    Question Stick Worm Molds?

    Is there much any difference between the different 5.25" stick worm molds? I am looking at the ones I can hand pour like Del-Mart, Kmolds, others? If so which is best & why?

    Not really much difference. Seems like some have a little different diameter. Can't go wrong with DelMart top-pour. Also check out Caney Creek Molds: Welcome to Caney Creek Molds - Making Baits That Catch Fish - Fishing Molds, Jig Molds, Injection Lure Molds, Soft Plastic Hand Pour Molds
    Everything he sells is excellent quality & Jason's support is stellar. I don;t think they make a senko copy mold, but their "Carrots" are a good bait for the same technique.

    Not much difference at all. The MAIN difference is the size and space of the ribs (rings).
    The most important thing in hand pouring sticks is the mix. MAKE SURE it is stirred very well.

    i had the del-mart mold. the depth of the ribs aren't as deep as a GYCB Senko but they still fished great. also, just a tip, i used to grind up the salt in the blender and make it powdered before i put it into the plastics, they stayed super soft and you could put a lot more salt in them and still keep some durability.

    You almost have to "powder" the salt to keep it suspended in the plastic. A cheap $15 coffee grinder does the trick in seconds. Be sure to use an iodine free salt like kosher or sea salt salt. (Iodine kills fish)

    Also FYI... Bears Baits & Caney Creek Molds are running good holiday sales right now. Also... don't forget to keep an eye on eBay, but watch the prices -- sometimes they are not listed for any less $$ than new.

    IMO Bear's has the best salt on the market for that. It is VERY fine already and suspends well.
    Nothin like catchin 'em on your own creation!

    Not knocking Bear's salt, but Caney Creek Molds is coming out with a products called "HD Sinking Additive" that is supposed to be better than salt because it suspends better, doesn't affect the colors, & doesn't require doubling the colorant.
