Hey Gents, I'm new to the forum and been watchin you guys for a while and I have to says the knowledge you guys have is second to none. I've been workin with some hand pours off and on for several years and thought I would step-up to some injection molds. I got the cc croaker for my 1st and after reading all the tips y'all have posted I only messed-up 1 on my 1st batch, and that was cause I ran short on plastic on the last one. I look forward to gettin a few more when funds, kids, and wifey allows. I wish this wasn't so darn addicting.

Hey welcome to the forum! I started out with a croaker as my first injection mold too. Now I've bought 5 or 6 injection molds.

Welcome BAC I looked at and read forums of 5 mold companies over a one year period. And found a home here with CCM. It is hands down the best group of guys and gals. That are always able too answer any problem you may run into. And lets not forget the master of bait design Jason and his family along with the group from Do-It. This is a force that no one can bet. Thanks again for all the great baits. Mike 8)

Hey BAC...ditto on what everyone else said. If you like catching fish on something you made, you're going to love this forum.  In addition to what everyone else said, I'd suggest you go on YouTube and search for stuff like "pouring plastic baits", etc.  There are a ton of videos out there.  You might also check out Frank's videos and the Caney Creek videos.  All good stuff.

Welcome.  Tell us about yourself.  Start with how much money you have.
Until next time.

LOL Denny.  I have a feeling it will be a lot less soon enough!
