Making Baits!

[Captain Ahab]

Just put in my order for molds, plastics and all the goodies to start pouring soft plastics!

Get ready - I will be sending samples

 

[Jim]

Here we go, Let the games begin? What kind of molds? Or is it a secret?

 

[Captain Ahab]

4' sticks and 3.5 tubes


Those are the two baits I use the most

 

[Jim]

Been toying with the idea of making some buzzbaits myself. Who knows. :shock:

 

[FishinsMyLife]

I'm just as happy seeing all of these amazing baits ya'll make, and maybe testing a few out . Really though, the baits ya'll make are amazing

Nice man Nothing like making, fishing and catching fish on your very own baits!

 

[BassAddict]

When i saw your post on doing your own tubes I knew youd be hooked, let me know if you need a field tester, ill be willing to scrafice my time for ya hehehehe

Yah I can't wait to see how the tubes come out, if I made any plastic thats what it would be.

Me and Shinerman77 got into making 4" brush hogs a little over a month ago, once we get a formula that actually starts catching fish for us we will be sending em out to some forum members for field testing too

 

[Captain Ahab]

Got my stuff today - poured the 1st round of 4" worms and 3.5" Tubes. Of course I made them in the colors that I use the most for each

I am pretty happy with the consistency, sink rate and colors, but I will be experimenting after a few field tests

 

[Nickk]

nice!

 

[SMDave]

Those are nice! I like those fatter-style skirts on those tubes!

 

[BassAddict]

Nice color, this is my go to color too, almost all my fish I catch on green pumpkin because its my cofidence color. The sticks looks soft as $%^, I cant wait till i can afford the stick kit. All in all nice first pour, keep it up

 

[Captain Ahab]

I am still experimenting with softness and colors - got some awesome chocolate colored tubes going then I burned my plastic!

Now I am making softer tubes in a milk chocolate color w/ dark flake - they look really sweet as well.

30 seconds then stir till you learn how fast your microwave will cook the plastic. Im trying to make some coffee colored brush hogs, so far im close but not perfect. Maybe we can exchange recipes

I have poured about 50 tubes so far and about the same number of 4" stick baits. Got some good colors and softness going on and I am gonna give them a test tonight.

The one thing I do not like is that becuase I only purchased mold for personal use, the 4" senko type baits have a flat spot - I am sure they will catch fish, but they do not look as pretty as I would like.

Anyone who wants to help me test is welcome to some :shock:
