Hope it went well

I have cast quite a lot of baits with those baitmold.com 'stone' molds. They have to be brushed with worm oil every second or third cast, then there will no sticking issues. The first casting with a brand new mold is always a little tricky even if properly oiled. The biggest number of castings per mold I've done is roughly 500 and there has not been any visible signs of the mold being disintegrated but I don't suppose they will last forever. They are an inexpensive choice when making baits for yourself, but not that great for any bigger production obviously. Anyway, I'm more than satisfied with the molds, comparing the price vs. the result and also the fact that they have molds for many of the catchiest baits. If I could get the exact same molds in cnc-milled aluminum, I would not hesitate buying them.

Whoa, another drummer who loves fishing and making baits. Cool stuff man.

Good video! It was great to see the finish difference between the molds. I have been using the “stone” molds for 2 years I do have to oil often and over oiling can create problems with swim bait tails and creature bait flaps but over all I have figured out a technic to get pretty good baits ever time. All that being said I don’t sell my baits I got into it to make what I want for tournament fishing. But after seeing the finish difference I might buy one of the CNC molds just to compare how much it affects the color tones I make might be a big difference and a game changer ! Again great video!!!👍

THANK YOU CHRIS! You have taught me so well and saved me $$! I first started with pouring Do-it lead molds, excellent products. So naturally went with Do-it soft plastic molds. They worked OK. Lots of denting and learning curves. Do-it injector is really a problem for newbies. Dangerous by blowing the tip off (no pins) . I honestly would never recommend that injector. I purchased a AI mold thanks to you and what a difference, night and day. Now I am building my collection of quality molds. I am no Pro but I recommend waiting until you can afford a quality CNC mold from a reputable maker. I borrowed a stone mold from a friend and with proper oiling (I actually use WD-40 ) it pours very well, especially for less than a $20 price, but it does have limitations such as over heating and needing oiled every few uses.

I started making my own lures recently. I did not want to invest a lot of money so I went with stone molds first. Have to say they work great! Just have to keep them oiled up. I use oil butter spray and also let the molds cool down if I am making a lot of lures as they tend to stick for some reason. I have also made my own molds and they came out okay. Not perfect but I am catching bass on them all which is really cool

I sprayed my do it essential molds with high temp engine paint. Huge improvement over how they finish baits.

Yes. Paint has held up good. I don't make large quantities. I'd day I've made over 500 baits with mold and paint is still good. Just clean mold good before painting and use a high temp gloss paint.

I think they all have there uses. If you are making and selling then CNC is likely worth the investment. If you are doing it for yourself to fish with and maybe give a few away then CNC is not going to catch you any more fish than a properly poured bait from a cast or stone mold. There has been tons of fish caught on baits from Do-It wast molds. We are making baits to catch to a fish not curing cancer. I think sometime we lose sight of that aspect when dumping $200 (off the shelf) to $600 (custom) on CNC molds when you can get custom stone made for normally less than $100 from companies like Bug Molds on eBay.

Great information, especially for someone who is new to soft plastics. I can see how they may think that starting off with the cost effective mold would be the best option however the cost is made up in replacements from damaged molds. hope this saves someone money in the long run.

As an entry level, soon to be soft plastic lure maker, I feel so prepared thanks to you. I've watched about 70% of your videos and am still going.

Your description about stone molds is the most realistic one that I found till now

I bought my first sinker molds a wail back for a few 100 dollars and some jig molds and they where do it molds and what I do is pour in one pour enough to pay for the mold it’s self but I guess with plastic molds that probably not possible or productive because you don’t want a bunch of the same stuff like you would with weights and jig heads I love having bulk items that actually save me money. But I think am getting more into the hobby and trading saving money for having the versatile to change colors and the add actives and truly make a different bait in the same mold is awesome.

Hey Teach. I have a stone mold from Best_nj on amazon. It is a 1 cavity mold that pours from the top. It is a 4" craw mold and it pours perfectly. It also does a great laminate. I don't use worm oil though, it is too expensive. I just use the cheap spray cooking oil. It also makes the bait shine. But mostly I use cnc aluminum molds because you are absolutely right, They are the best. Thanks for the video, it was good to see the differences for people just starting out.

Really like the comparison of different materials for mould making. CNC looks to be the clear winner all around even though the cost is at a premium.

ive noticed my stone molds start to degrade just a tiny bit after a year of moderate use. not all of them though, some have started to kind of erode around the edges but the cavities are still good. I didn't have as much trouble removing them as you did but I oiled them at the beginning however I don't re-oil them all that much....im using small baits though and they probably don't stick as badly. I think they are great for the price but nothing beats a fancy aluminum mold....anyone reading this feel free to buy me some :)

The denting on the doit molds can be solved by oiling. Rippers (what Chris is shooting here) and senkos are the worst offenders. shoot them slow, around 315* and oil them. I like vegetable oil spray to oil the molds (I just use cheapo walmart great value spray).

Hey Chis, as lot of people cannot afford the CNC molds, and may want to get multiple cast "Do It" molds for the price of one CNC mold, I think you'd be doing a great service to both the budget and start-up bait makers by showing various methods to tune/tweak the cast molds, to improve the quality of the baits and make the most out of what may already be affordable or owned. The high temp paint sounded like a good trick. Polishing with a Dremel type tool would be another. Get the "B" rating up to a "B+ or A-". You could use that multiple swimbait mold (granted, a worm or stick bait mold would be easier) and to a different method in each cavity and show the results of each. I think that would be something a lot of people would appreciate. Thanks for this vid. It was valuable information.

Yes you get what you pay for but......Some just can't afford $200.00-$300.00 molds. Most have to "buy" their molds? Stone molds can and do work for what they were intended for and for many will work fine (a quick spray of silicon works great and a wide blade screwdriver vs a butter knife to open). Do-It cast aluminum molds work great for what they were intended for (a quick spray of high temp paint, clean none mold surfaces voila gloss baits).. By the way take a CNC molded and a Do-It sand cast molded bait put them in water and see what the difference is, the fish nor most will ever notice the difference? If one follow enough forums EVERY company seems to have problems with lumps, bumps, etc.(operator error)? And how about you take one of those fancy $250.00 ** molds out back and smack it with a hammer a few times and see how well it holds up? As far as instructions.....hmmmm never got any with any of my expensive "name" brand molds. Other than that great video.

Is it possible to take a dremmel tool with their polishing pads and apply rubbing compound, then polishing compound and actually get a much smoother finish from the Do-it molds. Also, if you limited your purchase of stone molds to simple worm patterns would they be more successful? Just asking.

Not sure how fair of a comparison that is. It looks like there is still plastic stuck in that tail on the stone mold from the first run.

Don't oil a stone mould. Use a proper universal mould release spray and the lures will come out just fine. On both baitmold and bugmold they recommend lubricating the mold so why shoot it without lube? Seems pointless and destined to fail. It's like trying to drive your car without putting gas in it. CNC moulds are great, but for the hobbyist just making baits for themselves and maybe a friend or two, I'd go with stone everytime.

Awesome video! Great content. Now you have to test the baits side by side at the lake. Some tips from my experience with stone molds: These molds as with many things have a break in period. They work much better over time. Oil is a no go for the same reasons you described in the video. Waiting too long to remove the baits causes me sticking difficulty. If you remove the baits while the mold still has a little heat in it makes it come out much nicer. Just like cookies on a baking sheet, they are more difficult to unstick while cold. Firmer blends of plastic also perform much better than softer blends.

I know this is an older video. I do have a special place in my heart for the blue silicone molds. I have better luck pouring a 3 pour worm. I can get the heat just right to split the bloodline on the middle layer. It looks beautiful. Especially with a top smoked color with a split gold dust bloodline, and the bottom smoke. I like how you can add volume to the worm, height wise, without an actual over pour. I've bought 1 piece CNC flats, I can't get those results. I also bought a couple injection molds, they are en route from BTS and and AI. Now I can't find the GOOD injectors with the locking cap. I need a triple with a triple and a double block. I guess pouring flats for the last 25 years has me stuck in my ways. Just need the injectors to start this journey and get with the times.

Chris, I think that reading comments about stone molds, quite all of them describe good experience, isn't it? So, I think that you have to review your opinion about them. Sure, stone molds are not easy to inject, there is a training curve, but ONE thing has not been said till now: you can find quite all most famous soft baits replicated by stone molds. I personally started with silicon pouring mold, now I use my own two halves silicon injection ones, I bought an american 4 cavities alu CNC mold, it's great, I also use some sand casted german alu molds, but believe me: my best injected soft baits come from the cheaper stone molds ... they are machined by CNC, too.

- Thanks for the review, I have ordered and received 5 of the stone molds, I have all the parts now to start pouring / injecting. We will see what happens... not real encouraged about them now...

Im a beginner. What are the best but affordable cnc mold brands?

I have the same ripper molds lol🎣

I use baitmolds alot. Just spray some Pam on table then take a tooth brush and lightly brush on mold ever 3 times you shoot. Have shot thousands of lures perfect.

Chris, Can you explain the heating up of the molds? Seems I’ve seen the molds on a griddle/hot plate type item, but what is the purpose, etc. Thanks.

I would encourage everyone to make their own molds

I actually find a full finish can bring beneficial. I rough up my flukes and some other plastics sometimes to take that sheen off of it and it makes it look more natural I feel like. I know Shad are very glimmery fish but especially when it comes to bluegill colors, green pumpkin and the like, I’ve found it to be effective. So the finish in some cases is not the biggest deal. That said there’s no substitute for the tolerances in a CNC product

Great video...Where do you purchase CNC molds? I want to make shad swim bait lures for salt waters Thank you.

Angling Ai molds

I have poured thousands of tails out of a stone mold. No problems! I do lube with tooth brush every third time!

Glad they work well for you. The tail design on this Stone mold was definitely a tricky design that would even give trouble in CNC.. I imagine a simpler design in stone would yield good results when lubricated.

I am new to bait making and I have a few stone molds but they are from “Best_nj” and I love them you should really try them out for another comparison video!! They work great for me! I have multiple swim bait ones and a few frogs and flipping bugs! Anyways love the videos bro!!!!!!!

Looks kinda like the Do-it mold in this video (the swim bait I like)

Which CNC swimbait mold was that? Link if possible

Brother, I need information about making a mold, can you help me?

hey chris . great channel you have here . i have a question about denting . i use a cnc mold and i get to much denting for my liking . was wondering if there is a way to fix this issue ?

What mold is better a benteto bug or a senko mold?

What about silicone molds for hand poured baits - go do they rate?

Love em! Have many videos with silicone open pours

CNC molds for sure. I do use some cast aluminum molds still since thats what I started with before getting molds from angling AI. Great video, keep them up.
