Best NJ 45 ml Aluminum Injector with Locking Nozzle for Soft Plastic Lures | DIY Tackle

Overview

Meet the Best NJ 45 ml Aluminum Injector, a compact tool built for DIY soft plastic lure making. With a 45 ml (1.5 oz) capacity and a standard 5/8 inch nozzle, this injector is designed to work smoothly with most molded bait systems. The aluminum body keeps the tool light yet durable, while a locking nozzle ensures the tip stays secure during use. Two rubber sealing rings help minimize leaks and maintain steady pressure as you pump, so you can focus on crafting lifelike lures. This size is especially practical for baits under 5 inches, offering a balanced grip and responsive control. Always wear gloves and protective clothing, as plastisol can heat up during operation and safety comes first.
