Replacement arrived!By the way, I did forget to mention that the original lure did have a decent strike however as most anglers will attest you can get a hit ruclips.net/user/postUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 and fish will hang on and release lure. I used the replacement lure yesterday and ran thru a Shimano Waxwing, Kastmaster, Bobber (set to sink). I found the does run deep (I casting on the flats 3.5'). Make sure you adjust your rate of retrieve and rod tip angle (up) to prevent getting snagged on bottom. Used it a couple of times and action was very lifelike (looked like local bait fish for trevally), craftsmanship very good....however eyeball fell out. I asked for replacement and it is on it's way! It was very easy to change out treble to single inline hook.
What it looked like to me was that shooting the core has less to do with pressure and more with an arterial draw. That is why the upper ones tend to fill faster than the lower ones. If there is a flaw in the core then pressure comes into play. What was cool to see with the bloodline was the pearl purging the purple out of the belly and into the tail then the belly filling with pearl creating a nearly flawless laminate. A huge THANK YOU to Josh for covering his CNC machines with plastic shavings so that we could see this. Also a huge THANK YOU to both you and Josh for incurring the cost of this demonstration. The loss of production time and expense at AI just to produce these molds may not be fully realized by all viewers. 👍🍺🎣
On the core-shot that didn't fill all the way, I'd say the fluid pressure wasn't high enough to fill the bottom until the spru was about half full. In the slow motion video, you can see it tried to fill about half way through the pour but the material that hit the bottom of the spru first probably chilled, skinned over and clogged the in-gate to the bottom cavity. It happens a lot in the casting world and it's called a cold shut. The only way to prevent this is to build pressure faster, keep the material hotter/insulated or increase the in-gate size to lower the sensitivity of clogging due to chilled material/low pressure. You hit 2/3 on those options on the blue and clear core-shot. With 8 years of experience in the casting industry and a passion for fishing, this video was awesome. Great work!
I cannot thank you and Josh enough for doing this. Seeing the way it works inside was fascinating and I think I have learned as much as I was simply entertained. Too bad the oil seemed to not work, those laminated looked great!
@@WorldsWorstFishing and learned, that was really wild to see how the colors either mixed or stayed separate. I always wondered why they didn't just mix together.
Hey Chris. Great intro! Loved it! OMG! Clear molds! How freaking awesome is that! It was awesome to see the injection process in action! Too cool! This is my 2nd favorite vid of yours! Thanks Chris! Thanks Angling AI! Fantastic!
That and it also seemed like it cooled faster because the plastic that goes all the way to the bottom loses lots of heat to the completely empty mold. Everything above it had the ability to go through the part of the mold that was already heated
Oh man this made my day. As everyone else has stated that was really cool! Was every bit as awesome as I hoped. Thanks for going and doing this! I had done a bit of research on it and knew it could be done, but the material is pretty darn expensive.
This was a great idea! Super cool to see how it all works. I’m an industrial mechanic and we make plastic containers such as mustard bottles and oil bottles. Really cool to see how it works!
Wow that was really cool!! Also awesome that a company was willing to work with you to come up with this! I think it would be really cool to do the same with a blending block that way you could see how everything flows from start to finish.
The bottom one didn't fill, most likely because your runner was too wide, which created a higher pressure than what the air needed to escape. If you made the bottom part of the runner deeper, it may have filled. At 9:53, you can see the pressure equalize (the resin moves back), once you release pressure in your injector. Also, not sure why your mold is sideways, would be much easier and hassle free, flipped 90° facing up. If you need to keep this design, you should add vents (air escapes) on the opposite end of your parts, which direct airflow back to the top and out. Injection molding, these can be 0.025 mm (4-8k tons/in²), but since you're not applying a lot of pressure, I'd aim for 1 - 2 mm, depending how quickly your resin/silicone settles. It's easier to cut of the ends, than to lose a part. Which is another thing, not sure what resin you're using that it's exotherm'ing so quickly. If you're able to, I'd let it exotherm naturally, then post-cure it if you need the extra thermal and mechanical properties. In fact, if you're heating it on purpose, there's a chance you're losing properties. Also, a lot more expensive and harder to get, you could try polysulfone for your mold, especially one reinforced. You can get the Tg over 400F. If mold clarity is absolutely necessary.
That was gnarly. I'm not a bit maker. So don't know all the new advances or anyting but I've never seen worms made with pins like that for second colors. That's super cool.
Beautiful bait turned out! We also pour plastisol in acrylic forms, cheaper than aluminum! Only more clamps are needed, it turns out to be an environment at the lures. And it's just super !!!
Pretty awesome! It was crazy watching the Laminate on the swimbait. The top purple color actually started to go into the belly some but once it was filled and pressure was applied it pushed it back. Very cool. Good stuff! 👊🏻
Interesting to watch. I would like to see a follow up video of you using sprue extenders on your largest bait to see how the extender allows for more plastic to get sucked in. From the video you just shared, I don't see a lot of opportunity for the mold to suck in additional plastic even when you topped it off. There some back vacumm action when you pulled off the injector that you can see the plastic actually get pulled back out of the stick worm. That was neat. (the TPG Baits guy)
hey ben!! the runners supply enough plastic for the cavities to draw in...I mean the real molds work well so there is enough runner to work...that one core that didnt fill in went backward and shot air back out the sprue..would have never known that haha.
I’m very new to soft plastic making but I’d be willing to bet that the mold cooled down the first bit of plastic enough that it didn’t flow well, where the plastic above that was contacting already warm mold (plus more thermal mass from the surrounding plastic). When using the Jann Netcraft molds, I found that before pouring the mold, I needed to dump a little bit out because the pour spout on the measuring cup was cool enough that the first bit of plastic would set way too fast. Dumping a little bit on the counter right before pouring brought the cup up to temp in that area and fixed the problem. I’m guessing that’s why the hotter temp filled out better. A deeper / larger sprue might let more hot plastic build up in the bottom before going into the first cavity. If it extended down past that first one another 1/2” for instance, you’d have a bigger volume of plastic built up before it starts to fill out, if that makes any sense.
As a former bass fisherman, I absolutely loved this, loved the blue core... You should send this to Roland Martin, he does stuff like this as well and has some videos out there too.. Thanks for the video, I thoroughly enjoyed it..
Awesome video! In the past when I have had issues with my core seinkos it’s always the bottom one. Makes a lot more sense after watching this video! Side note... so glad my laundry room is in the house!!! Haha!!!
@@WorldsWorstFishing what the best way to get into this. my son put me on your videos and started saving all of our used plastics. Looking for a starter kit but not sure where to start.
@@WorldsWorstFishing its nice to see you respond to comments. So many times i have questions and leave them in the comments to never be answered. Thanks for taking the time to answer some beginner questions. Means alot to me and my son. Your and inspiration. Keep up the good work.
Great video,loved the core shot and bloodline laminate. thank you for all the effort and lengths that you go to keep us informed and entertained. my first 2 Angling AI molds will be with me in South Africa in 10 days time cannot wait to use them.
Great video, thank you for posting it! The blood line was my favorite. I've always wondered how they are done. I mold and build my own hard baits (spinnerbaits, jigs etc), but I don't do soft plastics yet. I'm thinking I'll start.
The clear molds really give you a good look at how the plastic flows. But I have a question about these types of molds and the air. For stick worm for example. It fills bottom to top, left to right when its hot enough. As it is filling in from the left where does the trapped air stuck in the tips/right side go? I don't see it pushing out the fill end. Or is there enough space in the mold that the air can escape the cracks but the plastic is too thick? I don't see any sprue holes like you would on a hand pour closed mold.
Idk what I was expecting it to look like but that's definitely not it lol. Its amazing to see what actually happens in the mold. Another Awesome video!
Hey all, I actually have a degree in plastics engineering so I thought I would lend some knowledge. The top lures filled first because plastic is a non-newtonian fluid and it causes a pressure gradient from the nozzle to your end of fill especially with such a thick sprue.
Thanks so much for watching! Which one was your favorite to watch? Swirl? Bloodline laminate? Core Shot??

great points all around!! I loved how the pearl pushed that purple back in line! It cost quite a bit to make this video.

That was awesome to watch the plastic flow. Great video
it was oddly satisfying haha
Really Amazing to watch the "internal" tracking of the injection process !!!
Brilliant !!!!!
Thanks man
I've had the Janns clear molds for many years. I got the first ones back in the late 70s and they still work fine. Yours are great.
The coolest thing I’ve seen on RUclips. The swirl was my favorite. Thanks
thanks so much man
Same, it is extremely satisfying
on the bloodline core shot, it appeared that the bottom one caught air and it became trapped in that bottom worm. Amazing to watch though!

Loved the blood red core shot
What company makes that injector, looking for one with a handle like that.
I'm guessing the top filled first because it is the closest to the pressure source.
19:03, how do you make the belly section a different colour? Does your injector have 2 different cavities in it?
It’s a double injector
Definitely a cool process

Hey all, I actually have a degree in plastics engineering so I thought I would lend some knowledge. The top lures filled first because plastic is a non-newtonian fluid and it causes a pressure gradient from the nozzle to your end of fill especially with such a thick sprue.
