[QUOTE="Captain Ahab, post: 2840, member: 10"] I keep reading articles about pour soft plastics and stuff - well today I decided to give it is go! I found that tube baits are made by dipping the mold in the liquid plastic and then using a tool to cut the tails. Of course, I have no mold to dip and no tool to cut the tails, so I improvised McGuiver style! I re-melted some town plastics that I saved and used several different sized plastic dowels a molds. After heating the plastic to the correct temperature i coated the dowels in oil and and dipped and spun. Cut the tails with a razor and they look certainly usable. Not a pretty as i would have liked but I think I can catch fish with them. I am going to try them on some small mouth this evening and will give a report. [/QUOTE]
