Senkosam Posted February 28, 2004 Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 Most of the posts on the Soft Plastics forum are about pouring. But a friend of mine showed me a simple technique for altering and joining plastics together to form an entirely different lure. That's not to say the new hybrid can't be molded, but that it can at least be reproduced for personal use in the future. Ie.: More than 50% of the 40 designs I've molded, are hybrids. Who says the lures have to be existing designs or bought from LC?

earthworm77 Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 Frank, awesome!!!!! I'm going to give it a try on a lake near my house that has a dragonfly pattern in mid June. I think I'm going to go with the 2" model because they are small bugs. I can see this little bait being a killer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
