Looking to get into plastic pouring, Yes or no?

[PressuredFishing]

Hey there guys, so I am really looking to make some custom trick worms because I wanted to make a few special colors for certain lakes and clear water clarities that are very hard to find in stores, some of the colors include

Clear with silver+black flake, baitfishy color. do you guys think I could make some of the colors that are listed down below? really is a need for the colors down below and end up having to buy no name brand worms that are kinda expensive to get these colors, if you guys know big name brands that make really good trickworms or small flukes in these colors hmu!

(Clear translucent greens/cinimons or reds, just the color not bait style) +red flake)

 

 

Clear translucent pinks and smokey greys with silverish+black flake

(pinkish)

 

(smokey and black+silver flake but even more translucent than this)

There are some essentials for getting started.

 

plastisol……….$40

gloves…………..  10

heat source……. 50

mold……………. 100

glitter…………….  30

colorant……….    50

injector………….  80

 

These are just ball park figures for some of the things that you will need to get started.   It is a great hobby but know there is no end to buying molds and other items.  I’ve been making my own baits for a very long time and mold makers keep me buying new molds.

Probably easier to just get someone else to make them unless you really want to get into baitmaking.

I thought I was going to get into making plastics, until I started doing it. It's so time consuming, expensive, and messy. I spent a few hundred dollars and felt like I'd barely dipped my toes into the water getting started making plastics. Unless you're going through hundreds of certain colors and not making a bunch of different styles and colors, I'd just have someone else make them.

Thanks it's good to hear that from someone who has actually done it, I'm sure I could find some custom pourer and pay a little more money for a bag of soft plastics

Yeah I will probably have someone make the colors for now because I don't know if I want to get into baitmaking.

Well that's a really good price sheet you have made, thankyou alot for this information, maybe buying soft plastics in custom colors may be better for me for now

There are lots of guys who do custom pours.  Tackle underground has a bunch of members who sell their puoducts as does the custom bait site.  You probably will have to register to be able to post.
