pat28 Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Never thought I would have fun with modeling clay as an adult, that is to say without my kids in the vicinity. Cannot say whether they will work or not, but the fun of making them was worth it. Comments welcome. Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) They look good, but the fish will have the final word. It is weird how we wind up doing the same stuff we enjoyed as kids, as adults. Kinda like fishing. You should post your pictures in the Soft Bait gallery, and just add the link to them here. Posting pictures here seems to overload the system, or something, and Nathan (admin.) asked us not to do it.

Kajan Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 I never used clay as a starting pt for making masters but I think most use a clay that gets hard and can be sanded. You need to make a slick lure first, polish it as good as possible then make your dimples and etchings. Then you would have to seal it with a high gloss material. You will then need to re work the etchings and dimples to get depth your wanting. Your appendages seem to be too thick also, but that might be what your after. I prefer wood or some other hard base to make a master with. You asked if they will work, well not sure what special aspects those lures have as far as action. Might work might not. Its like everything else, some people have a nack and some don't for knowing what will work as far as engineering wise. Ma' some people can catch fish using a hook and a cigerette butt LOL so who knows what dem pwesons' will eat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
