AT Grimaldi Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Hello all. Thank you so much for putting up such a great resource and sharing candidly about how things are done, mistakes made and final successes. You have all really helped me tremendously. I have been fishing for 30 yrs and started making my own spinner baits when I was 15. I am pretty good at making wood plugs, lead jigs, flies etc for saltwater fishing. I am from Rhode Island. I just started getting into Tuna fishing. Around Cape Cod, they use HUGE plastics from 9" sluggo like tings to 15". I made a POP mold and poured my first batch last night under the guiding eye of a more experienced cohort. They came out better than I had expected! I can now see how one could do all sorts of cool things with the plastic and colors, glitter, layers etc. I bought all my stuff from M-F. I only got my three most fished colors - bubble gum, white and pearl white. I know there are many sources out there, Dels, Lurecraft, Zeiners etc for all sorts of additives. My main question, is to the all work with each other? In other words, if I stock up on 5 gal.s of M-F saltwater plastic, can I use some M-F colorant, some from LureCraft etc? Lurecraft just has Waaayyy more colors right out of the bottle than does anyone else I have seen so far. I'd love to be able to use many of their colors, but I already have M-F Plastic and don't know if they will all mix well with each other. Any and all advice appreciated. - ATG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Prager Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Yep, like Dave said we all do it. Not a problem mixing. Start off slow with the Lurecraft colors. They are quite a bit more concentrated than M-F. Probably 3 times as strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
