COBRA Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 i make one like the 9" houdini shad. what exactly do you need to know or what where you wondering about the baits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
videorov Posted January 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Can you copy a manufactured one to make your mold? What does the rubber cost to make one? I wonder if it is worth it to make them our just buy them. If the rubber cost to much it just wouldn't be worth it. Is the rubber sold by the gallon etc? How much? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millsryno Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 You can purchase plastic from these 3 suppliers. If you go to their websites you can get pricing for all your materials. www.del-mart.com www.lurecraft.com www.fishingworld.com/M-F-Manufacturing From my understanding you are going to want swimbait or tube or saltwater plastic, not soft handpour. I could be wrong though, I don't pour swimbaits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
videorov Posted January 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 3" shad would be about the same too. I just wonder how much it cost to make one. Then I would have an idea for the total cost if I bought their mold and pour my own. I would think it would be cheaper then DOA shirmps.Their stuff is high. All depends how much the rubber coast and how many I can make from say quart of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
