adnyl68 Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 Can anyone recommend a good starter kit for pouring soft plastic baits. I'm new to this but would like to make my own injection molds and make drop shot type lures so I'm trying to learn all I can. lynda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglinarcher Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 A lot of sources have good starter kits. Makelure.com has a couple of options. Lurepartsonline.com, the "owners" of this site have a good one. Do-it has a good one. It all depends on how much, if any, prior experience you have and where you want to go with it. Welcome to the site and have some fun. Warning, it can be addictive. http://www.makelure.com/store/p/1088-MakeLure-Alumisol-Worm-Casting-Kit.aspx http://www.makelure.com/store/p/655-Soft-Bait-Kit.aspx http://www.lurepartsonline.com/Online-Store/Do-it-Softbaits-Essential-Series/Essential-Series-Starter-Kit.html http://store.do-itmolds.com/Essential-Series-Starter-Kit_p_1141.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adnyl68 Posted July 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 Thanks so much for all the links and for answering a question that I'm sure has been asked several times before on this site! I like the Alumilite website with all the how to videos but the starter kit looks like it has very small amounts....but I guess that's why its a "starter" kit....just enough to get me hooked! Is one more economical that the other ? I am so new at this I'm not sure . Lynda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynda You might get some mixed opinions here, but personally I never liked starter kits because there's always gonna be molds and materials that you don't like or will never use. I'd recommend starting with a couple baits that YOU like to fish and go from there. Once you get good, you can move on to other molds.

Anglinarcher Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 I will admit, I started like alsworms suggest, but 45 years ago there were no "starter kits". None of the starter kits are more economical then the others, but they differ on what they have. I like the Alumilite because they enable me to make what I want. I just don't see the point in molding the same thing everyone else does, just don't think it is worth the money. On the other hand, I will go out of my way to mold a color I want or a shape I need. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
