Black Blade

Thanks again for the info fellas! Presently, I live in Oshawa but by July will be relocated to North Bay. Looking forward to getting back closer to home (born and raised in Deep River..good ole Ottawa Valley boy!), got family all up through there on up to Cochrane (haven't fished up there since was a kid) Ontario has that one draw back...more lakes than you got years to try them all out! Will contact Mike thru his website, for sure...sounds alot simpler and helping out a fellow canuck at the same time.

Thanks for the replies guys, just wanted to get the skinny on this before I pull the trigger on it. Last thing I want is for TOWMBO to go ballistic on yet another of my 'saving money ventures'

If another Canadian TU member could chime in, I would be curious to know how much it costs to get the orders over the border. If it is more hassle or less for the larger containers (5 gallon) over the smaller units.

Has anybody done any calculations about how cost effective it is to make your own soft plastics? Sure, you have the freedom to make any kind of shape that enters into your mind, but for all the regular shapes like worms etc, is it worth the money, time and effort to make your own or just keep buying them? I am asking this from the POV of living in Ontario, Canada, so have to factor currency exchange, shipping, possible border charges into the mix as well.

I live in Ontario, Canada...of course no place up here to get this stuff... Would you be able to get bigger amounts like 5 gallon pails over the border?

I have been looking on Lurecraft's site. I was just thinking of getting natural, black and white for now, since these are the most commonly used colors I use. After those the choice gets kinda boggling...all the different shades of green etc...lol.

Just wondering how much color to get. Just starting out in making plastic and was going to get 4-1 gallon jugs of plastic, a few worm moulds, a few basic colors. Was thinking of getting 4 oz bottles of the colors...how far would this go in light of the amount of plastic I am planning on getting? The moulds are 6" worms and some senko style as well. The site looks like its going to be a great resource for a newbie like me...thanks in advance!
