the fair.

Pretty happy with a couple of these shown, but there may be one better come Monday.

Crappie / Pan Fish Jigs / Another great morning.
« Last post by ctom on 04/28/25 13:03 UTC »
Once the weather passed this morning that turned out to be a few sprinkles instead of a major blow like the weather terrorists had us thinking, I hit the local lake and tried for my dinner's worth of crappies. I succeeded. The wind could have been a factor had it been blowing from any other direction, but it was in my favor when I got there. Like the last trip the 1/16 ballhead w/wire keeper cast on a #4 Victory round bend hook, purple, wearing the 2-1/4" Fry bait in junebug/chartreuse tail was the ticket.

Still, fishing a deep breakline at about 4-1/2 feet under a small float got the fish right at the edge of the break where it wants to shallow up.

The lake was socked in with clouds but it stayed dry while I was there for the hour or so I fished. I kept enough for our dinner tonight and let the other go play some more. Nice 11 to 12" crappies. Thwater temps are still in to low 50's so it'll be a while before they get to the pre-spawn areas, but they're plenty catchable right now.

General Discussion / Fishing this morning.....
« Last post by ctom on 04/25/25 11:39 UTC »
I hit a local lake this morning and fished a shore spot that is always a great early season location. It did not fail, but the fishing was a little slower than I thought it would be. The water is high there and the lake is under a lake-wide no wake rule so it was pretty peaceful out there.

The 2-1/4" Fry done in a junebug body/chartreuse tail under a float on a 1/16 jig caught all 15 of my fish. The breakline I was fishing drops very sharply from 3-1/2' to 4' into twelve feet of water with a bit of current. The float was set at five feet and I kept the jig right on the edge of that break. Worked nicely. I kept five decent crappies for dinner. We're still a long way from the spawn but the crappies will be starting to orient to the prespawn areas real soon now and the fishing will pick up pretty good.
