World's Worst Fishing Yes sir great video and very informative. I’m having a little bubble trouble so tell your buddy’s at dead on plastix your Alabama buddy will be placing a Christmas order.
Yeah it was long but it didn't feel long, so much information and all solid too. I can honestly say that I don't know of a better beginners guide on you tube than this one
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.
Your videos give new definition to the term "Click Bait". Every time I click on one, I learn how to create a new bait!! Thanks, your content is second to none. God Bless The Jones' .
Hey Chris. Just watched this video again for the third time. Really appreciate how simple, yet informative it is!!! Starting to gather supplies bit by bit, for when I finally am able to pour my first bait(s). Thank you so very much for the tutorial session!!!!
I’m starting to get into making my own baits and this is by far the best video I’ve found on getting started you got yourself another subscriber and supporter keep doing what you’re doing.
I just made my first mold (open pour off my favorite senko shape), and should be getting in my plastisol ,glitter, and colorant in a few days. Excited to get pouring, your first video was a huge inspiration to start bait making, this one just builds on it. Thanks for taking the time to teach the art.
Chris, my name is Shawn, and I just watched this video, and it is my very first video, I have ever watched of yours! I watch a ton of videos, tutorials and DIY Videos, and I want to tell you , that it was HANDS DOWN, the Best, and most thorough tutorial videos I have ever watched on YOU TUBE Period! You speak well, and not too fast, and make the visitors that are watching feel at ease, and want to hear more, and you held my attention, and interest, till the very end! I was looking for a video that could teach me, ( Without having to watch a ton of BONEHEADS that have no business on here) attempting to even try to do a so called tutorial, and the 2 seconds I happen to watch of theirs, before I keep looking to find AMAZING Tutorials as yours, are them trying to rip off actual great guys, like yourself, which is totally obvious! LOL! I love the snare drum roll, on one of your molds, at the beginning of the video, by the way! Ha Ha, that was great, and another reason, I kept watching! My first love is music, from COUNTRY to ROCK , and when I’m not looking for a new hobby, or small business, I am a professional Vocalist, Drummer,(That’s why, I loved the drum roll, Lol) guitar player, song writer, and producer. So I’ve had my fair share of videos on You Tube, as well. Lately ,I have been Cowriting and singing, with my great friend, which so happens to be the Bass player for the Iconic National Country band, “LONE STAR”, as far as Country goes, and recently ( BEFORE THE BIG QUARANTINE ) I was out on a tour as Lead singer for Jake E.Lee, who, used to be the guitar player for “Ozzy Osbourne”, and Anthony Esposito bass player for “Lynch Mob”, in Jakes new band, “RED DRAGON CARTEL”. I grew up in Fairfax County Va, moved to Los Angeles Ca. For almost 30 years, and now I’m back in Fairfax Va. Back to one of my son and I’s favorite passions and sport,........ FISHING of course! Chris, I sure hope you are still reading this, and that I have kept your interest, cause I am also a sculptor and mold master, in Silicone, and resin molds and I want to design and sculpt some crazy cool soft plastic lures, that will be Amazing! In 2009, I decided to make a guitar pedal that NO ONE had ever done before! I was told by many famous guitar players, that it would never sell. Not only, did it sell, it won pedal of the year, best new product, and I won Best booth at the NAMM Music Convention. Chris, it would be a blast to collaborate, on some lures and or, if you need resin, or silicone molds made, I’d be more than honored, to help out! After watching this video, I am soooo pumped and inspired to sculpt up some CRAZY NEW LURES! Thank you for the inspiration, HAPPY FISHING!!!!
Thank you for sharing such a great comment, glad you like my content.. Wayne country music has been something I've done passionately since my 10th birthday..please email me if you would like to chat further. I get hundredss of emails each month.. but I will try and respond.. world'sworstfishing@gmail.com
My kids and I are learning about fishing, boating, and making you tube videos. Thanks for the great video I am subscribing so we can keep up and learn from your work.
Just stumbled across this in my almost nightly fishing channel surf, and MAN...great stuff! I came to the realization today that I'm dropping a fortune on my favorite plastics because those are 99% of what I use. This video opened up a lot of possibilities, but my learning curve could cost a fortune as well 😂😂
Chris, I've done a little silicone mold pouring of swimbaits, but no injection molding. Your high quality instructions and easy going manner are highly appreciated!!! I also love your pics on Facebook of your beautiful family!!!
some of the best video`s for somebody getting started, i open pour and just wanted to let u know that to get that high gloss no need to dip into clear just run a propane torch over ur trimmed/finished baits then dip baits under cold water only for a couple seconds to "set" plastic, works great!! thanks for doing ur video`s!
I was not sure on how to start making baits and what was involved, then I watched your video. I have to say thank you so much!!! Your video is priceless to the beginner. I now make my own baits with colors that work in my area and save money doing what I love!!! Thank You and keep the lines tight
Thank you for this video. Me and a spec ops bud of mines are trying to start a soft plastics business. This video helps out a lot. Wish you much success!
Thank you for this video. I am currently looking to start my own business making soft plastic baits and your video has only made me more excited to do so.
I forgot to properly mix my plastisol after it sat for months. I didn't clue in as to why the baits came out slightly firmer than snot until I noticed the 6 cm of solids in the bottom of the jug. Took a whole bottle of hardener to firm up the batch. A valuable lesson learned.
Bravo 👏 I just recently retired and you have shown me invaluable information on how to get started with quality and there’s no substitute for quality equipment and not everyone is willing to share their knowledge. Thank You
Another awesome video Chris. Thanks for taking the time to help guys get started. It was your videos that got me off and running and I appreciate the info!
I sat threw the whole video. Nice job! Very informative. I shoot some baits only for myself and some buddies to use and I’m love to learn new stuff. Try this, when you do your hand pours use the smallest Pyrex cup that you can get. Helps with controlling the flow. That works wonders for me. 👍
Your videos are awesome, I just recently found you as I research bait and lure making. I plan to keep watching to see what all you make and learn what I can.
Thank you for all of your videos. I have just spent the last week watching a ton of them. I am just starting out on my journey of making soft baits and your videos have helped inspire me to try. I am purchasing items that you are suggesting and where I do not see affiliate links I am putting down in the notes that I found these places through you. Thanks for sharing and please keep it up. I am looking to do Salt Water grubs and Swim Baits. I would love to see a video on that or updated beginner purchase ideas with affiliate links as it helps your channel. Deadonplastix 5 gallons was my first purchase with some colors and glitter from them and lurecraft.
Thanks coach, another great video, it was your first version that started me off on the path to plastics and i look forward to every new video that you produce.
You inspired me indirectly to sell molds / lures as well! This is one area where I immediately thought we could pay off the CNC machine, it easily carves into aluminum. Design was the more difficult part but thanks to Fiverr, the drawings coming into CAD was very easy. Feeds and speeds wasnt bad. Aluminum supplier was the challenging part due to specific sizes but buying in bulk equates to whole sale pricing with near free cuts. Next step is selling internationally, mainly in North America. I think a much lower price point will equate to better sales over absurd prices I've seen everyone else selling for. Anyways, I wanted to thank you for your videos.. hopefully with the skyrocketing sales in kayak fishing and outdoor sports in general - 2021 will be a great year!
Hahaaa watching this video now is kinda funny because you are awesome at open pouring and you're like these are all I have... congratulations on how far you have come you're pours are really inspiring I enjoy your videos
Man... this reminds me... I had a toy when I was a kid called the Creepy Crawlers maker. Basically, it was a gross-out EZ Bake Oven where you'd pour some colored gunk into a metal tray and then stick the tray in an "oven" powered by some light bulbs, which would dry out the gunk and turn it into a rubbery insect looking thing. Grubs, spiders, ants, dragon flies... name the bug, they probably had a mold for it. Which kinda makes me wonder... has anyone ever tried using creepy crawlers as baits? They weren't made for fishing, and they'd probably have little to no action... you'd probably have to texas rig them or something... but I bet fish would still hit on the bright colors and insectoid shapes.
I had one of those creepy kid sets and I fished the grasshoppers lol I caught stuff as a kid and since then I've been interested in making my own baits
Awesome vid, man! It is very helpful, so are your others. I am new to the hobby, and just ordered a mold, plastisol, some colorants and glitter. I live in Spain and we are not lucky enough to have as many related shops as you have in the U.S.A., but I will try it following your tips. Thank you and keep up this great job!
Just came across your videos I was looking for rod making videos watched those and you said you make your own plastic baits so watched this.I do make my own old school style wooden poppers plastic looks interesting may try it next.
hi I'm making lures from almost 15 years ago, love to use soft plastics because of his action. I used them a lot, and I was thinking in how to make them, I Google it and what I found do not satisfies my search. But finally I found you and this video gives me a bunch of ideas and how to start. Here in PR there is just one or 2 soft plastic makers so, I can be the third with pretty cool ideas. thanks a lot! definitely a channel to watch.. I will watch all your videos.. thanks for share your knowledge!
Awesome video! Learned a lot and can’t wait to start. By the way, I see you have a good ventilation set up, but as a respiratory therapist. I would still recommend using an N95. Micro particles are still being inhaled, which over time can lead to respiratory issues. Just some friendly advice.
depending on the bait, for open pours more often, the "Flashing" actually adds to the bait in dimensions i never thought of before, like i can pinch the flashing to make small ribbon tails off the body which i'd never get before. Like for my custom worms i did, i've been getting more fish with flashing on the sides and just messing with it randomly. Gives the fish something new to look at.
Saved this video for last .. lol. Great video Chris very informative. I love your bloodline mold (funny your colors are superior to the pics on AAI website). Do you have any other mold with a hook slot. I love split bellies as they offer more rigging options. I've altered most of my silicone hand molds adding a slot to them. Wanted to say thanks again for re-sparking my interest one opening my eyes to more possibilities and variations.
i have designed my own lure but need a plastic tail and cant find what i want on the market. i have an idea but wasn't sure how to do it. you have helped a great deal. im already designing and making my own open pour mold. Thanks for your info...
Great video. As a fisherman that's environmentally conscious, I'm looking for materials that are safe and biodegradable. Any alternatives to plastisol?
Great video even help ppl like me when I order. My frogs look great by the way can see the highlights a little better in the vid. Thanks again for everything
Fantastic. I’m in Tasmania and love fishing. I have been looking at lure making for a while, this is far the best instructions I’ve seen. Now all I need to do is start looking for local suppliers? Thank you.
Thank you for the information on and about these molds I have an idea for different mold that I believe would make a big hit in creature baits. And again thanks for your time to create as oppose to running through so cannot understand the process.
I got to thinking about the video where you played with coffee and then the Hobby Lobby stuff and that got me to thinking about Peter Brown's channel and his Shop Time videos where he tries different coloring agents in his resin casts. I think some of those might work in your worms.
I agree with your comment on why cnc moulds are expensive with the level of detail and consistency. But from my knowledge on the line I'm here to tell ya that once they get a beautiful finial product via the cad software and or Gcode its just copy and paste from there. And our machine times are no where close to what they were 5 years ago. Morale of the story is you're paying a pretty penny for a chunk of aluminum and that's that. The code is already written up and saved to an archive. They only write the extensive detailed code once. Much like how an artist spends weeks carving and designing a stamp once it's done it only takes moments to create prints (or copies). Cant justify that price for a block of aluminum and some thread holes tapped.
Your videos are the best. Has saved me many hours and $$$$. on the learning curve!! Every video has great tips in your playlists. Been spending some time this winter to start making my next year's collection. aI got some from Angling AI and enforcer---GREAT molds. Where did you get your trick worm molds? I've been looking online but can't seem to match it up.
glad the videos helped! My trick worm I think is now over at BTS molds, however there are other great ones too imo. Ai makes the highest quality molds in my opinion.
Thank you , just finished it , my goal for next year is to do my own boilies and plastics , will get back to you via e-mail with the results. Thanks alot
Most down to earth channel on yt to date ive been making spinnerbaits and basically anything with a jig even mad a few flys in the past super fun btw if u ever wanna try it but havent ventured into plastics yet and im really interested in makong some gonna buy some molds and do the damn thing
Excellent video, have you thought about adding an overhead stationary post into the microwave that would stir the plastic as the turntable rotates? Just a random thought I had... anyway thanks for the excellent info I always wondered what the injection molds looked like and how they were injected. Thanks again.
Is it possible to get a tougher body with a more flexible or softer tail in a swimbait? Also, where do you get your packaging for your lures? Great video btw
On your hand pour molds, should try taking a flat object and scrapping the top of the mold after pouring. Will give you a flush top and make trim ups a lot easier and quicker.
Excellent Video, and very informative. Curious about how to get your injector Warm before you use it. The last 25% of the plastic in my injector is usually already set up when I go to pour the left over back in the cup.
Found your channel about a week ago. Thanks for all the good videos you make for us. Wanting to get started with plastics soon. I know it depends on the size mold but do you know about how many baits 5 gallons make?
Back when I started I used to count all of that stuff..I would get about 20-25 baits per measuring cup..if it were frogs then I'd get less. Start with a set amount of plastic and see how many you get, then do the math and get your estimate.
Be sure to check the description for tons of links!!
What links?
@@smisekscustombaits4621 look in the video description..theres like 20 links to bait supply websites
I was kidding, there is a huge amount of links in there. Now you can just point people here. ;-)
I'm @ 11:00.
yes I will, you should do some 25cm swimbaits
If you sat through the entire video... thank you haha..a long one today.
World's Worst Fishing
Yes sir great video and very informative.
I’m having a little bubble trouble so tell your buddy’s at dead on plastix your Alabama buddy will be placing a Christmas order.
Hats off to you sir, i appreciated everything in this video
Loved it! mmkay ;-)
Yeah it was long but it didn't feel long, so much information and all solid too. I can honestly say that I don't know of a better beginners guide on you tube than this one
@@basscatlildave you'll love the dead on
As someone who has been pouring plastic for approx. ten years; this is the BEST video I have seen on beginning plastic pouring!! Five stars
Hey thanks..that means a lot man..it's a hobby that needs a comprehensive beginners guide.
How long do you let them dry where they aren't liquid if you are melting baits take other baits
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.
Do a video showing the process of re-using baits... quick video and it has saved me tons of money.
same process. But just throw old baits in the liquid plastisol
Your generosity of sharing your talent to the world is deeply appreciated to the core of our hearts. Such a confident, confident individual. Kudos!
Your videos give new definition to the term "Click Bait".
Every time I click on one, I learn how to create a new bait!!
Thanks, your content is second to none.
God Bless The Jones' .

Hey Chris. Just watched this video again for the third time.
Really appreciate how simple, yet informative it is!!!
Starting to gather supplies bit by bit, for when I finally am able to pour my first bait(s).
Thank you so very much for the tutorial session!!!!
Oohhh 40 mins I got time for that on this rainy day 😄
Every time i see your vids.. i wanna buy/make lures and fish.. that is the best compliment i can give ya i think
I appreciate it sir
@@WorldsWorstFishing you can say dude, i am 22 haha. Its almost 11 pm and im watching pouring vids.. damn i am addicted to fishing whahaha
I’m starting to get into making my own baits and this is by far the best video I’ve found on getting started you got yourself another subscriber and supporter keep doing what you’re doing.
Fantastic video, Lots of information for a 64 year old beginner. I appreciate you taking the time too help show techniques and giving great advice.

depending on the bait, for open pours more often, the "Flashing" actually adds to the bait in dimensions i never thought of before, like i can pinch the flashing to make small ribbon tails off the body which i'd never get before. Like for my custom worms i did, i've been getting more fish with flashing on the sides and just messing with it randomly. Gives the fish something new to look at.
Awesome video just getting into bait making because they quit making my favorite bait in my favorite color
Trying to learn to make baits and this helped a lot!
Saved this video for last .. lol. Great video Chris very informative. I love your bloodline mold (funny your colors are superior to the pics on AAI website). Do you have any other mold with a hook slot. I love split bellies as they offer more rigging options. I've altered most of my silicone hand molds adding a slot to them.
Wanted to say thanks again for re-sparking my interest one opening my eyes to more possibilities and variations.
Great video, this will help me a lot for making plastics
awesome, that was the goal
i have designed my own lure but need a plastic tail and cant find what i want on the market. i have an idea but wasn't sure how to do it. you have helped a great deal. im already designing and making my own open pour mold. Thanks for your info...
Brother WWF,
Absolutely awesome video! You are a very good teacher.
Thank you Dan!
You mentioned crooked baits. Do you have any tips how to re-straighten a bent worm?
Love it bro! Most fulfilling video I have seen in a while!
Excellent video, learned a lot. Answered all of my questions. Thx
You rock dude. This is a great video. Thank you for sharing.
🙏🙏🙏
really great hands on video ! good job, nice to learn , thank you!
Thanks for watching
Great video. As a fisherman that's environmentally conscious, I'm looking for materials that are safe and biodegradable. Any alternatives to plastisol?
Great video even help ppl like me when I order. My frogs look great by the way can see the highlights a little better in the vid. Thanks again for everything
Not too long at all. Very interesting and informative. Thanks and I’ll subscribe so I can see all your videos.
thank you sir
Just ordered my stuff today I can’t wait util I can make them
great video .... thanks... plus love the Yuengling since I am in PA!!
Awesome video, exactly what I needed to see. Im excited to get started!
Fantastic. I’m in Tasmania and love fishing. I have been looking at lure making for a while, this is far the best instructions I’ve seen. Now all I need to do is start looking for local suppliers? Thank you.
Dude I don’t make soft plastics. And never will. But your videos are awesome and keep me watching anyway... keep up the good work man
I’ve been fishing like twice in my life but this is totally legit.
Thank you for the information on and about these molds I have an idea for different mold that I believe would make a big hit in creature baits. And again thanks for your time to create as oppose to running through so cannot understand the process.
👍👍
Could I just lay the bait back in the mold for curing?...seems like the best way to keep the shape
I got to thinking about the video where you played with coffee and then the Hobby Lobby stuff and that got me to thinking about Peter Brown's channel and his Shop Time videos where he tries different coloring agents in his resin casts. I think some of those might work in your worms.
great information I'm just starting and hope to grow a business ! your tips will help me get there!
thanks man, its a fun hobby/business to try, just make sure and be safe while doing it.
Hey so am I wanna support each other, our insta is offthehooklure
Very nice video Chris! Thank you.
Watched this 3 times now, along with your other videos. Looking to buy stuff to start pouring and injecting this winter :)
awesome!! thanks for watching
I agree with your comment on why cnc moulds are expensive with the level of detail and consistency. But from my knowledge on the line I'm here to tell ya that once they get a beautiful finial product via the cad software and or Gcode its just copy and paste from there. And our machine times are no where close to what they were 5 years ago. Morale of the story is you're paying a pretty penny for a chunk of aluminum and that's that. The code is already written up and saved to an archive. They only write the extensive detailed code once. Much like how an artist spends weeks carving and designing a stamp once it's done it only takes moments to create prints (or copies). Cant justify that price for a block of aluminum and some thread holes tapped.
Your videos are the best. Has saved me many hours and $$$$. on the learning curve!! Every video has great tips in your playlists. Been spending some time this winter to start making my next year's collection. aI got some from Angling AI and enforcer---GREAT molds. Where did you get your trick worm molds? I've been looking online but can't seem to match it up.
glad the videos helped! My trick worm I think is now over at BTS molds, however there are other great ones too imo. Ai makes the highest quality molds in my opinion.
Thank you , just finished it , my goal for next year is to do my own boilies and plastics , will get back to you via e-mail with the results.
Thanks alot
Sounds good man
You're the coolest do it yourself i've ever seen in my life The absolute coolest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PS. Looking for more videos like this, looking to get started in making my own lures.
Great video. I am starting small. Learning. Gaining knowledge. I have a bait company I will launch soon. Gotta start at the bottom !
Most down to earth channel on yt to date ive been making spinnerbaits and basically anything with a jig even mad a few flys in the past super fun btw if u ever wanna try it but havent ventured into plastics yet and im really interested in makong some gonna buy some molds and do the damn thing
Super informative and very detailed!
Excellent video, have you thought about adding an overhead stationary post into the microwave that would stir the plastic as the turntable rotates? Just a random thought I had... anyway thanks for the excellent info I always wondered what the injection molds looked like and how they were injected. Thanks again.
never thought of that..some guys use cooking pots with electric stirrers if you are doing large volume.
Is it possible to get a tougher body with a more flexible or softer tail in a swimbait? Also, where do you get your packaging for your lures? Great video btw
Safe to say that this isn't about saving money on baits, rather a hobby for a fun pastime!
On your hand pour molds, should try taking a flat object and scrapping the top of the mold after pouring. Will give you a flush top and make trim ups a lot easier and quicker.
Excellent Video, and very informative. Curious about how to get your injector Warm before you use it. The last 25% of the plastic in my injector is usually already set up when I go to pour the left over back in the cup.
I never preheat the injector...so I dont really have any good advice there
Found your channel about a week ago. Thanks for all the good videos you make for us. Wanting to get started with plastics soon. I know it depends on the size mold but do you know about how many baits 5 gallons make?
Back when I started I used to count all of that stuff..I would get about 20-25 baits per measuring cup..if it were frogs then I'd get less. Start with a set amount of plastic and see how many you get, then do the math and get your estimate.
