mangeboy79 Posted October 2, 2003 Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 i have been making my own carnks and jerkbaits for the past 14 years . have in the past tried making sillicon mold for crankbaits. i know how to do that!! the plastic to fill my mold is my problem. i have been using a 2 component plastic with some filler material. the result was a solid sinking plastic crank with poor preformence. what im lookig for is a plastic that gives me a solid floating plastic body. that i can weight with led. does any body have any tips on material,web pages with info about molding ????

beentheredonethat Posted October 2, 2003 Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 Suddeth Crankbaits are a 2-part resin foam that is bouyant. They were picked up by Blademaster Lures recently. You can see/contact them at www.blademasterlures.com I believe they use an injection process though. Also, read somewhere recently about a 2-part resin Hilts used to sell/use for the same purpose. Don't know if Hilts is still around. Someone else here might know. btdt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
