bridout00 Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 I'm interested in starting to make my own soft plastics I never done it before looking for a good starter kit to get started and do you have to have a special mold to make two tone baits any help would be great thanks!

Bassinfool Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Do it molds has a great starter kit. In order to get a two colored bait (known as a laminate) you either have to hand pour one color into the mold and then inject your second or you'll need a blending block and two injectors. Word of advice, if you're interested because you think you'll save money making your own you couldn't be more wrong! However, if you want to make them for your own enjoyment and thrill of catching fish on something you made then I highly recommend starting. It's a lot of fun to just sit around your shop and make up colors you've never seen. Do it has just come out with its essential series of molds colorants and glitters which would definitely be something to look into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FATFLATTIE Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Yeah I would agree that if you think you will save money doing this you're wrong. Maybe years down the road and thats if you value your time at zero. Molds are expensive and you WILL screw up batches of plastic (not the right color ect.) That said, it's a blast to do and there is something very gratifying about catching a fish on a bait you made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driftwood Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Resist the temptation to give baits away at the local tourney and you can recoup some of your investment by making lures for others. Just keep the good colors for yourself lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
