bojon Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Many,many years ago,before the Senko people even had a buisness(I think),best guess it was the late 1960s,the CREEPY CRAWLER period. I was pouring in a homemade open mold.I used very fine sand to weight my worms,Later switched to craftstore sand,called scenic sand.I lived out west in the dust and sand,so sand was easy to come by.All I did was use my fingers to sift a small amount down the entire length of the worm as soon as it was poured.Don't plan on it being suspended in the middle of the bait it sinks to the bottom.This worked very well,but I never used one wacky style,back then I doubt anyone did.I wished I did.Like the Senkos,they tore up very easy. Does anyone out there know when the Creepy Crawler toy came out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Prager Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 It was in the '60's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike-A-Pike Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Well, add your number plus 10 and you'll know how it makes me feel. I keep thinking that my kids had better get going with getting me some grandbabies or I'll just have to make some more of my own... That will reduce thier inheritance and get thier attention.

hawghunterbaits Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Hum Creepy Crawlers, Wow that brings back some memories! Now that I am a big boy I am still playing with plastic! Go figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flabasspond Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Hello Evoryone....YES!! I had a creepy crawler set!! did I enjoy it?...I mean c'mon I had 2 younger sisters LOL!! They made a fortune in just the aftermarket stuff....new molds and of couse that awful smelling plastic, which lasted about 5 days of serious "pouring". It was a much better toy than "Incredible Edibles" I believe is was 67 or 68, just before Vac-U-Form made the market. ...Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bojon Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Thanks for setting me straight on the time line.I knew it was a while back.My first mold was using fiber glass resin used for car body repair.My first batch of Plastinol was from Herters.Couldn't let it get below freezing. I think it was shipped in metal containers. To get back to how much sand ,you will,like a lot of things in pouring lures,have to test the amount out.Make sure the sand is dry.I didn't use much at a time,and it sank well.

charkins Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 I have used the scenic sand. If memory serves me correctly, it was about 1.3 times as heavy as salt. Hope that helps some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
