This was my first night with an injector, I have already tweaked a few things to better my pours but let me know what you guys think.

Looks great!  Definitely doesn't look like the first time you've picked up an injector.

Good looking baits, Drew.  Next step is to fill your shelves with different colorants and let your imagination run wild.

Those look damn good

Thanks guys, Denny I currently have 7 but expanding as fast as I can. Still trying to find soft plastic salt water molds for the guys back home but I have yet to come across any. Would love to have every colorant and every glitter on hand.  My plan is to expand into every aspect of the fishing world, I lean more toward fresh water now being in a land-locked state but i'm from Florida and fighting a fish for 30 minutes is a blast for me. Basically got started tying flies and met a gentleman that injected baits and painted hard baits for fun, he showed me a lot of things in this industry and I fell in love.

Other than two of your Wutz-It's are dead ; they look really good.  Especially for a first effort.  Good color choices as well.  You are well on your way.  Now follow Denny's advice.
You can never have too many colors or glitters.

Paul..pretty funny!!!

Didn't notice the belly up ones until your comment.

LOL, was just trying so show contrast. Does anyone have any tips for photographing baits? Some of the ones I have made I refuse to put up due to the fact that the color in the photo looks nothing like it does in person.

Nice job on the baits!  First time with an injector and you jump right into laminates!  LOVE IT!

You can search on Google or YouTube for "home made light box" and there are quite a few variations.  I made one out of a cardboard box, some black and white backdrops(some baits need a light contrast in the background, some need dark), bought two 5 dollar lamps, and a couple daylight bulbs (full spectrum) and that is all I use for my bait pics on my website.  I found the plan on YouTube and it works awesome!

Keep up the good work!

The first baits that I made just like a frog...that got ran over on the road.

Thanks for the help Shawn, I plan to make one very soon. As for the baits I have always prepared for the worst and hoped for the best with every aspect of life so "go big or go home" was either going to make or break my experiences with injection so i went for the My feedback has been great although I was hoping for some constructive criticism for the learning experience, don't hold back guys i'm not a child making his first birdhouse. Looking for the good and the bad.

Thanks,
Drew

Ok, Ok...your baits look like crap.  Just kidding, your baits look great.  If I had one negative comment it would relate to the photography.  The pictures don't show a close-up view of your creations.  We get to see the finished bait from afar without the pimples and blemishes.  Take a look in the gallery and you'll see some creative layouts...anything from an assembly line of carrots to nasty frogs.  I'm waiting for someone to inject over a ping pong ball and coming up with a wild version of a bullfrog.  Your baits looked fine.

First time with an injector and your product looks as good as the pro's. Make you feel good inside doesn't it? 

[TheDreamer]

Yes, the feedback here is great and makes me feel good. Wanted to test out a few molds before I turn this into a business venture. Jason will be a very happy man in a few weeks when I place my order.
