Anakedman Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Hello Im new to this site and to making my own baits. It seems like I use the same baits in the same colors on different lakes and rivers. I want a zoom trick worm mold. is it all right to have a one piece mold or 2 piece mold. The other mold is baby brush hog 1 or 2 piece? Or what molds need to be 2 piece or 1 piece with out effecting action. What kind of plastic would I need to start that would be the easiest to pour. Just new to this and need some input from some of you pros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irbassnut Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Hey, Welcome,I would suggest you start out with a single mold 1st . the 2 part molds are nice but very pricey,and some require injection pouring. For plastic,molds,and supplies go here Fishing Lure Making Products, Soft Plastics, Lead Molds, Hooks and more! - LureCraft They have the new green plastic that doesn't smell like some other plastic They will have everthing you need to get you started. Once you improve your pouring skills and mixing colors you can move on to the 2 part molds. Good luck and have fun!!!

Lurecrafts mold #5x749 http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q80/mrbilky/DSCF0223.jpg is a match to zooms trick worm and is a 1 piece mold that pours great. Get yourself a starter kit and a few colors that you use and have at it. Make sure you get glitter that is made for high temps, store craft glitter tends to melt. Read Lurecraft's website I think for what you want to do medium plastic will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveh Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 i use lc med plastic on dels 2 piece 6in trick. the thing i found out about making tricks is getting them to fall and have the same action as zooms. i use to use no salt on my tricks wacky style and they took for ever to sink. i then had trick worm races in a bucket. i took a zoom worm and my worm and sank them togeather in the bucket. zoom would fall much faster to my saltless one. i started adding salt to mine till i got them to sink at the same rate. i also add a half cape of calhon softerner to them. it ended up being 20 dashes of salt in 4oz. thats using lc measuring spoons. i know this is coping someones bait but till i did this with the salt i was not catching as many fish. i tear the bass up with this bait. you can also use a jig head to get them to sink if you do not use salt.
