Yes...the puppy and I survived the gag, the wife thought I spilled a cup of yogurt! That's only the second time I have forgotten to put the Vaseline on the mold before pouring the second half. The last time it was a simple lip-less crank so I was able to treat it as a one part mold and just cut it partially in half. This mold had too many critical parts so it was a fire drill to scoop out all the half-set silicon and hustling to wipe it all out and cleaning off all the parts and details. There was no guaranty that it was going to work...so I was nervous opening it. Any one out there have a different system to avoid the issue?

My method is to always put the jar of Vaseline on top of my mold until I pour the silicon that way I don’t miss it.

I really liked the result of the video... I learned a lot how to make this kind of lure. Thanks a lot.

Can you discuss any the basic differences in design from making a three part lure as to a two part lure?

@EngineeredAngler

2 жыл бұрын

The design only changes in weight and balance. You have a bit more options on how you balance the lure.

Great video once again! Definitely the best on you tube. I wonder if the hinge is as strong as the screw eye method? I built a lure like this with 5 joints out of a plastic material from hardware store. I forget the name but is white 3/4" thick with a wood grain on one side used for finishing around doors and windows. Takes a lot of weight to sink it. I caught a small pike on my 3rd cast then accidentally engaged the reel mid flight of the 4th cast and it sunk to the bottom after snapping the line. It felt worse than loosing a big fish! Lol. Would like to get into the hole molding process and love all the hard work and detail you put into each video. Thank you from Ontario Canada.

Thanks so much for watching and sharing your experience. I did the exact same thing with a swimbait that just the day before I had caught my PB bass on. I put a giant magnet in a landing net and dragged it on the bottom for a long while...I got my lure back!

Very nice looks the goods 👌 hope pooche doesn't get into to much trouble 😁 PS is Vaseline your go-to mould release? Ever use the spray on stuff?

@EngineeredAngler

4 жыл бұрын

It's my go to for the molds because I can put it on the silicon only and not get it on the lure body. The mold release spray can create a texture.

Cool, did u test it out at a lake

Good 2 part video. How do you secure the pins, did I miss that. Why make them so long?

@EngineeredAngler

4 жыл бұрын

The long pins you seen in the mold don't become part of the final lure. They're just there to hold the hinge plates in place so I can cast the lure around the hinge plates. The hinge pins are only about 3/4 inch long and are installed after the paint and first clear coat goes on and before the final clear coat. Thank you for watching.

So did you ever get the weedless swimbait to work? I’ve working on my ideas for a weedless glidebait for the heavy cover around these Florida waters.

Hey EA, when you did the the harness to hold the weight, was the harness going through the weight? Or did you bend the harness so that the weights sat in the middle of the bait ?

@EngineeredAngler

The weights I use are round split shot. I crimp them on to the wire harness where I believe they need to be.

What kind of clay do you use to make the first side of the mold?

I use the inexpensive children's molding clay. But if you are using platinum silicon instead of tin silicon you should use sulfur free clay.

Could you 3D print the mold out of sla??

@EngineeredAngler

4 жыл бұрын

You can 3d print molds but, the huge benefit to using a flexible material is that you can deform the mold to allow parts to be de-molded. Otherwise only the simplest of shapes could be molded, if you use a rigid material for the mold that is. The other benefit to silicon is that nearly nothing will stick to it so your parts come out easily.
