Super User Munkin Posted January 3, 2019 Super User Posted January 3, 2019 Took a break from the wire baits to try out some new molds. I haven't made too many soft plastic baits the past few years but plan on getting back into it. Figured I would show everyone to see what you think?

AC870 Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 I need to fish some of those minnow baits. I heard you could put a green pumpkin minnow on a shakyhead, dip tail in chartreuse and put a dab of chartreuse on chin and murder the fish. Quote
Super User Munkin Posted January 4, 2019 Author Super User Posted January 4, 2019 Super chunk Jr on a 5/16oz jig is the fish catcher for me. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted January 6, 2019 Global Moderator Posted January 6, 2019 I just got into plastics last year, exclusively doing repours as a way to do something with the excessive amount of old baits I end up with instead of just throwing them away. It works pretty well once I got the hang of it and the fish don't mind my funny colors. 3 Quote

Super User Sam Posted January 8, 2019 Super User Posted January 8, 2019 Good job. You did good!!!! Quote
Super User Munkin Posted January 8, 2019 Author Super User Posted January 8, 2019 Trying to get back into pouring these after my accident. I spilled about 3oz of molten plastic over my hand one night trying to pour fluke tails. The burn was bad and my fingers swelled up to about twice their size which is why I have been hesitant.

GP and black are the best colors but I take them all. Some of the odd colors I just mix together and pour as senkos which I give away. Allen Quote
