ninjalake Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 Hi guys, I'm new here and in aww at the work(more like art) I've seen here, you guys are amazing! I've been drawing lure designs, studying hydrodynamics and making clay prototypes for about a year and i'm now looking to take the next step. I'm looking around at different materials, and curious what material the Bull shad is made of? It looks to be a mold of some sort? I'm a big fan of this lure, I just haven't seen any other lure that seems to use this material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bass Man Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 Welcome to TU!! A lot of molded baits are made from resin mixed with microballoons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clint M Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Check alumilite. Might be your best bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 If you're just a hobbiest, or a fisherman like me who is too cheap to buy stuff, try carving your lures out of PVC trimboard by AZEK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjalake Posted December 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Awesome, thanks guys! I figured it was a resin of some sort but having never worked with a resin I wasn't sure. @mark got some PVC board to try out, just haven't put a blade to it yet. Want to try and make a mold of my current 'clay lures' first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
