-
The 3” Es is 5 cavities, also looks to be available on the do-it site now too!
-
I ordered from Zeiners also. he sent me a e-mail saying he was out of molds until next Tuesday and he placed my order on backorder.
-
Sorry Gary I got what they had on Friday. I have a order for 100 of them in one color to crank out as soon as I get them. I got enough molds so I can pour 25 at a shot that means less reheats.
-
I only pour for myself...I can wait!
-
I also ordered mine from Zeiners, along with the freesytle mold.
-
Got molds today one tip pour right side with three cavities before the left side two cavity. And it will make a 1/4 oz jig move side to side one of the rare bait’s that will for its size.
-
Have you tried a 1/8 jig with a #4 hook? That might not be enough weight for it?
-
A #4 hook in a 3" Ripper might be short on hooking potential Gary. Any way you can slip a #2 or #1 hook in that cavity to make it a better sticker?
Mike, the tips are appreciated! My cnc 3" Rippers work great on 1/8 and 1/4 heads but I tend to favor larger hooks in both sizes of heads.
-
Gary I haven’t used a 1/8 with a # 4. I use the teardrop wire keeper the 1/16 has a # 2 , 1/8 # 1, 3/16 # 1/0, 1/4# 2/0.

I was lucky enough to get an early production mold for the 3" Essential Series Ripper and you will be very pleased with this mold. I have had great success with this mold. I've been injecting this mold with the plastic at 320-330 degrees. Great flow into the tail section with no problems with dents (by keeping the injection temperature as low as possible).
I've been using the bait as a trailer on my 3/8 oz. Arky chatter baits and it's been super!
The bait has been a real favorite with the Walleye and Sauger on the river on a simple round head jig. It has also been effective on the sand flats for smallmouth chasing bait. Perfect size for smallmouth!
Being able to make 5 at a time is a real bonus. They really eat that bait and it gets torn up pretty fast in the toothy fish!

I got my 3" ripper from do it on Saturday I'm hoping to shot it this sunday
-
It’s a awesome bait the eye’s think so.
-
I had the 3” cnc ripper before, and I love the bait! Got my 3” ES mold Saturday but haven’t shot any yet. Will be nice to make them 6 at a time instead of 1 though! Smallies and walleyes both love the baits.
-
Canga, I just got mine last week, haven't had a chance to shoot it yet, but I thought they had 5 cavities.
-
the es series does have 5 cavities, if you are referring to my "i can shoot 6 at a time" comment, i meant that i have the ES (5 cavitites) and cnc (1 cavity) so i can do 6 at a time instead of 1
-
Guys shoot the three cavity side first for best results.
-
Canga, Yes, I understand, I thought you meant 6 cavities in the es essential mold. 6 at a time, you can make a bunch in a hurry.
-
Have any of you tried to use the dual injector with the ripper essential molds yet? Was wondering if the cnc mold performs better then the essential series mold do to the multi-cavity when it come to dual injection.
-
I tried know only the bottom two cavities would take to the technique and met with limited success. Nothing to take a picture of. I blocked all of the cavities off by shooting with junk plastic and leaving baits in the cavities except the bottom one each sprue. It may have been the injectors, block and mold needed more pre-warming but things didn't go as planned. The bait from the three bait string might have passed muster had I enough to drink.
-
So if one want to make two tone rippers you would be better of with the cnc mold?

The CNC yes. The ES mold I'm still working on it.
