JayFishing Posted February 13, 2022 Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 Hi all, I am new to pouring my own soft plastics. I also hope I'm posting in the correct place--don't mean to start any chaos. I am an experience angler and even tie my own flies, but about a year ago my buddy got me into bass fishing and I am hooked! The one bait that never fails me is of course...discontinued. People have said that I can find these specific baits in the Yum bins at Walmart, but I am tired of looking for these bins and never finding them. I am ready to pour my own. I recently discovered a small company that pours the EXACT soft plastic. I'd ask them how they got their hands on the exact molds, but I don't want them thinking I'm trying to steal their business by starting one of my own. I would simply just like to pour my own favorite bait and make them in the colors I need. I recently reached out to a few companies, but now am feeling a little worried that I might be contacting companies that end up taking my money and making a run for it. I read about a few bad seeds in a different lure making forum, but really like this forum. Can anyone tell me if they've had great or bad experiences with any of these companies recently? Baitjunkys, LureCraft (Kim seems to be the contact person), TDS Molds. I'd like to support a US company and appreciate everyone's input. Thanks!

Jig Man Posted February 13, 2022 Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 I’ve dealt with Baitjunkys and Lurecraft which I believe is now part of Lure Parts Online. I don’t know the other one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsworms Posted February 13, 2022 Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 I have only dealt with Lure Craft which is now owned by LPO, but by all accounts all 3 are solid companies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driftwood Posted February 13, 2022 Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 If those are the only companies that sell the mold you are looking for, baitjunkies or lure parts would be the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
