HI all: Over the weekend I had an idea about the possiblilty of painting or powder painting a weed guard. Is something like this possible? I was thinking about trying to paint a couple of strands of the weed guard to match some of the silicone strands in my jig. What do you think? Thanks, TDawg

I have been searching online for tungsten fishing weight manufactures and have not had very much luck. All the manufactures that I am coming up with are located in China, and I would rather not deal with someone overseas. I am interested in buying weights by the pound or in small bulk. I am mostly interested in the weights for myself, but thought I might try and sell a few too, probably on eBay and to my bass club. Anyone know of any manufactures in the US that might be able to help me? Thanks and good fishing, TDawg

I was wondering if anyone knows of someone who could make a custom slip jig mold for me? I have looked at the hilts and do-it molds and they only go up to 9/16oz. I would like one that pours 1oz, 1 1/4oz, 1 1/2oz, and 2oz slip jigs. Anyone know of someone who could make this for me? Thanks and good fishing TDawg

I will take it for $40. Do you accept PayPal?

Hey thanks for the info guys. Anyone else have any good tips or things I should be concerned about. Oh sorry for spelling soft plastics wrong on the topic. I can't figure out how to edit it tought. TDawg

Hey all, I am thinking about getting into pouring my own soft plastic baits and was wondering what you all think about pouring outside. I don't have a garage or a shop to pour in, so I thinking about some sort of portable set up in the back yard. My patio is not covered so I will be open to the elements and of course I know that I will only be pouring on blue bird sky days. What do you all think and what else should I be aware of besides moisture? Thanks, TDawg

Thanks for all the good info everyone! I think I was getting a little a head of myself regarding the Hudd baits. I am brad new to the idea of pouring my own plastic baits and still have a ton of reasearch to do before I even think about pouring. My biggest problem is that I don't have a garage or shed to pour in, so I will have to set up everything outside and then take it down when i'm done. Any suggestions how to go about doing this? TDawg

Thanks for the heads-up on that. Ya these baits are very expensive so I think I got a little a head of myself by asking for info on how there made. You have some nice looking baits on your site by the way. I would love to learn how you make them. I have been reading about how to pour soft plastics on this site and del-marts molds site, a ton of very good information. I still have a lot of information to learn as I am very very new at this. Any info that you could provide on how you got started or books or DVD's that you recommend would be invaluable. Good fishing, TDawg (Matt)

Anyone!??

Hi All: I am thinking about getting into making my own swim baits and plastic baits. I was fishing last weekend and throwing a Huddleston 8" trout, and started thinking about how they are made. I have looked online a little bit and found the smooth-on website that has silicone and rigid plastic, but I am sure that this is not what these baits are made out of. I am certainly not asking anyone to give up there trade secrets nor do I want to infringe on anyone's copyright, but what I am wondering is what are these types of baits made out of? I do not want to nor plan on copying these baits in anyway. I say Huddleston style swim baits because I am not exactly sure what to call these baits. I only know them as a soft plastic swim bait. I am very new to this as I have never made a bait before and thought this would be a good place to start. Thanks and good fishing, Matt

I am not sure if this is where I am supposed to post this or not but here goes! I am new here and discovered this website by googling swimbait building. I have read a lot of good info alread about how to make custom baits. I have been wanting to get into making my own baits for quite sometime, and think this will be an awesome site to learn how to do it. Just wanted to introduce my self and say hi to everyone Good fishing, TDawg
