I searched this first, but could not find any results. Could be the way I am searching. I just started and am having a ton of fun pouring, I have made my own "pop" mold of 3 inch senkos . I am assuming that I need to use one of the epoxy coats that were mention to coat it, but I am wondering if the coat is what will give me the shine and oil feel to my baits. Right now I am using a lot of softener and salt and my baits are nice and buoyant but not shiny. They are very dull looking. Thanks guys

Sorry I did a serch and found my answers should of did that in the first place my apologies...

About to take the plung! New year, New hobby. I have found two starter kits one from lure craft and the other from Del-mart molds. Del-Mart more expensive but their site also has better images so I have a better idea of what I would be getting. My question is I just want to be able to make some 3 or 4 inch "senko stlye" baits and I was wondering if anyone had a prefered mold they would recommend? Thanks and Happy New Year
