Silo1688 Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 I've been reading alot of posts concerning using PVC crankbodies, and it seems that everyone using PVC is making the bodies themselves. Do you know anyone/anywhere OR is anyone (TU members) are willing to sell some PVC blanks? I'm looking for both flat and rounded bodies 2 1/4 - 3in long. Thanks again, George.

bassguy Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 I haven't heard about anyone making PVC blanks for sale, but I've been known to be wrong.... Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Most of us who use PVC are just home builders (apologies to the pros here) and we cut them out of PVC decking and trim board. It is relatively labor intensive, so I, for one, really don't want to make bait bodies for sale. You might have more luck with guys who pour resin-type baits from molds they've made.

northrivergeek Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 PVC Decking .. all I can find at my Local Home Depot and Lowe's is very pricey Trex and Veranda Brand .. and Im not even sure if its PVC.. looks like it has wood particles mixed in the deck boards.. the only other PVC I can find is back in the trim section .. .. I did find a Azek dealer 20 miles away .. but don't know what they carry as far as sizes .. Id prefer 1/2 x 3 or 4" for flat sides and suspending minnow jerks.. is what lowes and home depot sell .. is that PVC ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northrivergeek Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Well I just answered my own question LOL ... Azek doesn't have wood pieces in it .. and you can buy all you want all over the internet .. and is much more affordable than crap the big box building supplies carry http://www.thedeckstoreonline.com/decking/azek-decking.html http://www.vintagewoodworks.com/azpvcpr.html those are just a couple I found online in a few mins..

jrhopkins Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 I use the PVC trim boards from Home depot. I've used the Azek from Vintage woodworks too. it is slightly more dense but works fine. if you order from Vintage make sure you get the smooth side boards and not the stuff with the wood grain finish.

Predator Bass Baits Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 I have scrap expanded PVC foam that I throw away it is 3/8" thick and can be chemically welded together to make it thicker. U probably would not be able to purchase the weld on to do it yourself. The plastic is free to anyone that would want it, I just ask that you pay for paypal fees and shipping. If u want it welded to make it thicker then add a few bucks. It can be cut to size on a table saw with a plywood blade, jig saw cutting is too slow and will melt the plastic but it can be filed or sanded to smooth out. A router can be used and makes a nice clean edge. email me if anyone is interested predatorbassbaits@charter.net I use the plastic for my other business pvccages.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
