deerhuneter02 Posted August 5, 2007 Author Posted August 5, 2007 Mostly soft plastic worms and that sort. Maybe a few crankbaits. Quote
Super User Hookemdown. Posted August 5, 2007 Super User Posted August 5, 2007 Well, I hate to break it to you, but you can't just make a few. This stuff is addicting! Here's a good article on cranks http://bassresource.com/fishing/crankbait_making.html I don't know anything about pouring, but here's a few more articles. http://bassresource.com/fishing/crankbait_making.html http://bassresource.com/fishing/pouring_plastic_worms.html http://bassresource.com/fishing/pouring_plastic_worms_supplies.html Quote

harshman Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 Welcome to the tackle making world, it is a very rewarding hobby. There are alot of tackle making supply companies out there to help get you started. www.jannsnetcraft.com www.staminainc.com www.barlowstackle.com Like mentioned above be careful, tackle making is very, very, very addicting. You think you can control it and only say you will only make one or two lures...then that leads to more types of lures....and so on and so on. Before you know it you have built a tackle making room in your garage, have more lure molds and accessories than ten people could ever use and so many hooks your friends will think you have to catch fish to survive day to day. And if you run into problems there is always some one on this site that can help. It is truly a great bass resource. Harshman Quote
