I wish I had more time to pour and get on the boards. Ice 88 I already completed a pdf with the recipes from this board and several others. Go to Lonestarbaitco.com and get a copy, there are bound to be some you don't have.

For detailed instructions on how to make a PoP mold you can go to the webpage in my signature. PoP is the cheapest to start with, for around 40.00 you can make a lot of mistakes and still get useable molds.
-
You shouldn't find any bait with ragetail claws or tails, those fall under patent protection. They can be pretty easily duplicated with PoP not that I would know.

Edgecrusher, It is a shameless plug, however I took the time to gather and post this information so everyone could use it. How can they do that if I don't let them know its available. The post is about mold companies people are free to use this list, or they are free to use the one I created which will save them tons of time. The list is also missing janns netcraft and m-f manufacturing. I now have the missing companies updated on my site. (19 mold companies with links.)

Information Question From Potential New Guy
Lonestarbaitcompany replied to Artjr's topic in Soft Plastics
Art, RUN RUN RUN! Crack doesn't have a thing on this hobby. You will start off with a single electric burner and tin pot and next thing you know your shopping for microwaves at yard sales. If that doesn't convince you go to the website in my signature and get some prices on startup costs. You can also check out some videos and see what is headed your way. Make sure to watch the Warning video its meant for you. All that said... there is nothing more rewarding then catching fish on baits you made yourself. -
Nice list, I see a couple I didn't know about. There is another resource for bait molds Lonestarbaitco.com under the mold suppliers page there is a list of companies and the types of molds they make with direct links to the mold websites. It makes it a little easier to skip companies if you only want aluminum or only hand pour molds.
-
Welcome, I don't believe you can find more information anywhere than on this forum, I do have some information in an easier to find format on my website, (see sig) I keep up to date lists on starter kits, plastic suppliers, mold makers and types of molds, and if your interested in making your own PoP molds there is some good new person info. Enjoy!

Nebraska, You can make excellent Molds with POP, I have made injection POP crawfish molds with remarkable details. Check out youtube channel Lakehousechronicle or go to Lonestarbaitco.com both places will get you to many videos on making the molds your wanting. Good Luck.

Good Night! For anyone else having a hard pack problem with plastic they already have... I take the paint can approach, throw a couple of CLEAN DRY stainless steel nuts in the jug. It can take a while but it will remix the plastic.
-
I bought a used one from a yard sale for 15.00 still going strong 2 years later. A lower power one is great, its a little harder to ruin the plastic. but anything will work. Stir and monitor often

Keeping Plastic Clear Thru A Few Heat Cycles
Lonestarbaitcompany replied to Ed_White's topic in Soft Plastics
Try covering your Pyrex cup with a potholder to keep the heat in. If you work quicker on the first batch you maybe able to do more then one pour before it cools off. I try to do larger amounts when possible because the heat holds longer and you can reheat less even though you have more plastic. -
The tails hold just fine, the aluminum molds seem to hold enough heat that everything bonds, shoot a couple and see how durable they are, if they do tend to come apart after a while just shoot more and replace them sooner. I think they will be fine.
-
Orel, Go to lonestarbaitco.com watch all the videos and read the website, between those and the forums you will have an excellent start to bait making.
-
The easiest way to pour a two color front and rear color, would be to inject the mold completely with the first color cut the bait reinsert it in the mold and shoot the second color. I do this for Senko tails all the time. I have a video on two color flukes that I did with one injector, that might give you more ideas. Look up youtube channel lakehousechronicles.
-
Welcome! I tried getting my kids envolved in bait making but I found they changed the sink rate to much and the fish didn't hold on as long. Hmmm on second though I'm not sure we are talking about the same envolvment.
-
Hehe , Thanks bj it's pretty cool when someone else responds to a topic for you! Check out bait junkies link his stuff is great!
-
Mark, You can get some excellent info on pop molds from lonestarbaitco.com Good luck
-
I have two Senko injection molds, I find both of them are much easier to hand pour then inject.
-
Go to the color chart page there you will find several download options, it should be working fine. Thanks
