Jig Man Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Check out Bear's Baits, Janns Netcraft, Barlows, Lure parts on line, lure craft, etc. See what starter kits they have. You'll also need a heat source, gloves, and some way to pour your baits. If you want to save money, don't start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pat28 Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Don't. Ever. Cost me seven hundred so far, started but a month ago. Won't ever compensate for it. Oh yeah, it is also tons of fun, perhaps because of the fumes. Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 It really is a bummer for those who start out thinking they'll save money. It seems like most new tasks when taking them on yourself can become pretty costly. A little off topic, but we have a few concord grape vines, and this year my wife and I decided to take on making wine. We started out with just the basics, and lo and behold.........5 months later we're about 800 bucks in for maybe a few bottles of wine. LOL. On the plus side, most of the products we purchased are good for years to come, so if we decide to do it again ( ), we should be good to go. With bait making, if you stay at it, you WILL get better........and the better you get, the more money you spend. You'll go through plastic a helluva lot faster, buy more molds, colors, flake, etc. In the end, though, there's nothing that equals catching a fish on a bait you made. That alone makes it worthwhile! Good luck in your pouring and don't be afraid to shoot questions our way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
