I can shoot BJ's longer as it takes them longer to get too hot while on the older ones I have to cease after 60-70 sticks, too hot and incomplete baits.

I have to ease up on the injection on his as the molds are vented so well.  I need to cull the older ones and obtain more of BJ's Stickem.  Shooting bot brand of molds at a time throws my rhythm off in the area of pressure.

I have 2 of the 4" stick molds from Bass Tackle. They are the most problematic molds I have. Obviously it's just me if everyone else doesn't have problems. I just can't seem to get 4 nice baits ever. Always one or more that dent or not shaped right. But as I said, it must just be me.

I have them, 6 to be exact.  compared to BJ's new Stickem molds, no comparison I am afraid.  Then venting on BJ's is amazing.

BTs are good molds, they make a stick that will catch fish but it is like comparing a Lexus with a Toyota, a caddy to a chevy.

I have herd that guys have had the same issue you are talking about! Most have said the gates are to small. Some have said that the nice shape at the top of the bait is great , but the small gate causes the dents .

I bought them in the last year but they were used (from two different sellers) so I have no idea how old they are. The fact that the molds are not the same size leads me to believe they were made at significantly different times.

I have other molds that are MUCH thicker bodied baits and therefore should have more of a problem with denting and I almost can't make them screw up but those stick molds are just a pain in my anus haha! I do use the HDA instead of salt, don't know if that would make a difference or not??

Has anyone used the 5 inch Basstackle injection stick bait mold ? If you have , what were the results ( good and bad .)

maybe try lower temps? hold pressure  an make sure u top off molds. Sounds like you have an older mold from when bob was there and a newer model that kevin made. I don't personally have experiebce with newer model but i have 9  older ones anywhere from 3" to 5" and they all shoot good. Some one that used to work there told me that bt stick molds have to small of a gate . But i never had a problem.maybe open it up some?
