This is what I think of when I think crawfish.....

I'm not anywhere near Michigan, but welcome to TU!!

I did years ago. Unless things have changed, it was one of the worst plastisols I have ever worked with. Hard packs easily and smoked big time!
-
A Senko and most stick baits are loaded with salt and other ingredients to get them to sink.
-
I don't know why I didn't think of this, but as a pest control guy, I get all my liquid chemicals from UPS. Of course, you can clearly hear/feel the liquid in the box. Probably won't with colorant.

Here's a kit I just found on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/JDiction-Silicone-Molds-Making-Manual/dp/B08ZCDT63L/ref=asc_df_B08ZCDT63L/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=663271582232&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=17986420754261790022&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9031864&hvtargid=pla-2216265738164&mcid=c5fa1f774a0438fb9778e9fb3976d5e4&th=1

Sorry my old eyes missed that, brother!

Back when I did this, I couldn't find anything softer than MF super soft. Don't know why you'd need anything softer than that. But like the others have said, to save your current batch, softener will do the trick.
-
The post office will ask you if there's anything liquid or hazardous. My only concern would be keeping those little bottles from sloshing around.
-
A simple one is black top, strawberry red with blue hi-lite bottom But as Jig Man said, there are a few in the cook book that you might like Good luck
-
I have a bunch of very similar worms, like the trick tails and such, but this exact model is a tough one.
-
Any pictures of what you're after? Or am I the only one who doesn't know what a cut tail worm is? LOL
-
Thank you for your service, brother!! Hope you can get the color you're looking for.

+1 Any Zoom with the word "candy" always equals purple glitter mixed with whatever. The disco glitter is something I don't believe was available when I made baits, but I used a bunch of holograph glitter. I think either would work well. That base color (on my monitor anyway) looks to be a light green pumpkin. Looks like a pretty easy single color to make. Peace
-
Sure was a ton of talent in that area. I haven't heard of the first 2, but MGM was awesome!
-
Same here. I was never a big producer by any means, but I always kept a gallon or 2 of plastic set aside with added stabilizer for re-heats. Tails, claws, etc.
-
I don't know anything about that plastic, but yes stabilizer would definitely help. Start with maybe a 1/2 cup per gallon.
-
Ditto. I've mixed just about every brand available at the time with no problems.
-
There were 2 really good ones in that area at the time. Probably this one and also Paradise Worms. I believe he's been out of business for about a decade.
-
We just keep deleting and banning! It slows down eventually. Thank you all for continuing to let us know.
-
Tough color to find. It doesn't look like LPO offers that color and MF has been down for 2 to 3 months with no explanation whatsover. Wish I could give you better news. Maybe someone else has a source.

That Ukranian mold company mold material (Baitmold.com)

I have a couple of their molds and honestly couldn't take a guess, but I'd call/email and ask them. They just might be cool enough to tell you. -
Anything you like. Play around with it and find what works best for YOU! Personally, a really good base flake would be lots of small red with a touch of large black flake. I used that on many of my baits. When it comes to flake color and size, the possibilities are endless. Oh and welcome to TU!!

Nailed it.......for now.......

Check out the sticky thread above called "List of Lure Mold Companies." Most of these companies also sell plastisol. Good luck!
