MGrant Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Just thought that I would post some pics of some new colors, laminates, and pours that I was playing with to see what everyone thought. Also, just like everyone said, my wife came home today and complained about the smell. Just had to laugh, becouse as I had seen from this forum it would be coming.

BassAkwards Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 I like them colors too, I've been getting some complaints on the smell as well. I still say its better than burnt toast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braveviper Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 You can see where it says Slider on the collar! Those are really cool colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike-A-Pike Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 I don't pour plastic, but I do understand diversionary tactics. I would check with your local taxidermist to see if he has a skunk for sale, even better if he has one that looks like road kill. Then, on days your going to be pouring a lot, put Mr. Road-kill in the driveway or some other fairly close location to your pouring site... no matter how strong the oder gets, you have a built-in excuse for the smell.

Smallie Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Excellent job on the laminating - nice colors too! Is the slider mold homemade? If so, what material is the mold made from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGrant Posted May 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Both molds are homemade. (Commercial copies) I use POP, but I use a brand by Webster that is a premium crafting POP. It still only costs $4 for 4lbs so it is not like it cost more. Its even microwavable to cure it. Its a much finer powder than like dap pop, and makes a much better mold with less porosity. It also seals much better with a thined elmers glue coating than like dap brand pop from the hardware store. As far as the wife, I could cook stink bait until see really complains about that then ask which of the two she would rather me do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallie Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 You did a great job making the molds. The detail is outstanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longhorn Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Good looking baits...I've caught a ton of fish on a slider worm. Good old POP and Elmer's...hard to beat. I also use the craft POP it seems to be more fine or smooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rxfish Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Playing with new colors gets you............some really nice looking baits. Second set reminds me of a krinkle cut fry. Bass Pro Shops use to sell a bait like that. Get yourself some ventilation, long term its not good for you, trust me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
