arveey Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Hi all, Hoping someone can help, i want to start pouring my own plastic baits over here in the UK... does anyone know where i can get hold of microwavable plastics that are suitable? I've been looking on and off for a while but seem to keep drawing blanks. I've been on here browsing for quite a while and thought its about time i just asked as i'm sure someone can help. Thanks in advance, Mark www.pikeandperch.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaSynapse Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Hello! I'm french, and personnaly, I find all this kind of stuff in france... Maybe this link would interest you! French shop called Bricoleurre You won't have to pay VAT I think, and you even have an english version! Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diemai Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 @ arveey Don't know one in particular , but have you checked My link ? On the entry site there click on the "links" symbol on the left(yellow lure) , after a site with three different link options would show , ...click "manufacturers links" and a list with heaps of lure-fishing related sites from the UK , Europe , USA and worldwide would open up , ......maybe you'd be lucky in there ? I know , that there is a source for such stuff in Germany (or the Netherlands or Switzerland , not quite sure anymore) as well , I've visited their site once before ,....... if you want , I could try trace it again ! good luck , diemai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philB Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Hi Mark I know what you mean, the UK is a luremaking barren wilderness. I have in the past got parts from Holland. They sell soft plastic and colours/glitter ect. Downside is as usual cost. I have never found a supplier in the UK. http://www.lureparts.nl/index.php?cPath=40&osCsid=5jsktklgqumvf97rmdmsqe47b0 philB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green_Fingers Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Hi Mark, I live in Switzerland and order my plastic from MF in the US, good quality, good price and good service, the shipping works out ok (aprox 40$) if you order at least a gallon and have it shipped by US postal service by sea (NOT AIRMAIL!) but it takes up to 8 weeks! I tried the plastic from Lureparts.nl which I found pours just as well but boy does it stink!!! (IMO in comparison to MF plastic) As for VAT and customs duty etc...it hasn't been consistant for me, once i paid an additional charge (aprox 25£) but the other two or three time I never paid any import duty or VAT! Both lureparts.nl and the French site Bricolure sell rtv for making molds, however I only use POP to make my molds and also have a few aluminium ones that i got from the TU classifieds. Good luck and look forward to seeing soem more euro pours in the gallery! Cheers, Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philB Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Mark I think I gave Lureparts.nl the kiss of death when I put up the link, it seems they have removed the plastics pouring stuff they had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also looking for a UK supplier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
