I'm on track now.

I appreciate you taking the time to reply. I have a pretty definite plan in mind. I have stout enough equipment. My main thing is I need to learn how to make a mold of a fish. Right now after reading posts on here for three days, my best guess is to do the same thing as if I were making a worm mold, only use a fish, or a carving. (I vote fish)

thank you for taking the time to reply shaggy. Our water clarity ranges from swimming pool clear to almost muddy. My first challenge is just to figure out how to get a basic fish shape or blank. Then how to get the right action, then how to get a hook, or hooks into it. Common sense would say to just buy some of those big plastic offshore trolling baits,and adjust from there. But, the creativity of doing it myself is pretty appealing to me. Any additional advice or posts anyone can steer me towards.

Hi guys, incredible site. I love flathead catfishing. But, we have some restrictive live bait laws. I would like to make some big plastic baits that imitate a couple of the favored forage fishes(drum,carp,shad) our flatheads eat. My first instinct is to make a mold from some of those forage fishes. Would a 2 piece plaster mold make sense to start with? Is there a better way to create the prototype? Thank you
