Bryan, I never said I wouldn't. I will send both the Word document and the Excel table if contents to anyone that requests it. I'm here to get help and give it. I'm not greedy, I just took the time to put it together. You will still have to buy the notebook and sheet covers if you choose to do so as well as keep up with new recipes sorting in the contents page. I also make notes out to the side on some of these. If I change something or add something I like I pull the sheet out and mark those changes and put it back in for safety. Just send me an email to awestarcustombaits@yahoo.com and I'll send it to anyone who wants it! I will be making updates to it weekly with my own. Just remember, when you speak of me, speak well! Lol

Hello everyone, I wanted to share my actual soft plastics cookbook. I have searched every website and search engine of recipes and put them into a document. I then made an Excel spreadsheet with the names and page numbers, then sort from A-Z so I can search the recipe names by name, which gives me the page number that it is on. The reason I didn't put them in alphabetical order was because I took them from multiple sites and everyone posts different recipes. When I add another recipe or page, I add it to the Excel contents and resort, then replace those pages. I have all of the pages in clear page protectors to protect them from spills, etc. I also have some blank pages in the back to make notes to add later. I also made sure not to have a recipe split up between 2 pages. Thoughts?

I think maybe you should just make it available to everyone. It's not like they're your recipes, just one's you've compiled. The fact that 2 posts down you're asking for a recipe would seem to back that up. JMHO

After more research today, im up to 90+ recipes

You can also make colors change. Try 4 oz. plastic; 2 drops black; 1/16 to 1/8 tsp of blue highlight( depending on how much color you want) and black glitter. You'll be amazed at what you get. Use as a belly color with a black back. First time I've given this one away. www.novalures.com

The overseas crew watch this site . That is why a lot and I mean a lot of things aren't posted any more . When I first started on TU there was someting new poped up every few hours . If you want to get a look at most of our copied lures go to Alibaba.com You'll get an education .

They are out there. You have to understand one thing about showing something at Icast, it is the first place you WILL get your design copied. There are alot of people just cruising looking for the next thing to knock off. Happens all the time. Us manufactures are out there just have to look. Most seem like it is just easier to get it from overseas. The people from this board are of a differant breed, we will make something come to life. Most new people that dont have a desire to create with there hands. They think I came up with the idea let some one else make it. I talked to quite a few companys that dont offer soft baits and the majority of them though it needed to be made over seas. I educated them a bit and let them know there was another options out there. I actually got one to bit and will be talking to them this coming week. A magical company is not out there but there are some out there. You just have to work on it.Be real carefull who you give your ideas to also, very carefull.

You don't have to have a lot of experience to participate. Remember, every lure maker here started out just like you. )Some of us had it a little harder though. When I started there wasn't TackleUnderground or even personal computers then so I had to learn on my own.) There is a list of rules at the top of the "Lure Swap" forum. Please read them. They should cover any other questions that you may have. When we have another swap you are most welcome to participate, if you'd like. Gene
