Anglinarcher Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 I hate when a thread does not get the response, and respect, it deserves. Hopefully this will break the ice. The soft plastic beads you show being made are AWESOME. If I still lived in Washington State, I would be all over this. As for the question, yes, I did some, with a mold I made from RTV Silicone, but it was several years ago. NEVER did I have the color options you show. Excellent, truly excellent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 Awhile back, we had a member asking about the center dot or "eye" of a salmon egg and I remember that being a really cool thread. Problem is I believe he was the only one doing them at the time. I know that doesn't help in the least bit, but hopefully someone else will chime in. Welcome aboard, and good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-5 Posted January 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 Thanks guys. I pour senkos also but was appalled at the price of atlas Mike's eggs. Literally 10x cheaper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-5 Posted January 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) I also make my own homemade clay steelhead beads. I can post those if your interested in seeing them Edited January 31, 2018 by A-5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driftwood Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 We make the eye with a hot glue gun. We made a mold with the glue sticks and rtv so we just poured the color of the eye we wanted into the stick, dot the mold with the glue gun where we wanted the eye and then shot the color. I think lure craft sells the mold also. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayBead Posted January 5, 2024 Report Share Posted January 5, 2024 I poured these last night first time ever definitely have some experimenting too do but it seems the possibilities are endless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Young Posted January 7, 2024 Report Share Posted January 7, 2024 I have a Jacobs mold & machine mold that i use medium plastisol to make soft plastic salmon eggs in hot pink & chartreuse to use as crappie nibbles. One or two a day is all you use unless you break off. Sure beats paying 6 bucks a jar from them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
