basscat28 Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 I wanna get into making hard body swimbaits out of a resin. I plan on using real Shad and baitfish for the master. I've been looking at alumilite products. I'm wanting to make something like the bullshad or glide baits but in smaller versions.Has anyone played around with this and had much success?

token12 Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 I haven't had much success with my resin swim bait prototypes. There is a video somewhere on youtube where a guy uses a real shad for the master. I carved mine out of wood then made the mold. I'm on my 4th or 5th revision of the swim bait. Going to test it out tomorrow afternoon. I have used a 10 minute urethane plastic by smooth on with some micro balloons added in to help with sanding. Solarfall baits on youtube recently did a 30 minute video on a gizzard shad he made from wood then used feather-lite i think to make the cast.
