redg8r Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 lol, I just replied to you over a TM, Then I see you posted here at home I just finished up a swimbait mold, but its only 4 inces & MINE But if you have an original, you can cast one in RTV The hardest part is the master cast, its pretty darn time consuming. I did this master out of polymer clay. I poured clear to see how the hook sits in the bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Splash Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 Cool bait Red, I've got to learn how to do that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 I tell ya red that polimer clay is neat stuff. U just made a 3 and 4" swim bait from it. Now I get to start the Multi Mold part of it. That Fimo was on sale at michales too. I bought all they had that was $1.00 a pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 Love those Swimbaits Red!! Do you pour yours with the hooks, or attach them afterwards? I have considered making some pre-rigged swimbaits, as soon as I get myself a "Round Tuit" Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redg8r Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 Thanks Fellas, yeah the clay is neat to work with because you can do a little at a time & if you like what you have so far just bake it & then add more detail & bake it again. the master for that one cooked about a dozen times. Al, I just sculpted the bait around an aberdeen hook & molded (w/RTV) the hook & all, now when I pour a bait, theres a slot built in for the hook, so its pre-rigged. the RTV is flexible, so you can get away with different sized hooks without having multiple molds. hope that helps.
