How To Start

[zachb34]

Ive been wanting to start making my own baits like 10 inch worms senkos flukes etc so can someone help me with a ''shopping list'' of wht I need molds glitters colors plastics and everything

You need some plastisol up to $40/gal), glitter $3-5 per bottle), colorant ($3-5 per bottle), what ever molds you want to use ($50-100 each), some good gloves that are heat resistant ($5-20 per pair), some measuring cups ($2-10 each), a microwave oven ($30-75), an infared themometer ($30-100) and a place outside the house to do the work.

You can spend anywhere from a few bucks to hundreds getting setup. Look at places like Bear's baits, Jacob's, Lurecraft, Jann's Net Craft, Barlow's, etc. Some of them have starter kits with most of what you will need to begin.

What ever you do don't use the microwave in the kitchen.

Do a search, there are a lot of posts on here about how and what you need for pouring. Also, check out tackleunderground. They are a sight dedicated to lure building.

I use Kosher salt from the grocery store. I use my wife's coffee grinder and make it into powder. A couple of bucks worth of salt lasts me years.
