@aggmrfbass No you dont have to use toggle bolts, they just work good with the wings, even if you cut the bolts down or just use shorter bolts. Anytime you drill fiberglass, theres a fine line between too fast and too slow, gotta find that medium speed. I havent made the video yet but I will, its fishin time
Thanks for taking the time to put this together. Well done. My mold cracked when I was trying to ssparate – maybe b/c I was drilling too fast. Do you have to use toggle bolts? Also, you mentioned putting together a video on melting worms. Has that been done yet? If so, would really like to see it. Thanks again.
@Bbkflys absolutely, but I had a bunch of fiberglass resin sitting around, I figured I would give it a shot. I would love to have a nice 2 piece aluminum mold, someday i will grab one
Wouldnt it be a lot easier to buy a used aluminum senko mold for $40-50 off the various tackle making forums or ebay?
@Mikeandwendy74
It takes at least a minute in a micro to melt it, then count how long it takes to cure and package… lot longer than 30 seconds.
@n3m3sis2 senkos do not cost 2 bucks lol. it takes 30 seconds to melt the old ones and repour them, and this setup makes perfect replicas
Hours of work for making worms……… they cost 2$.
@Offenceless Only a fuckin faggit like you would ask that question, pound pavement scumbag
Do you play with your dick the same way you play with that “10 pound bass killer?”
@aubreyfarmer yeah those suckas cost alot of cash, they tear and rip easy
Awesome! Thanks. I am tired of Yamamoto getting rich off me.
@Maddawgbaits you could do it with one side, you would have to trim the excess rubber/plastic after you pulled it from the mold, but I make all kinds of crazy shit and hook fish, so don’t let normal thinking limit you to what you want to try, I dont and it works for me pretty good
can u make the senko with just one of the epoxy sides or do u HAVE to use both
thnks but do u need to put that clear liquid inda little bottle?
what is it called
@LordRuckus thanks for the tips I am going to try that with a spice grinder it makes perfect sense, the finer the salt the easier it should be to keep it flowing when pouring.
Thanks for sharing. I’ve been making molds from plaster and then coating them with epoxy. This way is stronger and cuts out the need for the epoxy. For those asking about salt, grind your salt in a spice grinder or a coffee grinder until is is almost a powder. You can mix that with plastic that doesn’t already have salt added to give it the weight and action of a Senko.
@mrtaboocobra the material is : bondo fiberglass resin, the right stuff gasket maker to stick the worms to the pan, I used a simple electric palm sander to smooth the 1 st half of the mold, it doesn’t really take much to make the mold. I used a 1/4 inch drill bit to drill thats about it really
can u please tell us all the names of the tools u used please. it wuld really help. nice vid
@MPAV101 thanks, the resin warms itself when it is curing, but I do heat it up when I pour, it gives you more time to work with the plastic when pouring your worms. I sand the first side, reinsert the worms, pour the second half, then clean the edges and the pour holes, but I do not surface sand the second piece of mold
hey do you warm up the resin and also do you clean up the second side like the first side.thanks really nice mold”)
@PurpleHeart1337 did you stick the worms to something? if the resin got down underneath which I think is what happened, just sand down the bottom side until they come out….sand it down some more, then flip it over, put the worms back in and pour the top half.
I tried making a mold and the worms got completely covered in the mold… now I can’t get them out lol. what did I do wrong?
by the way id love to see the 10lb bass killer in action!
@realbigdawg91 i agree i would too. really awesome idea!*****
@Skimpy253 well I’ll tell you this, the only way to make a perfect senko….is to melt a senko
Most of yamamoto’s are loaded with superfine salt, but its the amount of softener added…. thats thier secret. If you like fishin with soft plastics, you should definetely try out the Rage Tail baits from Strikeking too…they work just as good as Senkos
