dsmblack Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Try about 10 drops LC pumpkinseed and a drop or two of amber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveh Posted February 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 thanks i will try that. dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsmblack Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 dave, I was at a sporting goods store today amd looked at an actual Zoom pumpkin worm and to me it looks like it can be made by just using pumpkinseed from Lure craft and black flake. I would add a couple of drops 1st then heat my plastic and add drops as needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallie Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Like dsmblack said "add drops as needed". Once you get it the way you want it, write it down because you won't remember it next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint308 Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Yeah, that is a bit of a problem. Not that I am some kind of expert, but I have been asked questions about selling baits before. One of my first answers is not to start until you are prepared to fill huge orders. Otherwise, you go to fast or try to cook too much at one time and scorch the plastic. Even if it takes a bit longer, remember a cusotmer's first order is the the one that will make or break a repeat customer. Good luck with everything. Saint.

MDC Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Good advice from Saint. If you sell that many of that particular bait, set some of the proceeds aside for another mold. You'll be amazed how much your production will increase. Stick to a 'product line' and keep multiple cavities of those baits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
