CTBASS56 Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Hello folks, I am brand new to this website and to pouring baits. I am 100% interested in getting into this line of work and have been for years. My only problem?? I have no idea where to begin and what equipment I need. I have been searching this websites forums and links, and while I have seen a lot of the equipment/products that are out there, I can not decipher what is right for me. Long story short, what do I need in order to make my own soft plastics from molds to plastisol and everything in between? Should I hand pour or use injection molds? What are the benefits? Additionally, are there any instructional books/dvds out there that take you through the process step-by-step? Thank you guys for any information you could give me as I feel I have finally found a place that may be able to get me started in the right direction.

I believe Lurecraft.com has a video...as to injection versus hand pour....they both have advantages...3 color laminates are easy in a hand pour....harder (but not impossible) with injection. Injection has the advantage of pretty much perfect bait first time, every time...then it's just fine tuning your color recipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
