Joshua Russell Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 Hello everyone, I am new to pouring my own baits, and have a lot of questions. I am interested in pouring a large swimbait 10 or 12 inches that I can use for muskies. What type of mold would be best suited for this type of bait? I would also like to know how to pour a two tone bait with say a dark back and a white belly. How much time do I have to pour this so the plastic does not mix in the mold?? Also, I am wondering if I can paint my finished baits with an airbrush for a custom look?? Is that something that anyone else does?? I would like to make one look like a rainbow trout. Any help you can give me is much appreciated. Thanks and God bless. Joshua Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigmeister Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Joshua, You can copy (make a mold) of any swim bait easily if it has a flat side on it . Typically most swimbaits will be flat on the back . I think Lurecraft sells a mold like you're looking for if you don't want to make one . For a multi colored bait you just pour the lighter belly color in first and then gently pour the darker back color in over it . You don't want to wait too long or you can have problems with the two layers not bonding together well. As far as painting baits afterwards theres a big thread going on that one right now ..................good luck ,Jigmeister Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
